hall of the novice wrong?

Yeah, well, wall of text started writing itself long before that post.

Hehe, it was an interesting read, nonetheless.

If even one person has DoTs or AoEs, the other people who are single targeting should be hitting the targets that have the most health, so that individuals live longer, but the pack as a whole dies faster. So the point stands: tanks should AoE liberally and not focus on one target.

Agreed on that. As a tank, you should just hold hate on everything that is pulled. That's why I told him to use flash a lot in my first post.
Still, as in most cases, I believe communication is key. If he doesn't like them doing it, talking with the group might clarify and solve things.
