As a DPS and healer I like to PUSH the tank (usually on a trash mob with lots of HP). This has been true in every MMO I've played.

1) I need to know what it takes for me to pull hate, so I won't do it on accident or at the worst possible time.
2) I don't want my tank to get complacent.
3) It keeps things interesting and you see how your party reacts to a situation where everything isn't 100% perfect.


If I'm going to do it more than a couple times a run, or every pull, I'll let the tank know. I'm not going to get mad at him if I die. If he'd prefer me not to pull hate I won't. If he's upset by what I did, I apologize and might explain why I did it.


Also, if I'm CCing eventhough I'm not assigned CC I might just "see what happens" if I don't. I think this is all part of "intelligent tinkering."
