How can you tell a bad tank?

These are totally minor complaints compared to the above, but mine is pull uncertainty.

If the tank has been prebuffed with with a shield or similar, the healer is ready. Waiting until Divine Benison wears off, while probably not intentional, is aggravating and a waste of my skills.

For the love of Zodiark, once a tank starts running to the boss like they are going to pull, they really need to pull. Nothing like 3 or 7 other people popping cooldowns and precasting just to have the tank stop, so you cancel, then a second later they go. Please commit.

If a tank wants to pull wall to wall, fantastic, I'm right there and ready. But spending 3 globals on one trash pack, waiting for everyone's aoe to pop underneath, and then running to the next pack--it's a waste of time. All that wasted dps make the second half of the large pull worse because we spent our cooldowns running instead of smacking.

Skittish tanks are the bane of my existence. aka stutter stepping.

Wait until AFTER my adlo wears off to charge in.

This so much. I can deal with not sprinting, no cooldowns, single pulls and whatnot. But standing there wobbling about infront of a boss just drives me utterly spare. Bosses have been the med break part of a dungeon for years now, just go!
