Tanking can only be learned by going with a group that trusts you in keeping them out of harms way.
The only thing DDs learn in dungeons, not to overextend. Well what they SHOULD learn I mean.
Agreed, fates are terrible learning places for healers and tanks (Medica spam, anyone?)

I'm usually that tank that keeps the adds off the healers in boss fates, unless of course there's some trigger happy bard training to be an athlete tanking the boss, then I'll try and grab that instead.

Kiting a boss (I'm looking at you, Bards) is very VERY irritating for any melee classes, if you can't tank it, don't take it.
