I think this is less a factor of playing a "support" class and more that RFD is a "perfect storm" of Warlock unkindness, especially with a somewhat overlevelled group.I know I was with Eth on the BRD run when you were Da Man and really, everyone else just was support for Pavis. It was a blast. =)

I really do have to agree with this, especially the more raiding I do. Basically, the tank and healer perform the same role - keeping the DPS monkeys alive. It's better if your tank can do DPS monkey stuff too, but after seeing how all our DPS classes did with the general after all the healers and tanks went down, it just reinforces the idea of us being support for them. This doesn't mean the DPS monkeys can do whatever they want though because they are the wheel of the group compared to the lynchpin of the tanks and healers. They still have the responsibility of controlling their own aggro for the good of the group.
Intolerant monkey.
