Yes you are supposed to engage. Instead of "attack or mitigate" you can "attack and mitigate" where you press the mitigation between attacks.

My team leaves out of range...full well seeing me stop. I die due to no heals. They explain that they believed i was pulling more. I said no problem. its okay. how do we get to the next batch and still die? we all stopped and I observe my healer doing DPS...on 3 peeps...
A lot of people want big pulls from tanks and will run ahead, pull enemies to you or abandon, especially in level 50/60/70/80 dungeons. I had to deal with this harassment regularly when I was new to tanking. I stopped the harassment by sprinting and doing big pulls, but this is undesirable the first time because of not being familiar with the dungeon.

The reason that healers do damage a lot is because they don't need to heal very often most of the time. They have heal abilities with no cast time that they can use between attacks and they may have been using these, especially if it was a scholar. Healers doing damage is not what causes wipes, healers not healing is so they should have at least been using their abilities.
