Do tanks always rush?

I don't know if I just suck terribly or if I am actually supposed to be able to keep warrior in Snowcloak with 7k HP up, when he pulls ALL the things at the beginning, including those wolf things that hit like trucks.

7K HP in Snowcloak? That WAR is severely under-geared for speed running (I think that's... i80-85 HP). They're either stupid for trying to speed run in the first place or they're easily 'persuaded' by peer pressure (assuming the DPS requested/demanded speed runs).

Another thing, sometimes, its DPS who nearly wipe the Group...Just happened today: After a pretty big Pull was finished off, i´ll take the next Single Mob to regain MP and my Def-CD´s...then one DPS rushed ahead and pulls 2 big Groups...which is not a good Idea if the Tank has almost no MP and no Def-CD´s ready.
Didn´t wipe though, but its pretty annoying to try to regain MP - Flash - Sidestepping AE´s and making sure noone is getting too much Aggro (in a Scenario like that, its mostly the Healer who has the most Aggro)


So for those overeager DPS: If you get a Tank who does large Pulls all the Time and suddenly tanks only a single Mob without pulling more, then there is a Reason for that. Most of the Time its to regain MP and have some Def-CD´s ready for the next big Pull.

In regards to this quoted piece: Let the DPS die. I can't state it enough. The Tanks job is to manage aggro, not for the DPS to tell the tank how much he can manage or control. When I tank, if a DPS pulls mobs to me I will NOT grab their aggro. I will (repeat) pull up a lawnchair and Watch. Them. Die.

Regarding the rest of your post: That's the definition of a tank that actually tanks and observes what the team can handle. Not someone who runs into the fires of hell and expect the healer to keep you alive with a glass of water...

That's a Warrior who pretty much forgot to turn on Defiance lol. Happens alot, especially when crafting before queue pops and you swap to class and forget to turn on Shield Oath or Defiance.
