If you're so unsure of your tanking abilities that you feel the need to perform as such, why not spend some time in lower level dungeons and work your way up? That's what I did when I was uncertain of my tanking abilities to ensure I wasn't a drag on others. Perhaps I just have a hyperactive need to not be any sort of a burden on others, but if I felt I wasn't up to snuff of certain expectations I won't touch content until I felt that I was.

I will admit that maybe such a hyperactive need does perhaps give me higher expectations of others than what you all consider reasonable. I wouldn't try to wrest control of a dungeon from someone as that tends to lean towards lessened group cohesion, but after a certain point shouldn't some increased standards be expected to be met? I don't think it's that unreasonable in the slightest to expect a tank in the third expansion of this game, at level 71, to at least be considered experienced.
