Well... Dominate does by definition imply a level of control and influence which arguably tanks have a great deal of responsibility here in terms of pacing, so the stance doesn't preclude consideration for new or anxious players, contrary to what you may believe.

I don't think it's that bad of a stance to have if you're a precautionary player that wants to avoid wipes, though this is generally something you can establish within the first couple of pulls prior to the first boss. Call it contrarianism or whatever, but I think tanks set the pace for pulling. If I feel like the pace is up to par for larger pulls then I'll recommend it, otherwise I won't delve in it further.
