I sometimes (not every day anymore) make a random HC run for a few frost. Of course I can carry a "blue" healer and a few "blue dps" without loosing much pace. That said :-) ... I dont think this is good for the game and for the education of dps and healers. Of course they get spoiled and expect to just get away with anything stupid - like pulling, stealing aggro, max out dps without checking the target and other stunts. That is sad for new tanks with more normal gear and experience. Good tanks are sometimes as bad as bad tanks :-)

I despise getting grouped with Death Knights for heroics, I think Blizzard needs to add a feature to the dungeon finder and let u choose an entire class you don't want to group with. In my opinion the only place Death Knights belong is in a raid group as DPS, their tanking abilities are crappy at best and they are some of the most arrogant people I have ever been in vent with, especially the ones that think they know what they are doing, I will give credit where credit is due however, some Death Knight tanks and DPS know their class and I don't have a problem with them, I'm more talking about the other 95% of the Death Knight population In randoms, DKs are the most annoying DPS and the worst tanks I have been in dungeons with, they either pull too much aggro as DPS or not enough as a tank.

If you see a level 60ish DK tanking your level 60ish random, run for your life!! Dks leave their little DK sanctuary at 58ish and some immediately put on forst presence and pick "tank" after figuring out that it takes to long as dps and is istant as tank :p Sadly that clueless DK will have never seen the instance, will have no idea of all the tips above, AND will be completely ignorant of the fact that there is this little thing called MANA that his healer and some dps need, and will go barging ahead like Rambo, regardless of healer being OOM, in range or even alive. Other tank classes can be just as clueless but usually by 60 that noobishness has been beaten out of them :p Nowadays on my healer I ask 2-3 times for mana break for me and party, if I have to ask more than that I let tank go and heal the nearest plate. a few deaths will beat some sense into clueless tanks. On my tank I ALWAYS ask if healer needs mb before boss, unless healer is icc geared, then I just go around killing everything in sight and enjoy the imba heals :D As an 80 DK tank who has recently rolled a healer I have to admit that DKs can be clueless tanks.

I still find it hard at some point to control the situation at times and I have been playing for a while. But as initial post said, give all a second chance and explain if there is something you, as tank, want done in a sertain order and try to just soft through. There is no win in wiping, and all can go without whining. To all who posted here: Nice to see in somewhat how ppl see the random systems. I for one like it and a "noob" can at point shake the secure playworld we have to remember that all is not easy pickings. GO NOOBS OF WOW...
