    If he let the Tank die then he was an idiot, but if he is letting the Tank get low when he is DPSing that is perfectly normal for any healer that isn't garbage. I would also love it if Paladins would do their own rotation and not bother using Clemency when they fall under 40% hp. Some people need to trust their healers more and stop panicing.

    Most of the time i try this i end up dead.
    Less than 10% HP left? Nope, no heals coming, just more DPS. And then death.

    Thanks a lot healer.

    At this point i'm convinced it's better to just heal myself when i get low than wait on a heal that doesn't come until it's too late.
    Trust at this point is running very low.
    Trusting the healer kills me way, way too often.

    There seems to be some sort of belief that tanks can keep going indefinitely without healing and that any tank who dies as a result of being ignored by the healer is bad.

    That's weird -- my experience as a healer seems to be the opposite. Usually the tank pulls 3 groups at once then doesn't use any of their cooldowns so I'm stuck with no option but to Largesse+Lightspeed Benefic II or Largesse+PoM Cure II spam while their health violently ping pongs and I don't get to do any DPS at all. It seems to me it would be much more efficient for the tank to use a cooldown on big pulls so I can at least place some DoTs and get off a Holy or Gravity or two, seeing as those cooldowns are almost never needed for boss fights anyways, but what do I know?
