Are healers lazy or do some really live by "I only heal"?

[Whiteroom]

I went to just healing in ex roulette just now. Queued into fractal and everyone looked to be 190+. I obviously thought, good, a nice quick run. The burn ended up being about the same as you would see at ilvl 160, the tank didn't seem to be dodging anything or using cooldowns, at one point, they all even managed to get hit by the minataurs 111 tonze swing.

If they couldn't be bothered to play at an even mediocre level, I wasn't going all out for them. It was a true case of gear not making the player. It was a drg/blm combo too, not like a brd/mch combo, where you would expect a little less burn.


The above is an example of all players not playing optimally in their role, not just healers. You have tanks who won't try to maximise dps, or use defensve cooldowns, or dodge. You have dps who wont dodge, or use aggro dropping skills, because its the healers job to keep the alive, and the tanks job to keep the enemies off of them. It is a player problem not a role problem.

Example: not once, while tanking, have I seen that dragoon who attacks the mob furthest down the hate board use elusive jump to drop aggo.
