My experience as a DPS and my issue with tanks

[LolitaBansheeMeru]

Well when I tank i admitly do that before the 1st boss but I do it to test the healer to see if they can handle doing 2+ groups pulled and to warm up after I get a feel for how the party is going I'll pull more or less depending on my judgement of them I know this might sound jerky but ~_~ ya

I don't believe what the OP says applies to you, your style is fine. I think it's indecisive tanks that grab 2-3 mobs and then running off after the DPS blew thier load all over the mobs and are all tired out with nothing else for the next pack. This is different from waiting to get 2 AOEs off to make sure aggro is established while on the go and test pulls where you're not gonna run off while things still aren't dead.

As for me, I just pull everything, even trying out some interesting pulls that feel/look safe to do.
