It might be any number of things. Maybe you as a tank picked an illogical target to focus. I have no idea which levels your talking about here but to use quarn as an example.

If you've pulled a bat a skele and a bee and you're attacking the bat then bad choice. You'll most likely find the fps will focus the bee down first because final sting can be pretty nasty and ideally wants to be dead before it gets used.

Other dungeons you have packs where one mob may be a caster and drop aoes on the party while the rest of the pack might be physical orientated. So once again many dps will focus the caster while you're attacking something else to eliminate it's telegraphs and make the rest of the pack easier to deal with with less dodging required.

You'll also often find caster dps focus on whatever has the most hp because it's quite annoying when a mob dies mid cast and interrupts your spell.

And also some jobs like brd/smn will put dots up on multiple enemies rather than focus one down.

There's many reasons then the dps might not follow ypur targets.
