Confessions of a Human Nerve Ending

Okay, Healing is the hardest part of WOW, but in my running instances at 80 I've run into some problems in all the roles. If you are lucky to get into a group as a DPS, you prolly don't really need to worry about much unless your healer and tank suck. Having done both and sucked as both, I know what they look like. If your tank can't hold aggro and keep the mobs off you, then your tank sucks. Some fights its unavoidable that a mob will aggro you, but does your dps respond fast enough to get them off you?

I can now say healing is by far the hardest job. Tomorrow....I'll post more in depth about my learning to stop being a spell caster and becoming a healer.
