    There are so many tanks I see that just never use them. Saving them for a rainy day or something. Then when they hit 20% health it's like, here healer... There's all of my cooldowns. SAVE MEH! I think the cycling response is just a reaction to this "save for some unknown potentially sticky situation" mentality in some tanks. It is an effort to just get people used to using them.

    Precisely this. I would rather have a tank who plans their cooldowns around the instance than one who just rotates them for the sake of rotating them; but I would very, very much rather have a tank who uses them rotationally over a tank who "saves them for a rainy day."

    EDIT: One might say the best tank is one with...Foresight.

    Typical bad tank that blows all of their cooldowns at 20%: "JESUS TANK THE WHEEL!"
