Glossary: Common WoW Terms for Outsiders - Dungeons

     The dungeon is the lowest level of player-versus-environment (PvE) content in World of Warcraft.  The narratives of many zones culminate in one or more dungeons requiring a team of five players.  The monsters in these dungeons are more powerful than those outside, and the boss fights require a level of coordination between players that goes beyond standard fights.  Dungeon groups are comprised of the tank, who ensures that enemies attack him or her to keep the rest of the group safe, the healer, who uses restorative spells to keep the group alive, and the three damage dealers who burn down enemy health bars.
