What would prolly help the group, is if the tank gave a quick heads up at the start. Something like ‘hey first run of the day, need to warm up’ or ‘haven’t tanked in a while, need to remember the flow’. Just something to set the expectation. Could be difficult if they play with a controller to type all that, but slow tanks shouldn’t see others leaving as their fault, there are plenty of DPS willing to go slower for a clear.

New/learning tanks can always try and make friends with a healer to run too. Let them have the confidence to try bigger pulls and the room to mess up, knowing their healer pal has their back.
Being so for real right now, I'd rather have single pulls, than W2W that just results in death 4 times over. But you are not wrong, communication goes a long way. Just sometimes even as an experienced player I genuinely do not know what to say to these people without coming across as nitpicky or a-hole. On main I genuinely shut my mouth until asked, because I know the reputation Mentors have. On my alt, which is a "Sprout" I'm like um... How do I say this nicely, I've resorted to just shutting up but when you're sitting in the room with the newbie who is getting frustrated, I dunno.
