I pull pretty quickly, just because I'm very experienced but every now and then I get some ego driven maniac who thinks it's a great idea to choose which order I do things. NOPE!

To that, and I mean to the really bad ones, "You spank it [first], you tank it!" --- Stone Vigil comes to mind the most. You just can't pull but so much and be able to compensate for the incoming damage. AV, always the first room... the rest is cake.

In another view: I've add some really attentive folks go and grab mobs and tote them over to me, and I'll flash or whatever and we go on our merry way.

I get more stressed out DPS'ing than I do tanking. Color me weird.
