I've actually off tanked as a marauder in a couple of flash points. It's not easy and the healer was incredible but it does happen.

But I will say this, I have been in groups where the "tank" is either new (no fault of their own, of course, because they are still learning) or afraid to get hit or start the encounter (yeah, I know, right?!) so everyone kinda stands there looking at the mobs. At that point, yeah, I force jump and get **** started. Of course, I've been playing since beta and have subbed since day 1 so I know the fights and the classes well now.

If I have a good and knowledgeable tank, then I take care of what my position in the group should be...which includes keeping **** off the healer. Now THAT is something I don't see my fellow DPS classes doing enough of.

Agreed. While diluting the "You're DPS; don't @#%&ing pull stuff!" rule with exceptions is probably unwise when teaching players, I'd hope sensible DPS would realise that if the tank is obviously *busy* and the healer's taking flak, you rescue the healer, preferably by killing the flak-givers, but, if you end up getting aggro, still, better you than the healer.

I'm sure it's quite easy 1) in Tacticals or 2) when over-leveled.

OPs aside (I'm not that crazy), It's not much of a stretch with the plethora of defensive cooldowns that a sent can't make a decent fake tank.

So now you've eliminated Ops as a place Sentinels and Marauders can tank. How many more "except fors" are we waiting for?
