Should one tank in tank stance?

[SargentToughie]

At the end of the day it boils down to this: tanks are not the only people in the party. When they choose to do what they want it affects the rest of the group and often ruins the gaming experience for the rest of the group. My personal opinion is that one player shouldn't have the ability to affect other people's gameplay in such a manner. I often think of tanks as Divas. We've all asked that tank nicely to please stop dropping stance when things aren't going well. 99% of the time it is followed by some horrible comments usually something like do better healer. So my personal opinion will not change on the subject I do not think that one player should have the ability to ruin the experience for everyone else.

Literally any party member can ruin the instanced experience for the rest of the group if they're not up to snuff. Any idea how soul crushing it is being a tank and watching your healer die to avoidable AoE in the first 5 seconds of a boss fight? Or being a tank that has a healer that would prefer just to stand there and idle instead of trying to contribute with a bit of damage, despite us rotating cooldowns and mitigating enough damage that we're never in any real danger? Or being a tank for a healer who thinks their only button in their kit is cure? Those ones are the worst because your health is in a near constant state of flux. Regens and OGCDs are scary, I guess. It's absolutely maddening. Especially since, because healers have basically zero accountability in this game outside of Savage, I can't really try and correct them or provide advice without them getting uppity.

And that doesn't even go into how soul crushing most instances are if your DPS are bad. Spending 45 minutes in an EXR is a pretty clear cut example, to me, of DPS 'ruining' my experience. Everybody can do this, tanks just have a bigger spot light to screw up in when they're not up to standard.
