Im Maining Pld, and im always tanking my CT, ST, WoD whatever. Since im the one with the highes equip (usually) im the MT. Still, i know all the mechanics, and nearly every run im the one explaining the mechanics in the /a chat to all the firsttimers.

If, f.e. i die as a Main tank, and another tanks needs to tank, im more or less a dps in that fight. And i should really know what i ahve to do in that case, dont you think?
Sure, this would be all well and good in full parties, but in dungeons, there are no other tanks. And battles look quite different depending on whether you're a tank, a melee dps, or a ranged dps. If a tank doesn't know everything about the fight, it at least gets the ball rolling for more social people to speak up and fill in the gaps that the tank left out for whatever reason.
