Actually Tanthus was just in the area while we were doing that demonstration. However, I did used to hang with a couple of your guildies.
To answer the question about SCT - the reason why I have it required is because it's a general tool for being able to stay alive longer. If you can see that you're taking damage on your screen, you can take action. Also, it lets you know if you're afflicted with something.. say... Living Bomb or Burning Adrenaline... as well, it lets you know if you're within the area of effect of a targeted AoE spell (for instance Gehennas' Rain of Fire... or some mage's Blizzard) and thus can promptly get your ass out of town.
I put the responsibility on everyone to stay alive... that is, of course, unless you're a tank, then you are solely dependant on heals. Otherwise, if you're DPS and you expect to be healed while you're happily jabbing away through aoe, cleave, and all that other stuff.. well.. it just doesn't work that way.
