If it's the dps, stand back and protect the healer, but let him die.

It's usually not a problem at 80 unless the dps severely outgears the tank; aggro can be taken back with relative ease. However at lower levels this can prove irritating and stressful. Healers at low levels do not have infinite mana pools, and having all the mobs on
one
person makes the run a whole lot smoother.
If it's an accidental pull, I always taunt the mob and don't even acknowledge it. If it looks to be done on purpose however, I stand there and do nothing. Usually after two or three wipes / near wipes they get the hint. Players need to learn that everything in this game isn't a faceroll just because you outgear heroics on your 80 main. When leveling any toon I follow the concept of "you pull it, you tank it." I don't heal them on my healer, don't taunt it on my tank, and deal with it myself if I've pulled it on my dps.

if you pull it, tank it...
This ofc is my rule when a dps keeps on pulling on purpose, that and I only tank for guildies. Needles to say the new 80s learn fast... It helps so they dont do the same in raids...

On my tank alt I'm pulling too fast to let the DPS even think about doing it. If they ever did? I'd look at healer mana and decide if it was a reasonable pull or not, and handle it accordingly.
The way I see it is the best way for everyone to be happy is for the run to be completed in the quickest most efficient manner possible, even if it annoys me. If extra mobs are pulled, and I know I'm capable of handling it, I'll handle it. Again, it's annoying, but the group doesn't wipe, and the length of the run is shortened a bit. If it DOES wipe the group, then the DPS should be scolded.
I pull sometimes on my mage, just one mob to get things rolling. Sometimes the tank is just standing still for 30 seconds after every pull with 100% HP and 90%+ mana on the healers, doing only god knows what. We're not in the instance to have a lengthy tour, we want to get through it as fast as possible, get our emblems/rewards, and leave to do other things ASAP.

DPS never pulls once I get started...b/c, well, they are probably just struggling to keep up. (15% PoJ speed and stupid fast chain pulls).
But I do get the occasional DPS that pulls the first group while I'm still buffing. It takes like 15 seconds to buff everyone (pally power), throw up a /readycheck and drink to full mana before I start.
But even within those 15 seconds, sometimes you have DPS that just can't wait...usually I sit there until they die or the group is dead and then begin.

1) Ive noticed it got more and more frequant, and its not just the DPS.
( I had a whole story here about a druid healer that kept pulling but the wall of text bored me so i hit delete!)
I think this is the new part of the game that some over geared and bored (or just plain selfish) people are playing. I dont think they are really in a rush, they just wanna cause as much mayhem as they can!
and 2) how
I am
dealing with it- not the way you should i know. The best way is to most likely just ask them to stop. Some do it because they think its part of their job. Hunters in particular. I do miss being asked to pull and provid CC when on my hunter as I was so greatly used for during TBC but these new ICC dungeons, other the dwarf rifle man in HOR require very little or no CC what so ever. And as tanks all have ways to pull there is no need for any one else to do it.
But me, I let the little !@*% pull as much as they like then sit back and watch there health drop. I never let them die, this will just lead to you getting a bad name as a tank, but it gives me great satifaction knowing there repair cost is going up and up and up.
Plus Ive been know to go slower and slower when some one says GOGOGOGGOGOGO!
I just LOVE the slow walk key :D

If they're plate DPS, they can probably tank 3.0 heroics pretty well. You can stand back and whine about the fact that the content you're doing probably does not absolutely positively require your services, or you can contribute.
I just charge in afterwards and pick up what I can if a DPS pulls for me, without whining about it. If they die, they know why they did and they don't complain to me about it. If they don't, we get frost badges faster.
