"Can we do all the bosses?"
Well excuse me for wanting my achievments and loot.
I had a group skip right to the las PoS boss and I missed the damn drop from Eck or whatever his name is..
One group tried this and I pulled the entire instance to them. Got kicked instantly but it was worth it.

And then those two players, and the healer who is now getting tail-swiped, yell, "OMFG spin teh dragonz L2tank nub". There are certain tanking conventions that exist for a reason,
there are also DPS who wilfully subvert those conventions and then blame the tank.
And those guys annoy me too, but from what Alliari said, these Death Knights weren't like that. I think the most likely story here is that a couple DPS did something which they knew would increase their DPS and make the boss slightly harder to heal. They also knew the healer was geared for ICC 25 and bored out of his/her mind and wouldn't really care, and that a fast run is basically the best thing that can happen in a heroic now (barring getting HHoR for your daily <3). All of this is well and good, the healer is glad s/he can press buttons, the DKs are glad their DPS are higher, and the tank flips out over rules that don't matter and childishly gives people repair bills. This sort of thing happens constantly, and whenever a story about it is posted on these forums, invariable people talk about how terrible DPS are nowadays. I simply can't understand that.

Definitely hate it when anyone tells me to pull more/whole room. I'm the tank. I'll pull what I want when I want, and if you do what I say this will go even faster. So stfu.
Honestly if people want to direct a tank they should try being one because you know they never have. Then again yes, there are people that have 80 tanks and they're playing a new mage alt. That's great, hope you enjoy that. So WHY are you standing next to me throwing fireballs? Stay at ranged!
Phwef. feel better. thanks guys :D

The one that stands out in my mind was when I was running VH, and when the second boss popped out, all the dps (all Death Knights) popped army of the dead, before I could taunt, then proceeded to wail on the boss...
Naturally I just waited for the gouls to die then the Death Knights to pull aggro and then die.
Which boss? The fire-breathing dog, the need-to-kite Ethereal, or one of the ones where it doesn't really matter?

You say that you can use AotD to chain taunt, but taunt has an 8 second cooldown. The ghouls are
constantly
taunting, and you might have aggro for half a second before it gets ripped off.
The thing is, ghoul threat spirals up as they taunt off each other. Taunt towards the end and you'll have an
insane
threat lead on everything once the ghouls die.
And that is unfortunate about cat druids, but in their defense, I personally find that one out of about every five cat druids (regardless of gear) spams Mangle instead of Shred.
Still though, they should have noticed that you were using the correct abilities by that point in the instance and realized that army probably doesn't contribute to overall DPS.

"I can't be bothered to tank I'm just going to dps"
We don't have another tank and a dps decides its a good idea to start pulling things and needless to say we die and that dps and the "tank" leave.
