You know the whole "Tank is god" think is not helped by certain Tanks who really act like they are god. I think the worst one i encountered i forget the name but i remember it being a lore one and that they are on Balmung. I can only assume they are an endgamer and have done Titan a bunch of times yet expected people who were new to the fight to be as good as them. After two wipes they yelled and rage quit.
I also had this ridiculous fight with a Tank and what i can only assume was his Girlfriend who is a DPS and kept butting in when i was trying to explain things in Brayflox. When i first entered she mouthed off about how the last healer couldn't heal so i knew exactly what was coming.
I always think that the Tank and Healer should have good communication the best runs i've had are when i'm really getting along with the Tank and we are looking after each other. For a new Dungeon i'll often follow the Tank and hope they know the route XD. If i know the place though i have no problems taking charge and just telling the Tank how to do mobs and bosses if they are new.
Tank and Healer really have the same base requirement in that you need to have thick skin and be able to work under pressure. It's very stressful when things have not been going well after a couple of wipes and the rage really starts. It's at a point where if i get something wrong i apologise even if nobody got mad XD.
Translation for when you ask why they have been wiping entering a group in progress:
"Tank can't hold aggro" = "We kept stealing mobs and then the healer got aggro from them when healing the tank"
"Healer can't heal" = "We are taking stupid damage and overwhelming the healer who is desperately trying to focus on the tank while chain healing the DPS"
