I am not disagreeing with you. The boss sure in hell doesn't care who pulls. If an early pull happens, then a tank has got to get in there and snap agro. But it's just a good general rule of thumb to let the MT commence the countdown and pull. However, anyone can initiate a ready check; including said AST before casting Earthly Star.

The AST might not have intended to pull the boss, but he/she definitely was under the impression that the fight would start when nothing gave him or her any indication that it would. Unless the OP left these details out; or thought that by casting ES, it would prompt the MT to pull. Either way, a fault in judgment is still a fault. But the "You pull it, you tank it" mentality doesn't really help anyone here, including an AST trying to optimize their abilities.
