Since when was it the Tanks job to explain fights?

TBH, it should be up to any player to read a guide or watch a video of the dungeon first to see what they are up against. Just blindly que'ing for something you just unlocked right away without taking the time to watch a little video or guide is wasting everybody else's time because they have to sit there and type everything out about the fights, etc, just for you, because you were lazy.

Yeah, damn newbies demanding we take a whole ten seconds out of our runs to type in a few words of instruction.... Such rude.

No, just no.
Taking away the feeling of "doing it for the first time, just like the people who arrived there first" is TERRIBLE!
Sure, in hard content, unless you are "world's first", you should read up on it/watch a guide. But 4-man content? Story stuff?
JUST NO! Stop expecting that people will spoil themselves just that the run can finish 5 minutes quicker! (which is about how much a wipe will cost you in most cases)

Since every mmorpg ever. If you want to tank then you have to get used to being the leader. If you don't, well people just won't like you as a tank. That is just another reason good tanks are few and far between.

I always play tanks in MMOs and have rarely seen such stupidity such as expecting someone to spend their time teaching easy classes/jobs how to do dungeons.

Teaching mechanics isn't base on what job/class you are....its based on the players experience of said mechanics and their willingness to explain it to others.

If you all really feel that every tank should be a master of all dungeons/raids then the devs need to make tanks a special job/class that gets more incentives for putting up with lazy players who don't contribute.

Pfffft. "The community."

The community says: Tanks are the leaders of the group, so we should listen to them.

Tanks act like leaders. New threads are launched declaring that tanks are power tripping ego maniacs.

The community says: "There aren't enough tanks in duty finder."

People new to tanking decide to give it a try and are promptly torn down and humiliated by impatient and unpleasant groups who don't like letting people learn. Most of the newbies quit, and the ones that remain get REAL MEAN. New threads are launched promptly declaring that tanks are meanie jerk head nasties, waaah.

The community is your hot girlfriend who invites you over when her parents are out of town, so you can have a prayer session. The community is chaotic neutral and will kill your brain cells faster than a paint stripper martini.

There's a difference between a leader and an entitled asshole telling you what to do. I haven't seen anyone making threads complaining about leaders. Seen a number complaining about entitled assholes telling them what to do.

I don't understand why people feel the need to be babied so much outside of actual hard raids and EX's especially in Steps of Faith as it was heavily nerfed, if the group was half decent you could of simply ignored everything lol.
