I remember to this day all the crap I got as a WHM in XI because so often the tank charged in before everyone was ready and blamed me for not healing through it. I felt very much abused as a main healer and since then I never touched a similar class again. I'm thinking of trying healer classes again this time, but I hope to not come into the same type of toxic situation.
This gave me a giggle, so many moments like this as a healer with the tank running ahead and bulldozing face first into a pile of elite mobs when I had already said "Out of mana." And all I hear is "OMG Why aren't you healing me n00b, I died!" I solved the problem by just healing people I know: Guild members, friends, my brother or anyone else who I knew and knew me. Suddenly no more rushing tank problems.
Funny enough, toxicity continued in a different form directed at my personal tanks now. So my tanks would stop when they saw me out of mana and let me drink my mana-water while a lot of the DPS players start screaming OMG TANK GO FASTERRRRR. FASTERRRRRR. And my tank has to constantly point out the obvious that I am still drinking and recovering. Or I even have to point it out too because they don't care what the tank says.
