Lunch with Melvin... he has expanded his general attitude towards tanking to include the provision that healers that pull aggro offa a tank must be doing something wrong...
"why can't they watch omen like everyone else?"
He's currently grinding CE rep for earthwarden. He invited me to join him... I ask, "SV?" he responds... "heroics."
I point out that I could just buy the coilfang armaments, skip the repair bill, and come out ahead.
He really is having a hard time understanding that the point of a tank isn't damage, it's threat. I kinda used Arms & Fury as an example...
Lookit Herk... he generates so much aggro, after he dies, the mobs spend 3 seconds kicking his corpse...
I dunno... its killing him to suck so much. He was so proud of the mage, just spamming scorch and watching omen, and believing that this was skill...

Okay, I have to admit that when you said Melvin's philosophy towards DPSers pulling aggro was to let them die, I basically agreed with him. The caveat there is that there's a big difference between pulling off of a good tank who is likely doing everything he can to hold aggro and look out for the group, and pulling off someone who is totally incompetent.
But healers - healers you guard with your life, and take their deaths as personal failures. Imho, healers don't really need Omen, because the ultimate purpose of Omen is to prevent a wipe. If a healer stops healing to avoid aggro, that wipe's just coming all the quicker.

Okay, the one before that was Chris Isaak (I had to Google, but I actually only Googled "no one can save me but you" - I remembered the line, but couldn't place it into a song). Before that was John Mayer, who I don't care for.
"Let's dance!" could be a lot of stuff, I guess...Panic At The Disco?
Crap, I hit Preview on the post where I started having fun identifying the sources of your blog subjects. I was going in reverse chronological order:
The Cure
Henry Rollins
dunno
Chamillionaire - who rocks, it's pretty awesome you've got something from one of his songs up there. I'm biased, I'm from Houston. ;)
Fedaykin98
Let's Dance... isn't that a song by David Bowie?
