I think it's interesting that a lot favor DPS. Â And having done a lot of dungeons as both WHM and as DRG I feel like I should be surprised when I receive them on DRG, but it's honestly been pretty consistent across the board. Â I think a lot of folks assume tanks and healers get them all and I don't think this is the case - though I seldom tank.
To throw one more thing out there, it is a minor pet-peeve of mine when there's a run going south and I pull out some epic awesome and somehow keep the run afloat and I'm thinking to myself, "Oh I'm going to get mad commendations after this," and then after the run is over... nothing.
Also a bit of an addendum - when doing the CM or Prae runs for Storyline Roulettes as WHM I almost always give my commendation to the other healer, so long as they're doing a decent job. Â My other pet-peeve is when I get lumped in with another WHM (wat no sch available??) and we're just tripping over each other on buffs and cures and such. Â Since those runs really only require one mildly competent healer, I often change stance and nuke. Â If I see the other healer throwing a lot of nukes and party HP dropping, I figure they came in thinking the same thing and I resort to heals and let them be the pseudo-blm. Â In either case, if I feel we're working well enough in tandem and nobody pulls some super-epic stuff or is otherwise amazingly awesome, I'll give my commendation to the other healer. Â For the 8-man Trials this is not always the case though.
(I do agree that it would be cool if we could give multiple commendations because there are some groups that just have good synergy and it sometimes sucks that you can only give one out. Â I have [seldomly] withheld commendations entirely when a party sucked or was ill-tempered, and wish I could store that one for later use. Â lol)
