I would've simply let him go his on way and let him or the group die,
why frustrate yourself? they wouldn't listen and if they keep on
supporting the tanking rogue so what? You are there and you still get
xp, drops and complete the dungeon quests. If he dies or the group
dies you simply say "I told you so" then you can resume the normal way
of playing... Relax and enjoy the ride.
