Just because you run to the mobs first just to get smacked around in the face does not make you de facto pace maker of the party.
If as a healer I start popping sprint and run to the first pack of mob, sure the tank will get the message, but 1/ he will probably not appreciate it 2/ I might die
So the tank is clearly the best suited role for setting up the pace of the run.
Even in raids, I would say 80-90% of the time, a tank sets the countdown (and unless there is a fail, they are the ones doing the first hit)
So I don't really get the issue there.

And again, as mentioned in my previous message, using common sense does help. If on the first pull you die, you might want to avoid another WtW.
But that's pretty obvious.

And if in most of your parties people have a discussion from the get go on how the run will be, then lucky you.
On the 2 servers (JP and EU) I played, there is very little of conversation aside of "hello" and "good job" in dungeons / daily roulette.
