The problem is that people tend to remember the bad times and so it
seems like they happen more frequently than they actually do.

I tried to get into tanking late in Wrath but I often got grief for
being undergeared.  That happened probably 15-20% of the time but it
seemed to be a lot more and I got to the point where I was dreading
every run because that one might be the one where I get grief.  So I
stopped tanking.

The point being that even if a fairly low percentage of runs end up
bad with the tank getting grief for things that aren't their fault
then they will get discouraged.  If it happens with any regularity
then the next run could be the bad one and so they might choose not to
run it.
