There's a lot of fun to be had in games. Reading a guide doesn't make you a professional. Similarly, getting matched with someone who knows nothing of his class or role isn't fun for the 3 other people who are stuck with you. If you're queueing as a DPS, that's a good 10+ minute wait that just went to waste because of an incompetent tank.
I recently started partying with a WAR. Went into my first dungeon with only general experience of tanking in various other games. The results were relatively disastrous. I had no idea how to manage my TP and, as a result, found myself running dry when I needed to OP a pack.
Didn't take more than browsing a guide to learn the basics of TP and a few minutes of practice to effectively use it.

tl;dr if being an idiot is fun for you than do it on your own time
