DPS really should take advantage of their defensive cooldowns more. People say what OP says all the time and it's true that dps's main goal is of course to do damage. It doesn't hurt if they try to stay alive tho! Rarely do i see bards and monks pop second wind in random groups.... same with drg and keen flurry. They aren't as good defensive cooldowns as tanks get but they still do something.

That mention of the earth shakers (i assume) on T13 is a perfect example. DPS getting pummeled by unavoidable damage, pop keep flurry, wham, 20% less damage (usually). Doing the healing thing is a healers duty but, it doesn't hurt to help em a bit!

Dead dps do zero dps (I checked). But iono, not directed at anyone, just a general rant. /salute I'm equally guilty as anyone of forgetting to pop them.
