Wish I'd been able to follow this thread thoroughly.

In any case, I haven't had this issue much since I started as a GLA in sept '13, but I've heard about it a lot. First thing, if DPS pulls then DPS dies, it's not a power thing it's a "let me play the effin' game" thing. There is a massive learning curve for new tanks. GLAs build stupidly low aggro in the first couple dungeons. Getting into Tam Tara before hitting 26 can be rough and I've seen several gladiators almost quit at that point, one of which became our solo tank for my T9 static--one who did such a good job that my static got annoyed whenever we ran with another tank. So maybe instead of destroying the game for someone, you can wait 3 seconds while someone learns. Have a problem with new tanks? Gtfo of DF which, via MSQ, encourages newbies to use it.

On the flip side I do get annoyed if a tank is being brutally slow because its inconsiderate. Stopping and standing around before every pull is rude and uncalled for. You're the tank not the party leader, you should be trying to keep the dungeon moving, and while I still don't condone pulling before the tank, if you want people to respect you and let you do your job, then you need to be respectful of their time and be doing your job, not standing around without explaining yourself.
