I understand that you play this game the way you want, and that's fine by me, but why would I want to party with you when your just going to end up with me working twice as hard? This goes for the mage who decides to try to solo things in KQs and the archer who tries to outdamage everyone and dies to a mob because it attacks him. I think the main problem, especially with the higher level KQs is that clerics are tired of taking all the heat from a massive mob of non healers.

I agree with most of your post, just not this one.
I think a DD warrior is very valuable. Why do you have grudges against DD fighters? They're trading in their defense for more strength, and faster kills. It's their way of playing, and if you don't like having faster kills but more damage taken, then just don't party with them and another cleric will.
Mages who try to solo through KQ, well, I don't have much to say about that. It can be any class, but mage soloing is risky x-x; However, if they're pulling something off the tank, it might be for a good reason.
In KQ as an archer, I will always try to do the most damage I can do. If that means drawing aggro, I'll run and wait for someone else to grab it. I'm not going to not use my skills because of the fear it might draw aggro; I've been lucky in KQs and met lots of great clerics. I don't mind dying, I know it wasn't the cleric's fault, and I know how much I can take and I'll pot/stone if I have to.
In a KQ, everyone should try their best. It doesn't matter if you're a DD fighter or a tanker fighter, you should be in the front lines (or back xD) because you're best there. A mage could take out the extra mobs, and archers even though not the best DD at times, should still do as much damage as they can.
Going back to the topic of clerics, I don't mind clerics that can tank or bash at the mobs as long as they also take care of the party. I just don't like it when they try to tank, fail, and run after the mob when we die @-@;
