Take it easy, Tanks.

So what are the pug tanks that will always irk the good healers?

The ones who only pop cooldowns after the big hits come. Oh no now i'm going to die, i better hit something. More like you wouldn't have been in that position if you were proactive. Don't you know what damage mitigation means? Did you know you can end up using Hallowed Ground 2x or more in a dungeon if you actually play proactive instead of reactive? What a concept! You might even make it into a decent raid group!

Or you have that sly one who says "i never had that problem" when it came to cooldown management.

Well, you probably had stand-around zero dps healers babysitting your bad play so you've been carried all along playing mediocre or terrible. You may have had two red dps too, that had some decent damage slack so that helps drag along your subpar skills.

Now the tables have turned where the healer is doing more damage than one red dps, whom can't even put a goad or buffs on the other red dps to help them put out more damage. As the other one is a huffing through their TP trying to AoE kill that pack down. Meanwhile you are taking more and more damage, cause the stuff just won't die and the green DPS is trying to pick up some slack in both healing and damage.

No one is asking for optimal play 24/7. Just you may not realize how bad you are playing until later on.

Was leveling my DRK the other day and went through Sirensong, my friend was the WHM and we had BRD and BLM as the DPS. So ya know, I do bigger pulls. Then my friend had to leave for some IRL stuff and we get a random WHM that looked to be in Bardam's gear so after we down the 2nd boss I ask if they're okay with a larger pull, DPS has been good and we have some nice AoE options. WHM just says "as you wish" which to me felt like he expected things to go badly but I was bored to I did the big pull anyways. Gather everything up and then proceed to dump most of my MP in Dark Arts Abyssal Drain and just watch my HP jump back up. Of course went through my cooldowns as well. Once the dungeon was over, left with 3 commends. Oh, also had Grit on (amazing I know)
