This is especially true it you're a lower-level, less geared tank running a dungeon with a fully kitted out 60 healer since their Regens can tick some damned strong emnity generation if it's on all the party and even more so with a Medica II. I'm not saying one shouldn't do it, I'm just saying one should be aware of when they can get away with it and when they can't.
I mean, I agree. I have no problem with tanks that aren't comfortable using it in any of these case by case situations. I'm not really making a case that they should be. Just because i'm completely comfortable pulling even with a full Medica II ticking, I don't expect everyone to have that level of comfortability in loldungeon content. However, going back to the point of the thread, the problem I do have is people just throwing out the blanket statement that you should never pull with provoke. That is still wrong to me regardless of how many scenarios someone tries to come up with of how it's a bad idea.
