I don't think that is just me dude.

And hate to break it to you, but I really do know how to play my class. I have learned by reading and asking my questions from other tanks, and of course my 10 years of experience of being a tank. I have played as a DPS in Instances, and truly, if a tank doesn't mark, I take target off the tank. Not that hard of a concept, but that eludes a good portion of DPS. Even when I mark, I get a BLM or BRD, or SMN, Goon, Monk, that will be hitting Target 3 and will complain when he grabs it off me. How is that MY Fault as you suggest? I dont see how others failing to read, or even take a second to verify targets, as MY Fault? Explain that concept to me again. How is it MY Fault when I get people who complain that I won't speed run just because I am a Relic +1 tank in mostly Coil/Myth gear? How is it MY Fault when queuing up in a low-level roulette and some guy thinks that just because of my gear, I can handle every single mob from the start of the instance to the boss? I am not pulling those mobs, one of the DPS is. How is that my fault? How is it my fault that some BLM will stand in AoE, not cast a spell, and do NOTHING the entire instance my fault? Healers who AFK heal, how is that MY Fault?

Explain that concept.
