I was tanking. You weren't healing. You are bad, Sigg-Azshara.

The problem: Today I got thrown into a HoR run that had one boss already down. This means that the people in it had indubitably failed. Usually the blame is put on the tank, and obviously this was the case because I was now in the group. I decided to grit my teeth and tank the dungeon, which I did marvelously until the last ice wall. Actually, I tanked that "pull" marvelously as well...the only problem was the healer decided that keeping the tank alive was below running to the very end of the dungeon on his list of priorities. At first I thought the healer just knew a trick to being able to complete the instance without having to kill the last wave, but that was not the case. Because he was from Azshara, I said, "You can send the 8g for my repair bill to Drsaget." The response was "ok but it wasn't my fault, nobody tanks them there." Hmm......I am somebody....I was tanking them there....therefore, that statement is false. As the healer had two other friends from Azshara in the group, I was kicked. Awesome. It's no wonder this healer, named Sigg, was part of a guild of which I had never heard, Big Floppy Crits. I decided to confront him on Drsaget and of course I was ignored. An ignore is as good as saying, "You were right, I was wrong" in my book. Upon further inspection of Sigg, he is indeed a M&S. His welfare 232s aren't gemmed or enchanted properly, he has a dps trinket, and his professions are 233 engineering and 300 mining. He and his moron friends had most likely queued specifically for that dungeon so they could get some phat lootz to pwn Aruthz. Mission accomplished.

The solution: This heroic is yet another example of how bad players fail to comprehend that the tank is the leader of the heroic. The tank chooses where mobs are positioned. It is the healer's job to stay within range of the tank and, I don't know, heal. Failing to do such will almost always result in a wipe, as it did in this case. A bad pull has a chance at success as long as the tank has aggro and is being healed. Any pull without heals has a much smaller chance at success. My positioning did not prevent the healer from healing, thus there should have been no reason for me not to have been receiving heals. I hope Sigg realized this, but I'm not holding my breath. It's funny, though, he seems to have completed the first wing of ICC on 25 man but not 10 man. Cough carried cough.

I also find if very odd how ranged dps and healers like to stand as far away from the tank as possible, then run even further away when mobs are chasing them. I believe it is just because of human instinct to stay as far away from damage as possible then run away in the opposite direction when you are being chased. At any rate, if I ever make a healer or ranged dps (excluding hunter) you will find me standing right on top of consecrate or death and decay.
