To be frank, tanks and healers in this game often have gigantic egos and think and think that they're infinitely more important than DPS. As a tank who actually understands how the game works, any content below EX/savage/ultimate you should be instantly pulling things the moment you can, barring an extreme case like someone is DC'd (and even then if it's a dungeon boss and you're a WAR with a DC'd healer, pull it regardless. You don't need a healer for bosses). If that means that the DPS hits the boss 0.7 seconds before you do as a tank, big whoop. This is especially true for certain jobs that may have buffs about to fall off depending on how long the run between the last trash pack and the boss took (eg. SAM, BRD, DNC, RDM).
