If pulling it 2-3 seconds before you saves this buff. It's worth it for you and the group. And the dps is most likely not doing this to spite you. More like they believe in your skills to get it off them so they can DPS. Trust me, is DPS who have positionals, if we have hate we can't use them and then we're losing dps.

So they definitely want you to still tank they just also want to keep up their buff.
Yep! My main DPS is a monk, so I know the feeling (it's why I can't stand the aforementioned Pokey Little Puppy tanks). When I tank I always try to keep the ball rolling, the pauses between pulls to a minimum. Nearly all those shenanigans I went through were in a situation where it wasn't needed ie. Mr. DPSer had to go out of his way to pull extras, or even detrimental (doing the Fandango because of all the AoE going out and/or getting excess damage. Healer can't be liking that). Something like that is a big technical foul in my book.
