tanks not using cooldowns?

[Galgarion]

mostly on mobs. On hard hitting mobs I remind them and only some use them afterwards (most I've seen use them and forget). I even got yelled at for asking while trying to do Holy spam. He told me to heal better and proceeded to slow the run down by stopping and waiting awhile before each pull. Is there something i'm missing or? I've nonstop have been getting this on expert and lower level'd dungeons. I get that expert is a joke when it comes to damage, but if you aren't stance dancing then thats somewhat lazy.

they are going through whole dungeons not using them.

I dislike most duty finder tanks. They're not receptive to constructive, politely worded critiques, they don't use good judgement, and their situational awareness is often poor. The solution is to become a tank yourself and never deal with their ilk again. Want to be a big man in your free company? Popular with strangers? Want to get your daily dungeons knocked out of the way at a pace of your choosing? Want to get a group for the most popular content at a speed that'll make you say "wuuuuuut?" Choose the path of the meat shield. Jooooooin us.

warrior is my secondary so it does work out when the times call for it lol. Usually using it when queue times for healers are too long (which they have been lately). But yeah DF tanks can be interesting. Pulling everything, not popping cooldowns, and yelling at healers when they die I guess is the new meta from what i've heard from some people.

Then you get to deal with bad DPS and can't compensate much for it anymore with the recent nerfs.

The only thing worse than a tank that doesn't pop cooldowns is 2 DPS who have no clue what they're doing.

This is the main reason I play DPS over a Tank in FFXIV. Most content can be cleared with a terrible tank and often quickly. Bad dps will either slow content way down or make it impossible.

Tanks not using Cooldowns on trash annoy me as much as ranged dps not using LBs on trash. Very few bosses in dungeons do anything really dangerous to the tank but large groups of little critters is pretty deadly and the most common reason for wipes in my experience.

Then you have to deal with the idiot DPS who only use their damage combo, and never apply any debuffs / dots, or who run away from any wide AoE instead of stunning and carrying on with DPS.
