How do you deal with sluggish tanks?

I just pull extra garbage if they won't. I mean what's he gonna do? Tank it?

You're probably going to die if you do it on a party with me healing and will get kicked afterwards. DPS are quite dispendable, y'know.

Everyone's pretty expendable. Who's harder to replace is a pretty weak reason to kick or not kick someone though.

Kinda tired of the tanks-and-healers-call-the-shots-because-q-times rhetoric. If the only way you can justify your importance is because you're better than an empty spot, then you can try harder.

And that should bother me why? I dodge a bad party & lockout, looking at ~5 minutes for my next queue. Meanwhile you get a weaker DPS who probably doesn't even have access to raid gear.

It seems like kicking you makes everybody happy then. Sluggish tanks prefer dps that are able to follow numbers and without the raid gear their job gets even easier. Win-win situation.

In pulls of 4+ DPS should be using AoE attacks, which will result in lower enmity generated on every mob per GCD. The large majority of pulls from Vault and onward will force you to take 4 or more enemies at a minimum. If a tank is still numbering at that point they've got much bigger issues than a DPS slapping dragons or puks 5 yalms out. Mediocrity should not be celebrated.
