I was thinking more along the lines of new tanks in low level dungeons lol.

When it comes to high level tanking, I'm willing to at least try to point out their mistakes, but I typically know that it's a lost cause. 60 lvl's of bad habits and a bad attitude to go along with it is not something anyone can fix in a single run, and there is a special breed of bad habits that are taught to tanks at level cap and perpetuated by the community that are difficult to get people over.

One example that we're all (probably) familiar with is speed pulling MASSIVE groups of mobs even when the party can't handle it. I wish I could say that it's purely a Tank issue, but a lot of tanks are actively encouraged to do it by d***head Dps who run off on their own because they don't think the Tank is going fast enough, regardless of how fast or slow things are actually dying. I can't count how many Dps I've seen in dungeons who have run off ahead before the current mob is even dead. They somehow think the tank is too slow... yet they haven't even finished killing what the tank pulled. Sometimes you get one or two who have the gall to inform the tank that they can pull bigger, as if that will make things go faster. Newsflash, if the Dps are slow as turtles then it doesn't matter how big the pull is. Sadly, I get the impression that a lot of Tanks are sucked into this "race to the finish" mentality and form some seriously bad habits.
