I have no idea how DRG works but I've had one DRG I respect tell me that the more mobs pulled, the better and more efficient it is for them to kill in things like a Brayflox HM run.
I've seen Titan HM runs where the entire run falls apart because the healer just can't keep it up while all the dps just... are... average or below average players. >.<; A good tank does you no real good if the healer(s) can't keep them up through even tumults. I can't tell you how many Trials roulettes I got into in Titan HM where I actually died to Tumults because the healers were a little subpar... and the dps were a little subpar as well so it just made the fights longer and the tumults hit harder. My PLD ego just drops when I die to tumults. T_T;
I will say though I've had a few Titan HM runs where the tank or either of the tanks just... can't keep hate. I'm not sure if it's because WARs just have -that- hard of a time keeping Titan's hate but a running Titan is not a fun Titan. Especially when you're a glass cannon like BLM is. Glassy yo.
It does sometimes annoy me to see a healer who has a large MP pool and just sits there waiting for a tank to take damage instead of doing something like a few DoTs, aeros, or stones. But I don't begrudge them when it's pretty obvious that they're more worried about healing than just keeping people topped off and making the run as efficient and expedient as can be.
...I also don't begrudge SCH who just go on /follow through the low levels. If they can do DoTs and others that'd be wonderful but at the low levels I just don't expect much. Healers' main job is to heal and to do others is just extra bacon on the gravy.
