Than DPS pulling more mobs is griefing. If you want tanking done a certain way, do it your damn self.

Thats not correct. The group as a whole decides the pace of the dungeon. Pulling extra mobs is not greifing, you pull them to the tank to pick up. This is the social culture of the game.

Yep. If players are pulling for the tank, then quite frankly the tank needs to step up. I never have that issue. That said, I don't think new tanks and/or healers need to be forced into it if they are still learning their job or the content in question. It's something that they usually need to build up to. If they are new, and their fellow players are forcing more on them, then that's not okay.

Even then, all they have to do is to continue aoe'ing and continue using mitigation. Unless the dps is a dummy and doesnt drag the mobs into the tank. It's so funny seeing YPYT babies because they actively have to start griefing to not take the aggro from the extra mobs. As someone said earlier, you tank against 2 mobs the same way you would against 200.

Yes and no. You want to make sure you keep aggro on both, but it normally isn't optimal to keep spamming AoEs when there are only two mobs. Sometimes you want to make use of your single target tools instead. Some abilities will give you less DPS against two mobs than its single target equivalent would against a single mob.

At the end of the day, your job as a tank is fourfold;
1.) obtain and maintain aggro on all mobs
2.) position them optimally
3.) generate as much DPS as your job is capable of producing
4.) stay alive
