    This annoys the hell out of me even as dps. Tank seems to stay in the one spot and as i am casting, freaking tank takes off.. That rattles me, lol

    I actually used to do that (ran off just before the mobs had died, thinking they would die before I got to the next pack, for a "rolling rotation" as I call it). Someone explained to me why that's a bad idea with a BLM, because of how they're essentially a turret. I apologised and learned from it. I no longer do that. Though sometimes right before the last mob has died I will stun it (if it hasn't got any stun resistance from things like Holy spam), leaving the DPS with 6 seconds to kill it while I go off and move towards the next pack of mobs. So far, I haven't been advised against that. If it turns out it is a bad idea and someone explains to me, then yes, I'll stop doing it.

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    That's the time I type "Tanks for the memory" and leave them to it. Tends not to happen again.
