If you arent confident in your ability to handle large pulls (within reason) then I'd suggest making that known at the beginning of the party beforehand.

Ultimately should a wipe occur, I'm of the mindset that both healer and tank share the blame as either could have expressed their preference in the beginning.
I don't think anyone should assume either way but they do. Just like the new person message, they don't call out who it is to give that person a little breathing room. It's called courtesy, and it would be nice if more people expressed it. It wouldn't kill a tank to ask since big pulls are the exception in my opinion not a new healer.
