It's why queue's for this content are usually stuck looking for a tank or healer. It's just the nature of MMO's.
What I got out of this is “tanks and healers are expected to know what they’re doing, it’s okay for dps to slack off, and tanks/healers should carry the dps”. Dps have no responsibility or impact in dungeons? They sure do. Their responsibility is exactly what their role name means, to do damage. If they don’t do that, they slow down a run quite considerably.

Ive had plenty of dps impact my runs. Like when I get trapped in something as a healer, and the only way the get out is if the dps kill the trap I’m in. I have died so many times to mechanics like that, because the dps couldn’t bother to do a proper rotation and don’t kill it in time. Then the party wipes. It is not the responsibility of tanks and healers to carry lazy dps. It’s not our job to do the dps’ jobs. It’s so messed up to expect even more out of tanks and healers, and not have any expectations for dps. Everyone should be expected to carry their weight, and it’s totally unfair to put everything on everyone else but the dps.
