Everyone has access to marking, it is not a tank-specific ability. Therefore, it is not inherently part of their job. It has come to be seen as something tanks do as de facto "leaders" of a party, but tanks can follow marks just as blindly as DPS can. I have run dungeons where a DPS did all the marking and it went just as smoothly, if not more, since they were following their own marks.

I forgot about BLM aoe sleep at that level, and it's totally possible the tank didn't know that is a BLM trait (I didn't until I actually leveled a BLM). I don't see why you're refusing his request based on artificially enforced guidelines that no one actually needs to follow i.e. tanks and only tanks mark.
