Why can't you resurrect in a dungeon?

It doesn't make sense that you can't use soul summons, or a gem, if you died during a boss fight. You have to wait for teammate to rez you. If you have the skill or the gems, you should be able to rez anytime, anywhere (except in Cyrodiil, of course).

But then boss fights would be so easy. what would the challenge be?

Because death would be meaningless then and you could just zerg rush as long as you have soul gems.
Dont forget that in solo content like main quest, you cant actually resurrect on combat, the combat resets after your death, and the mobs you havent killed return to 100% hp. In group content they reset only if the whole group dies, which is fair, and your group has a chance to recover.

The intention is for you all to work together well enough that nobody dies. It somebody does die, the entire team gets punished by being a man down, then 2 men down while the rezzing happens. I think this is an appropriate mechanic.
