I kept up on what I was doing and didn't hear anything else. I wasn't just standing when I could be helping, but ultimately? Sorry, my comfort in how often the tank should be healed is priority. Every healer has a different comfort level, and sorry you don't like it? But don't be PA and just ">.>" and say nothing to me otherwise. Looked the dps up later and saw they had whm at 60, and went "Oh. No wonder." That's not the way you get people to do something you want, you ask first. It's probably why I'm not looking forward to actually leveling AST at this point despite wanting to. :(
tl;dr I don't like pugging if I can help it because on the off-chance I don't get some pretty fabulous people, they're Grade A Dicks that make me wish I could do dungeons by myself and get exp for it.
I've been there, and it's one of the reasons I don't like to pug as a healer. To be honest your entire post shouted out as a "hnngh I hear you loud and clear, this is EXACTLY why I don't like to pug". I levelled WHM on Raeth for a little while, for stoneskin (he kinda hit 30 and then stopped, though...) but occasionally my desire to at least do that daily roulette on those classes tends to drop and I just stop doing it. Queueing as a DPS just to get...say, Cutter's Cry, and then everyone immediately leaves? Not all that pleasant.
I just wish I could underman content and still get exp. :v I don't want to hassle people for boosts, I just want to be able to slowly haul my poor healer friend through dungeons while I level my tank...Without having to worry about getting some of the worst, most ungrateful DPS players of the duty finder.
On the subject of people subtly marking things for you, though...I queued Levelling Roulette: Qarn on my warrior - I was feeling pretty good, I was confident that I could tank a roulette! On very rare occasions, these things happen! And since it was an easy enough dungeon, I had no enmity issues, and didn't bother marking the mobs. Usually I'd mark at least one, to make my life easier, but today I didn't need it! Fortunately, the DPS did focus down my target, for the most part. One of them didn't really bother, but it didn't matter - FOR I AM WARRIOR, HEAR ME ROAR. I felt very optimistic!
Later on in the dungeon, however, someone started marking a kill order. Not just an "I am attacking this target" mark - They were marking the entire pulls! I hadn't lost enmity once through the entire dungeon, it was an extremely smooth run, but...For whatever reason, they started marking mobs. Naturally, the other DPS...Completely ignored these marks anyway. No one questioned it. I was a little confused, because...Well, surely mob marking is what I should be doing, right? If I'm struggling to hold enmity, i'd like people to focus X target so I have an easier time, right? Whatever reason they had for marking them, it didn't really serve any purpose.
And eventually I pulled that "asshole pugtank" card and started de-marking them for my own pleasure, giggling to myself behind the screen. :c I'm probably no better...I'll just go and sit in the corner now.
But as a side note, one of my pet peeves is when people don't say hello when I greet them. ;; It's not that hard to say hi, is it? You're going to be spending the next 30 mins or so stuck in this dungeon with me! Say something, at least! *sobs*
