Don't stand in stupid.

Because you didn't have a mixed option I haven't selected anything. So here's a few tips:

Tanks

Remember your taunt. Their is one in the Sword & Shield tree, the Undaunted tree, and I think Ice Staffs give a taunt.
Remember you buffs and debuffs. Your goal isn't to deal damage, but to weaken and strengthen you own team.
Keep your team alive, make the enemy put red AWAY from the group. That way even an absent minded DPS/Healer won't die in 1/2 hit(s) (though sometimes it's unavoidable, in that case don't feel bad).

DPS

Keep up your DoTs (damage over time(s).
Stay out of the red, stupid.
Remember to block. The tank should be keeping most (if not all) the mobs taunted, but sometimes 1 or two get past them.
Don't just repeat your spammable if you've lost your own buffs, rebuff and then go back on the offensive.
A good way to organise your bar is to have 2 buffs/debuffs, 1 AoE (Area of Effect), 1 DoT, and 1 Spammable on both bars.
Potentially the most important role when it comes to spellweaving. It's challenging to do but once done you'll notice a big improvement.

Healer

You don't always need 1 burst heal, a cheaper HoT (Heal over Time) is more often than not more useful (I'm looking at you BoL spammers).
Stay out of the red, stupid.
Remember to buff your team, or more importantly health buffs. Use abilities that don't just heal, but some give resources back too.
Don't just repeat your spammable, keep your eye on your teams health and who needs the heal and re-buff.

Advice for anyone: Start off with dungeons that have an "I" after their name. Like "Fungal Grotto I", as these dungeons are MUCH easier than dungeons without an "I" and dungeons with "II".
