Sure, they don't need to show "sympathy" for someone that pulls eventually for them (in this case, without intending to do it, because an Astrologian intending to pull would never use Earthly Star for that). But that doesn't change the fact that THEY are failing THEIR job by not tanking when there is nothing stopping them from doing it.

Tanks don't have any special leeway of "Only I can survive tanking a boss, so I can do no bad and me wasting everyones time is acceptable.". If you think that...maybe a healer should stop healing a tank like that next?! Or DPS should stop killing the mobs on such tanks and just go by to the next group?!

This is a party game. Everyone have both the right and DUTY towards other players. Tanks are expected to at the very least pull without wasting time, healers are expected to heal everyone that is wounded and DPS are expected to attack anything that's alive and pulled. If you fail to do one of these tasks as one of these roles then you shouldn't play the role. If you fail to do so because you decided to play to win the "Who's the biggest jackass of the day" award then you should consider playing single player games instead. Or at least only with friends.
