Sometimes taking a hardline stance is needed too. However many players have this ME attitude about how they want it to be and/or the "meta" shoe horned into every experience.
    As a Tank, I expect every healers to at least pull their weight in HW & SB content, and be more careful in the lower level dungeons. The "me attitude" that I have has been forged through more than 500 duties worth of field experience and it's rare to find a healer that's truly in trouble; and if they do, I can always adjust myself to the healer's capabilities. Point is, just don't blame every tanks for playing the way they want, especially experienced and seasoned players who knows what to do.

    "Pull like insane monkeys" when the tank waits / asks for Protect, doesn't pull too many, and they have good gear and good use of CDs, they expect you to pull your weight, and make sure you're not being lazy. But when an undergeared tank and / or tank who doesn't use mitigation CDs appear and does this "pull like insane monkeys", then you have all the right to scold him / her good.

    Sometimes tanks pull too fast because they're afraid the dps or healer will pull for them. I've seen many dps in particular do this, either because they are impatient to get through the dungeon they were in queue so long for that they actually forgot they were in queue, or because they have tank class leveled and think they know what their tank can and can't handle better than they do. There isn't really a simple answer, but successful communication is the best way to know what to expect from each other.

    That one has an easy answer. Everyone else back off and let them die. They'll figure it out eventually.
