Yep it was the same with my tank.  People got so used to being able to
faceroll a heroic in 5 minutes flat for their daily Frost Emblems that
they regarded it as a major inconvenience if a newbie tank apologised
in advance for taking their time with pulls and actually marked a mob
up as skull.  Cue moans and negativity.

My warrior wasn't a bad tank, I had a decent set of crafted and boe
gear, all gemmed and enchanted properly.  I wasn't confident at my aoe
threat generation hence marking the mob as skull.  But the grief and
stress just wasn't worth it and I have no wish to repeat the
experience in Cata.

A welcome addition to the game would be an auto-kick feature for any
DPS DK yelling "Gogogo".  Come to think of it  any hunter ninja-
misdirecting onto a tank that he thinks isn't moving fast enough
should get an auto insta-ban ;)
