So, I was in a Duty (Ala Mhigo) and was told to "stop spinning the boss". I suppose that's a reasonable request, but I died early on, and didn't trust the healer, so what was "spinning" to whomever made the request, was just "not standing in the bad stuff" to me.

Was I being unreasonable? How much should I be trusting the healer?

Also, who has time to type anything during a fight? I mean, sure, maybe some DPS, but as a tank, I've got a lot of stuff going on, and those cooldowns aren't as slow as they feel against a boss.
