Consider for a moment how tragically inattentive and inept you have to be to let that happen. Seriously. Let it sink in.

How much flak did I catch for that? How much flak did I catch for not fulfilling my primary responsibility? None.
Adding my own anecdote: back in ShB, I leveled WHM up to 71 not knowing wth I'm doing. Freecure? Yeah, I used those. I caused a couple of wipes sometimes. Nobody gives a $h!t. People were like "It's okay let's give it another try." The only time I started to change for better was at 71 where I had that disastrous Holminster where my inexperienced a$$ couldn't handle the pull with Freecures. I did dps when I could; it's when I had to heal, everything started to fall apart as I panicked.

Did I catch any flaks? None, at all.

Oh oh and also~.. I'm not entirely your 'angelic, kind'-healer too. I had a few 'petty outbursts' at rare times when my tank refuses to wall pull in a friggin' dungeons. What did I do? I purposely stopped being that competent Glare Mage and proceed on to use Cure I (and its equivalent on other healer) only. Any flaks? Again, none.
