I am the tank; that's why I have so little sympathy for the types of petulant losers who are willing to grief their entire party to get revenge on one player, all the while wasting everyone's time by playing incompetently and pulling one mob at a time. In my general experience, the types of players that behave this way are the kind of people that are constantly looking for things to be angry and outraged about.
TBH the only time I generally go with letting someone else tank a mob as a tank is when doing long pulls, one of the DPS goes full burst on 1 of the enemies drawing aggro during the pull and they don't bring it to me once I hit the spot chosen to clear everything. Most of the time it's a ranged physical DPS and if they're going to run away from me because something is hitting them, I'm not going to make the effort to chase them down to get it back. More so if the enemies are types that spam various AoEs themselves. Sometimes the healer pulls it off them and brings it to me. Other times I've seen the healer just let that DPS die so the enemy comes back to me on it's own. Duties are essentially a team activity. Some DPS players need to learn there is more to playing the DPS role than push buttons, make numbers pop up.
