That I can actually believe as it's more of a playstyle optimization issue, like tanks who are too lazy to use their cooldowns. I'm more surprised about tanks who say they don't know what their cooldowns are at level 70.

Then again, I must admit to having played BLM from 1 to past level 50 (maybe even reaching 60) without using fire spells in dungeons (because I hated having to manage MP) and never hearing any actual complaint. (I only started using fire spells after overhearing a discussion on BLM rotations between fellow FC members.) But I would think a healer at the very least would complain about a tank who doesn't use cooldowns (even if they can keep them alive without it) somewhere before that tank reaches level 70. So at the very least he would be acquainted with those abilities even if he still chose not to use them.
