    Tanks and super pulls

    I would like to bring up a issue concerning grievance that is going on inside the dungeons constantly and nobody is willing to do anything about involving these so sad super tanks
    For those of you who do not understand what a super tank is it is a tank who pulls more than one mob who thinks that he can handle the whole dungeon being piled on him at once
    not taking into the consideration that he is putting a major strain and grievance on the healer doing it without even asking thehealer when Super Tank dies he cusses out the Healer the reason why I know this this happened ttoa friend who I happen to be in a party with these super tanks need to be dealt with and they need to have the courtesy to ask the healer even capable of healing that much damage and not the healers fault if Super Tank dies because the Healer can't keep up because the tank did not take proper precautions to see if the healer is properly geared or could even handle it

    unfortunately this has always been a problem with no solution except to leave, take the 30 minute penalty, requeue fast as heals and blacklist them.

    Or, do tank yourself.

    I tank, and I don't do this crap because I hate it when people do it to me. I don't mind like a 2 group pull if I'm well-geared for the dungeon, and I don't mind when a competent tank does it, but a lot of times you get these macho tanks who think they are oh-so-awesome but yet they forget what Rampart or Convalescence is.

    This is the biggest problem really. Many tanks do not know how to use their cds properly and many don't use any at all. I see loads of tanks chain pulling out of tank stance and it's sometimes a nightmare to heal. If they do that and use no cds...yea you can guess.

    The cherry on top is when the dps do nothing but spam aoe, so all the mobs' hp trickles down at the same rate which means the damage the tank takes doesn't lessen as the fight continues...and if it lasts long that can easily lead to a healer going out of mana.

    I love healing but whenever anyone tells me they don't do it because it can be too stressful, I don't blame them.

    This is why i became a tank main over heal main in 3.0....

    Sure go ahead, pull all the things, but for gods sake use some defensive cooldowns....

    It can go other ways too, where dps or healers demand huge pulls. I tend to try for a middle ground, because pulling the whole area is nightmare of confusion.

    I'd guess a lot of people (myself included) just don't voice the opinion that they feels the run is going too slow. I do sometimes tell the tank at the start or during the run that I can handle big pulls, but it rarely ever bears fruit.

    I don't mind big pulls. My only problem is when they don't use defensive cooldown or do it badly.

    I however don't do big pulls when I tank because I don't feel confortable doing it.

    Or when as a pally I pull two mobs and burn through all my cooldowns, even hallowed ground, and I am still left to die by the healer. This is why I hate pulling more than one mob at a time. I never complain about healing in game, but it really burns me up when stuff like that happens.
