    Simply asking the tank to pull more will mostly solve all your problems in most cases, unless they're uncomfortable with large pulls in which you can either respect their play style, or leave.

    I for one while tanking will ask you first time to stop, and if you want more, say something, after that i will let you tank what you pull.

    Which would be completely fine because damage is so negligible. You'll take aggro anyway when I bring the mobs to you during your aoe rotation.

    I think you missed the 'let you tank it part'. Just like healers can very easily switch to single target healing to teach someone a lesson or walk out of AOE range, the tank can start single targeting the mobs instead. 'It's less efficient!' I hear people say. Yeah, so is not talking with your group and just assuming your opinion on the situation is king. If you can't be bothered to spent two seconds communicating with your teammates and actively look down on them, then don't expect them to treat you as one.

    I did ask every time before pulling more, except for once or twice IIRC (even then I showed with positioning that I want bigger pulls). I agree though that you should ask first. Again, it wouldn't matter if I'd tank the mobs because damage is so negligible in the situation I'm talking about. I'll for sure adjust my expectation from now on and won't be prepulling, or at least won't be as surprised with negative reaction when I do prepull.
