    2. Applying a slow to potentially multiple mobs, again free mit.
    3. Saving you the use of a cooldown by popping their arms length, meaning you will have it for the next pull if needed (assuming your party is killing at decent speeds of course).
    4. Popping a party-wide HoT, which is free healing for you.

    The tank literally has to sneeze at enemies to pick them up. The tank has an extremely easy job in dungeons. Someone else pulling is not some horrible rude thing that's the end of the world. The tank literally only exists to soak damage and enable large pulls. They are otherwise unneeded in most dungeons. And like someone else said already, if someone's getting ahead of you, as the tank, you're probably going too slow anyways.
    I just want to highlight how you're contradicting yourself. The tank is there to take damage. What are you doing taking it for me, when I take it better? You're not doing me or the healer any favors and you may as well be playing the tank if you so desperately want to take damage. You're messing with my flow, plain and simple.

    We already had this discussion that I wasn't going too slow. We agreed on the number of GCDs required to secure aggro. People are just impatient. Too slow? You believe 3 seconds in a 90 minute lockout zone is too slow, but you also believe 3 seconds is also as much as is needed to secure aggro.

    Are you high right now? Do you need to lay down?
