It's kinda rude however to just start pulling for the tank with no attempt to communicate first.

Why do I need consent from the group if I'm the healer and I don't risk a wipe at all and I'm keeping everyone alive? Tank also doesn't need to ask consent to pull more, sure it's their job, but there seems to be less hard feelings when tank overpulls and causes a wipe (not completely sure about that one actually). While I'm literally not risking anything and making the dungeon progress faster. Maybe you should change your mentality towards the game if you consider that rude?

You can also say I should change my mentality for not seeing it as rude, but then I'd say consider that what I'm doing is increasing efficiency, which is the whole point of the tank/healer/dps role conventions in the first place: to do do dungeons in most efficient manner. You could for example let dps take all enmity and let tank just dps, but that's not the convention because it wouldn't be efficient.

Thus I would say there's no point in abiding by the convention in a situation when it's obviously not the most efficient path forward. And for that reason it shouldn't be seen as rude imo.
