If the tank is okay with it, then it's fine (if a tank doesn't want a Topaz carbuncle out, it's usually best to keep it away), but there are alternatives - for example, in Satasha, it may be easier to have a ranged DD keep an eye on the grates and interact with them whenever the water starts to bubble. I was in a group where both DDs were ranged, so those two and the healer spread out to three of the four grates while I held the boss in the middle. One DD had to keep an eye on two grates, but otherwise, the run was phenomenal.

However, that situation depends on the preference of the party members as well as the classes involved. Obviously if the DDs that were in my party were melee DDs, it would have been much harder to have them keep an eye on the grates. At the end of it all, I suppose it comes down to the situation - there's more than one "right" way to do it.
