Honey, you have to own being a tank. Everyone is a rookie at some point. Don't let people crowd your style. One of our worst and best qualities is that we are all Divas. Every tank has his style and way of doing things that the others have to deal with.

Every new dungeon I say, "Bonjour, I'm a rookie here so let me know of anything crazy." If they say anything bad, just start marking and pulling. They will shut up once they see you can still, amazingly, be a great tank without running the thing a hundred times.

You're going to deal with hot heads, tough guys, posers, know-it-alls, and a-holes. Our job as a tank is to shut them up and set them straight.
