I was doing 5-6 mobs at once with no cooldowns (I only pop those if I see the healer is struggling, or if it is an actual big pull or something dangerous actually in that pull).
    Literally 99% of them.
    Of course most of them are in i255-i270 gear, and usually the entry level to enter the dungeon.

    the only tank I ever seen not go down from multiple crits at once, in a single GCD, was Lv70, in their AF, synced down.
    Still took a butt load of dmg if they pulled 2 groups of mobs, and didnt use CDs though, but at least they didnt die faster than they were being healed with my CDs.

    pretty much if im out of CDs, the tanks going to die. Which happens plenty, if they pull enough mobs, and sprint to the next group.

    but its usually undergeared, non CD using tanks who pull 2+ groups anyways.
    and most of the time, 3 mobs doesnt global a tank, it just occasionally does happen, or at least come close.

    the number of times ive seen them die was only twice, but the number of times ive seen them go from full hp to1 or 2% hp, while im mid pre-casting cure, is like once per 2 dungeon runs. Which I can only assume is due to all 3 monsters landing crits, or even direct hit crits, at the same time. But it happens enough to panic me. Luckily I usually have 1 oGCD ready for 3 mob pulls, but usually not if it was just after a 4+ mob pull.
    The only other time ive seen this happen, and repeatedly the same dungeon, and before Lv60, was when the tank was also standing in AoEs. I didnt notice until near the end of the dungeon, as i was a bit panicked from the start of the dungeon spamming heals to keep them up. The Tank told me to stop DPSing, which I hadnt even cast any DPS spells, since there was no free time, and the RDM told them off, saying they were watching them stand in AoEs the whole dungeon. Which the tank said so what, they were a tank. I started noticing how often tanks stand in AoEs as well, like bardums run, or w/e its called, the walls do some serious dmg to tanks, and you have VERY little time to dodge the aoes. If a tank fails to dodge the 3 AoEs on them, when all 3 walls target the tank with them, will 1 shot them, even with rampart up. Seen that before, of course on the tanks screen, he's dodged it, so he just complains to me instead. Despite us all seeing he got hit.
