Tanks that don't know dungeon/boss mechanics, tanks that aren't very familiar with tanking, tanks that don't understand emnity, tanks that are simply less skilled than most average players, tanks that have difficulty target switching, and many many more. It IS YOUR job as a healer and a DPS to support your tank and to follow their lead. When you get tanks that are comfortable with the speedrun mentality, then awesome, go nuts. But if they are not, be patient. Losing your stacks between mobs or the dungeon taking 10 minutes longer than normal is not going to hurt you any. It is very, VERY rare that I let a DPS or healer purposefully die while I'm tanking, but I absolutely will if they are being toxic and trying to push faster than what I am comfortable with.
