I thought Triage was required to advance First Aid. Maybe I just
assumed it.

It was(is? I dunno if the quest is even still around much less still
required), but leveling First Aid is far from mandatory. I did it on my
warlock for achievement purposes(including the 500 FW bandages or w/e it
was), but none of my other characters have leveled it past I dunno, 200 or
so, and several of them I don't think have even learned it at all(the shaman
didn't, don't think the DK did either). Okay, I suppose STV isn't mandatory
either, but locking questing out of a whole zone seems a bit bigger deal to
me than locking out First Aid...

First aid was considered mandatory for grouping and particularly
raiding back in vanilla days, I remember much emphasis on that in my
old guild, people being reminded to skill up their bandages! Ok, not
so necessary if you're a healer (I still found it essential on my
priest in Karazhan in early days to save mana though, bandaging self
in the breaks on Netherspite while letting my mana regen a bit since
everybody else bandaged too!) but still, in older days it was fairly
essential, would say it still is if you play a class which takes much
damage (like a rogue)
