At 61 pulling more than two groups will probably end with someone or everyone dead at minimum ilevel.

    Getting level 61 requires beating a level 59 dungeon 2-3 times. And you dont even need to do a dungeon at all to be level 70. You can do HoH, which prioritizes small pulls or no pulls. You can do alliance raids, which seldom have extra monster pulls at all

    And leeching means you are getting more than you are supposed to based on others. Its not leeching if you are working harder, and getting less for it. That is being ineffecient.
    There's a mechanic and guide in every single dungeon you ever tank: your party.

    If you skipped the dungeon process as tank via POTD/HOH, then you haven't done the tanktorial. My suggestion would be to start at Brayflox' longstop, and work your way up until you can handle a dungeon where you're no longer in over your head.

    By "in over your head" I mean "are no longer a detriment to the party."

    Because if a party determines you to be a detriment, they can and eventually will give you a boot. What's expected of a tank increases as you go further into the expansion.

    If you want a cosmetic 70, though, POTD/HOH are great for that. But they don't teach you much you can actually use. They are a false sense of progression.
