If someone steps up and keeps aggro steadily, particularly the bosses, then it's fine to step out and turn off Defiance/turn on Sword Oath and just whack things, but be ready to switch back into tank mode if that one dies.
Pretty much how I operate since I'm the most geared tank my WoD 9 times out of 10. It's pretty much the only way I've found to actually tank in WoD because any time I try to take a few seconds to clarify roles, a DPS will almost instantly shout "Just pull already!" because they're too impatient to wait 10 seconds to avoid a wipe.
