He just left a party as healer because emnity was all over the place and healing a nightmare due to the tank refusing to use Defiance. This was in Tam-Tara but he's had as high as Halatali at least.

I've not done any low dungeons for a long time so haven't see it myself. Apart from being a jerk, is there any valid reason for this, it certainly wasn't a 'thing' when I was playing last time.
It could be for any reason. From my personal experience as a tank, it is from syncing down and forgetting it gets removed.

This isn't a really big trend and as your friend goes throughout the game and goes through dungeons multiple times, they will almost never run into it again. Maybe once or twice more.
