From the bit of information you provided, nothing about the kick seems "serendipitous" at all.

Getting hit by "bad" on occasion is inevitable, but you shouldn't purposefully get hit by things because you "think the Healer can keep up with me and the group."

Another non-issue is the separation of DPS. We are past the days of numbering mobs, and dungeons are just massive AoE-spamming clusterfucks. If that means you have to flash and spam your AoE rotation / AoE abilities ad nauseam to maintain hate, so be it.

We are always in an environment where tanks are in high demand, but the need for tanks is even more pressing with the launch of Stormblood. If a group thought your performance was such that they were willing to wait indefinitely for a replacement tank in the current climate, you may want to reanalyze your playstyle in group settings.
