True, random tanks tend to freak out and starting to mash their keyboards in search of defensive cds (which is not bad actually), but when they pop something like Hallowed ground I have to stop and explain that everything is gonna be fine and I know what Im doing Although I can't say Im always flawless, I use Bene when Im in a pinch and I did drop tanks, while being overexcited DPSing, but it never caused a wipe, not even once. I just SQ ressed tank and went all heal mode till he's up.
As for DPS, I see myself as quasi DPS, so I try to compete as hard as I can with other DPS xD Of course with BLMs and SMNs I bite the dust in 95% of cases, but with melee I top DPS on double pulls most of the time. It's boss fights where my DPS drops significantly (to about 300-400) because single target and have to actually heal sometimes.
