That may seem true, however there are two points to make. Firstly, Hammer Station can be a tough one because depending on your class and level you may or may not have critical abilities that you would get just one level higher. Secondly, you may have had a decently geared and decent healer who couldn't keep up because of poor tanking and not enough dps. I was healing Hammer station a couple nights ago and wiped numerous times on the last boss because no matter what, the tank would not turn the boss around... not at the beginning, no at all. A bad tank will wipe a group and it might look like the healer's fault, low dps can wipe a group and it might look like the healer's fault, you might vote kick him and get an really great geared heals who is high level for the FP and he can cover for a lot of failure on the rest on the group.

Having leveled a Scoundrel heals I am now leveling a Commando heals. One question I have, how was the commando taking so much damage that all of his energy can go to healing himself? Was the tank not taking aggro?

Why all the hate? Simply thus: There is a misbegotten breed of wretches who are deluded in thinking that the highest form of true culture is found in never appreciating anything. These people are so terrified of not seeming refined and "in-the-know," that to express an opinion that is not a criticism is their highest point of vulnerability. You may have had the misfortune of dining with such a creature... every aspect of the meal and service is criticized and picked apart so that not a person at the table can enjoy themselves. They WILL send the steak back three times and then insist on short-changing on the tip, as though the poor waitress had anything to do with preparing their food. They are unhappy, have no confidence and will only try to convince themselves that everyone around them feels as they do by sounding their vitriolic opinions like an unceasing gong. Once I mark these people I will not eat with them, not when it means rudeness and incivility to all around.
