It does. You're told to "guard your fellow man" - Mylla gave a nice little speech about how our comrades can't take a hit because they're on the offensive, and it's our duty to protect them.

As for learning how to tank - that's what the lower level dungeons are for. First time I ever ran a dungeon it was as a tank - same with my roommate (who has zero history of MMOs). I've played MMOs before, so it wasn't bad, but he had one wipe in Satasha Seagrot and that was it. Mind you, he's on the PS3, so when everyone raged at him for his first wipe (and then they left), he was pretty much left with just taking heat.

I feel like a much more viable solution to learning how to tank is for people to actually be empathetic in the first two-three dungeons instead of expecting a "l33t pr0" speed run. Giving the tank a few tips actually teaches him/her how to be better. Raging at them does nothing.
