    Also, the healer dying is not always the healer’s fault: it can be the tank’s fault or the fault of some others in the group (i.e. not stacking when needed, tank moving on group at the last second with a tank buster, no mitigation when needed). Some fights are survivable on well geared dps but not all are due to aoe and that’s even when the tank uses appropriate mitigation. Some dps are also more “squishy” than others. Selfish tanks are the worse and end up on my blacklist.

    I am also sure that tanks were not designed for the purpose of soloing an entire synched duty when the group lies dead: it’s more one of those savage/normal mode imbalances that SE does not bother to fix. Btw, on lower level duties tanks do not have this survivability. It started to become a problem with EW and it’s been greatly exacerbated in DT.
