Sometimes it becomes the norm to skip some bosses, or avoid clearing areas that you can bypass .. people get SO upset when you try and do a full clear, or kill something that could have been skipped.
If you want to learn something else important for tanking, then play healer.

when you learn how they need each other, you will get a fine grasp on tanking in FF14 because the healer is the other one that decides if a party lives.

So choose one healer job for you and learn all the things about it, then, when you tank and some trouble occurs, you will understand, what the issue is and how to end it.
