Im pretty sure this is about ret paladins/fury warriors/feral druids etc queuing as tank, not swapping to a tank spec, and then thinking they can hold aggro because they are overgeared. It usually results in deaths and doesnt really speed the dungeon up compared to a good tank in a tank spec.

Tanks that are more concerned with DPS than aggro need to stop pretending theyre tanks. They aint. They aint even good DPS. LMAO

From my experience, its the Pulls-the-room tank who yanks in all in, cant keep aggro worth a spit while hes failing miserably to mow it all down…and half of its eating DPS alive who are just trying to stay alive while Im trying to heal four or five players instead of one…all so tanky poo can see how high he can push his DPS.
I dont complain about tanks or healers much…but when I do…
DPS players can contain 68% suck a lot of times…but there are enough self serving tanks in the game to just not want to bother in group content much anymore
I would blame dps for that as well. Tanks are the way they are because of dps. I have not been in 1 pug where dps have interrupted consistently, stunned consistently. Their interiors and Cc are usually miles behind what it needs to be.
Dps want us to pull big but they don’t want to interupt or Cc to make those big pulls possible.

The best dps are always tanks on alts–or dps with a geared tank alt–in my experience.

Yeah, I think dps who have played other roles (tank, heals) in challenging content have usually been great dps, in my experience.

Well, doing dps is your job, you may not have kept away or the tank may not have taken it away from you.
I have no idea what this complaint is even about
is it about tanks dps’ing?
is it about dps trying to tank?
I successfully “tanked” a +10 on this character last tier with some friends. Corruptions were silly broken and I could reasonably hold threat.
It was a lot of kiting though. 
P.s. only “tank” on a dps with friends and with sufficient warning. It’s rude to do so otherwise.
yeah…there is that. Though personally as a healer Ive run into a number of tank players who suck at tanking and are just trying to run DPS numbers up for their own personal reason. Even when DPS was behaving and after the idiot had already caused wipes.
Im sure in many cases tanks feel like if they dont pull fast, though, that some joker DPS will start pulling the room for them.
S’ok though…I just turn off the heals to the clown and let him die then laugh while Im voting to kick. DPS are a dime a dozen anyway.
Another problem is people being in the tank role, then swapping out to a DPS spec…then theyre just harder to heal than tank specs are…and they dont have the tank tools either.
Vote kicked DK 'tank’s a number of time running in DPS specs refusing to swap back to tank.

OP are you saying tanks set up for damage die… or that dps set up for defense die…
I don’t think this makes too much sense. Can you clarify what you mean?
Tanks are better at max level.
So a tank is pumping, out dpsing you, yet you some how rip the mob off and die… 
… dude stop aggroing additional mobs. The tank isn’t the issue, you are.
Thanks to everyone who responded and understood my poor attempt at explaining myself. To everyone who didn’t understand, I’m truly sorry. To everyone who chose to willfully misunderstand, you get to be you, all the time, and it never ends, the mirror gives the same answer to the same question every morning. To the folks who reported and tried to have this post flagged and removed … I look forward to your 2:58:02 YouTube video on how cancel culture is ruining gaming.

There’s a shocking number of replies in this thread that read the OPs issue as an issue with tank spec damage.
Reading comprehension is a skill, not a super power. Jeebus.
Op, looks like you need a threat meter if you don’t have get one.
