Let me do my job please...

And the dps police comes in who has the easiest and most replaceable job in the game, tank asked to not pull before him the dps do and the tank is wrong? I agree with the OP 5second rule has been in mmo's forever it seems to be lost in this game. DPS learn to respect the tank and the healers you guys make up more then half the game you should be thankful that a tank is tanking for you and not some one else.

I've always thought it was stupid that people have this power trip when they play a healer or a tank. The stupid idea of "you tank it you pull" shouldn't be something you hold against your party. So what if they pull? You can basically take aggro off them with a single button press.

They were right in that you weren't doing your job out of spite. Adapt to the situation rather than be stubborn and have everything be required to fall into your perfect plan.
Sorry to be blunt, but if you can't adapt, you have no business being a tank, let alone being a good player altogether.

I liked your post so i can unlike it, if i make a request and you deny that request and i act apon what i have said earlier and i'm the wrong one here? Maybe the DPS should have adapted instead of just facerolling on the keyboard.
