DPS have one job and that is to attack, and if they're so inept they can't even focus their attacks on the right monster then I'm not going to cover for them. Terrible DPS get enough of a free pass in this game as it is.
There are many times when I don't want to waste a combo finisher on a mob with low health and so I switch targets. Usually though when I'm attacking a target that the tank isn't, its because I see it as more of a threat. Like Exploding enemies, bee that use final sting or mobs with AOE attacks that I can stun.

For the times that I'm attacking the wrong mob because I'm being tunnel visioned, I try to switch to the Tanks target but the tank, being a responsible player, switches to the target I was just attacking and so the two of us are on different targets again. We both wait to see if the other will switch targets and then we both switch at once. Makes it look like I'm trying to avoid the tank when I'm actually trying to sync up with them.
