Yes, being able to full heal once every 30 seconds during trash packs only (it doesn't work this way in actual content, against bosses), is a majority of the flavor which makes me prefer WAR, and even subscribe to FFXIV at all.
I primarily play solo, while I do max out all classes and gear my roles via raiding, my primary method of interfacing with this game is soloing on WAR. It is why I choose WAR, it is my fun in the game. Whenever I'm playing SGE, I thank my lucky stars whenever I get a WAR as my tank, because I get to spend more time DPSing. So I personally don't get the whinging about 'mah role', because I spend a great deal of time healing and presently the only tank that makes me hate my job is DRK, the weakest one right now, the one that you can't take your eye off of for half a second otherwise it's curtains. That's not fun (for me).
I'd say that people taking issue with WAR ought to pick a more fun tank to heal for their static, but it's clear none of this conversation is about raiding at all, and is purely about Dungeons, which is the only place Bloodwhetting is so effective in group content.
