Punished For wanting to get stuff done

Also, general rule of thumb in av is it's OK for the healer to take someone else's fruit, but never OK to take theirs. Considering this healer was focus healing the tank, the tank shouldn't even have moved at all. The fruits do respawn.

The fruits do respawn, but not fast enough when the newbie DPS just ate three at once, and you-the-tank are now at four poison stacks while trailing an angry ochu across the room...

Eat your fruit at two stacks. As far as I was aware, that's the only rule needed.

You seem to be forgeting one thing though.Stone Vigil and Brayflox are manditory story dungeons.
Cutters cry is optional.A lot of new players wont do that dungeon and as a result even in leveling roulette if they unlocked on another job it's highly unlikely to appear in duty finder.
AV is also optional.
Brayflox and Stone Vigil are the 2 dungeons a new player is guaranted to have to do and they are known as the 2 pre 50 dungeons that new players struggle the most on to progress story.

I know. Hence why they don't hit as hard a CC or AV. But which dungeons are mandatory, and which ones hit harder goes a little beyond the point I was making though, which is simply just scripted damage healers have to contend with.

For Locksmith, the fruits are literally everywhere, and respawn quickly. There really is no excuse for players letting too many stacks build up in that fight. A player going around eating fruit who has no stacks is an extreme example that is a rare case for a healer to deal with. If that is happening, someone needs to call that player out. Miser's Mistress is a different story, and I believe the OP was talking about the first fight specifically. For MM, it is usually best to inform a PUG how the fruit mechanic goes especially if there are sprouts due to there being much less of them, and far longer respawn time (I've actually never seem them respawn and just going by the guides that say they do). Otherwise MM tends to wipe most PUG at least once before they figure out that the fruit mechanic involves actual strategy.

There are only four fruits in the first boss room of Aurum Vale. Everyone is assigned their own fruit (tanks and melee get closest to boss, healers and ranged further away) and eat one at two stacks and their fruit should respawn just before they get a second stack again.

Miser's Mistress has fruits everywhere, but they take longer to respawn and you should only eat the fruits at three stacks.
