Sadly it's come to the point where anyone who can manage at least the above criteria will get my commendation, but I am not really impressed by a Bard using Foe's or whatever for example because that's the most basic of gameplay and I don't think they deserve a pat on the back for it. Skill matters very little to me. I'll always commend the person who spoke or who was humble in complete failure above the mute who performed well. If you're a Healer who failed hard and nearly caused a wipe in Mhach but apologised sincerely while the Tank clutched the raid from a wipe, you're still getting my commendation over the Tank.
See, this I don't agree with. Based on your scenario, that tank pulled out victory from the jaws of defeat. They went above their basic rotation; maybe popped a perfectly timed Hallowed Ground or worked LB3 into their cooldown rotation to save the group from a wipe. Not giving them a comm because the healer apologized for mistakes feels cheap to me-- like you're giving them a participation award. I'll still be nice to said healer and tell them not to worry about it if it were an honest mistake, but I have to give the tank the comm because they did their job well and I like encouraging that.
