    Was it that tank that insisted on big pulls or your FC-mates?
    If FC-mates, they're the ones at fault for the wipes.
    While I hate spiritbonders in duties myself, I don't say anything as long as they do their job.

    They could have ended up with a tank that barely was able to enter iLevel wise too. Such a tank wouldn't hold aggro against dps that vastly outgear the tank in that case, which means the dps have to learn to hold back when necessary too.

    The tanks were the ones that insisted on macho pulls, trying to play as if they were wearing their ilvl100 sets. They were nasty arrogant tanks who eventually rage quit calling the rest of the party a bunch of stoopid noobs. Granted, they were not likely representative of spirit-bonding tanks in general.

    EDIT: I personally am annoyed by spirit bonders who like to do their thing through DF (talking full sets, not a piece here or there). Doing SB groups through PF or with FC/LS mates seems more considerate). But again, to me this is hypothetical as I haven't actually encountered it since CT days.
