Before, probably 50, you can have hunter/warlock pets tank as long as you have a good healer. I know this from experiance.
well, until you get to ZF you don't actually need any healers tbh. and even in ZF, you only need them for the 1000 troll event. granted you have to be careful, but when leveling my second toon i did almost every instance sans healer just to see if it was possible.
Haha, that reminds me of the run where I tanked this as a holy paladin and got healed by retri paladin:o)
Even BRD can be done if either tank or healer are properly specced, both arent necessary. Those todays tanks with all the enchanted heirloom items are extremely strong, so I suppose you could go even further.

DPS that have the most trying job. ?
what trying to stay awake?
wooooooooo you stand there, and cast some spells or you run behind the boss and 1,2,3
that is really a tough job. zzzzzzzzzzzzz
fail
if the tank can mark and pull correctly most instances become a mechanical run.
If the healer can keep him up and then worry about 4+ sleepers
casting and &*!@#ing about oh I have some damage someone do something I can't deeps right now that last drop was plate and the ever popular ohhhh I am the great dk, I might have to go smoke..where is the auto button.

Woo, you can press charge, thunderclap and Cleave. What do you want, a banana.

Woooo you can watch a bar change colour then trigger a macro. Healers are so awesome.
You can make anything sound trivial in this game. In terms of having the most impact and having the most difficult job, its pretty much always Tank > healer > dps, with some healing intensive fights switching the first 2 around. Dps never have to worry about more then 1.) do dps and 2.) try not to stand in fire.

most people thought trash and adds were the only thing you could use a pally tank to back then -_-Back in my days I got laughed at for saying I'd tank Shadowfang Keep as a Druid ;)

It really depends on the players.
With a very well geared tank the healer has 0 control. Simply because a ToGC25 geared tank can walk through any heroics without healing if he wants to. If the healer isn't needed in a run then he can't have control ;)
If the tank is not so well geared then I'd say the healer. The tank has to wait for healing after all, he can't do anything without the healer, if he tries he dies.

DPS>tank>healer.
Low DPS sucks. Trust me, once you have 3x 4k+ DPS in a heroic tanks becomme a lot les needed except for bosses maybe.
1200spelpower healers can keep tanks up with a renew these days(experienced this on my priest 10minutes after I dinged)
