Couple of things:

First, as mentioned in other posts, dps will sometimes pull mobs. The "let them die" method doesn't work when the healer might decide to heal the dps and then you have no choice.

Second is that people can actually dismiss you from the dungeon for refusing to speed run. Since two votes is majority in 4 men content, all it takes is the 2 dps to vote yes and you are out. Sure, now they will have to wait a good 5-10min for a new tank to join while the tank can get into another instance instantly. But if you get the boot right before the last boss as I've heard stories about, you just wasted 30min for nothing.

So running as a tank does not altogether solve this issue.
