Why bother?

[AdrenKael]

The general idea is not sound, and I challenge your numbers. Where'd you get them from? What all are DPS standing in that you have to heal so much you lose almost 66% of your dps, because there have to be a *lot* for them to take up more than 66% of your GCD usage.

The idea IS sound because we're not talking about normal run of the mill stand in one or two aoes. I expect that we're talking about those late night 2 am duty finder runs where the DPS stand in EVERY aoe. If you want to know where the numbers are from they aren't representative of anything in particular but I'll give you a specific example.

In Nidhog in the aery the DPS standing in the flame I did 85% less dps and we failed because I was OOM and the tank died from me healing and rezing the DPS. When we came back and the DPS got their heads of their posterior regions and actually moved DPS shot up the tank stayed at 85% and we completed it in LESS time the it took us to fail the first time.

So please challenge away the fact that DPS stand in stupid slows us down to a crawl. But please let the DPS feel free to tout that standing in stupid makes their DPS go WAY up as they're're tanking the floor.
