    Tank's job is to tank. The irony. Pulling can be done by anyone. If someone pulls before you, accidentally or not, your job is to get aggro asap and tank it. It's so easy to get aggro right now, it's not even funny. There shouldn't be pretty much any case where someone is pulling before you, because you should be ahead of everyone else as a tank.
    If your ego can't handle someone else pulling adds for you - maybe it's time to switch class. Refusing to take aggro of someone else is refusing to do your job as a tank. So called "teaching a lesson" is considered as griefing and is reportable, so make sure you keep that in mind if the idea of becoming a "teacher" ever comes to you.
    It's the tanks job to pull because the tank is the only one that will survive the result of pulling, and the tanks CDs that will often determine what kind of pull can be reasonably healed through in lower level content. It's not some weird coincidence that tanks go first and pull in every trinity based MMORPG; pulling is absolutely their job.

    And also, not picking up the adds right away isn't any more against the ToS than DPS pulling. Both can be considered griefing based on intent, and in both cases there's no way to prove intent. If the tank is a little slow on the trigger and the DPS eats a round or 2 of autos and dies before all the adds get picked up, then that's just what happened. Good luck reporting that and proving it was malicious.
