If I’m bored, I’m not having fun. In this case / example, i am not being engaged enough. While you should make it easier on your healer, you also shouldn’t be putting your healer to sleep.
How to really treat your healer; decent sized pulls (more than a pack at a time), mitigate, don’t step in the bad, know the tank busters and use your big cool downs on those specifically, and don’t act like you’re the boss. Do these things and you’ll have a happy healer.
However. If you pull small, waste time, get hit by obvious telegraphed ales and busters, i will not enjoy myself.
Why is it, we are in here, as tanks, trying so hard to justify small pulls. If you can’t handle it, be a dps. Let people who want to tank, and their healers handle the pace of the dungeons.
