Any dps who starts to roleplay tank and pull packs, is seriously challenged when it comes to social skills.
Regardless of what tank do or don't - the DPS is toxic and tries to force his "wrong" way of playing the game upon the rest.
Start going slower, let him die repeatedly, just do the opposite of what he wants.
His insecurities will cause massive frustration for him, which he might even take all the way to the forums.
I am so glad I have Tricks on my Rogue alt to deal with no-skilled tanks. It's really pretty shocking how many people are still self-righteous and arrogant because they choose to play tank (a role with a slight bit of extra responsibility, and much less requirement for skill). And I say that as a tank main.

when someone yells GOGOGO I usually start going, whatever happens I don't care. I just go.
tho when people get abusive I'll pull a boss and gtfo
hit & run posting lol
Which part of "I'm not here to die because of you" don't you understand? Do I look like Jesus Christ on a cross to you? Do you hear me saying: "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they are doing?"
If they don't know how to be a team player, I'm not going to stick my neck out for them. They want to fly solo, I let them. After they die one, two, three times, they get the message, and get back in line. I see it as much needed corrective measure for their rotten behaviour. After that, they know really well what it means that the tank pulls, healer heals, and damage dealers DPS. And everyone is happy.
You can argue all you want against it, but it works. And it keeps my repair bills low.

I get irritated when A) I'm topping the meters in both ST and AoE but someone lesser geared decides "this tank is too slow,"and B) when someone pulls a boss as I wait for th rest of the group to catch up.
Honestly, as a tank I give no fucks. If someone else pulls I let them handle the aggro. What're they gonna do, kick me? I can get another queue in no time. And sprinting around like a jackass pulling everything in sight means I can't pull one huge pack and deal with them, I have to gather like 3 smaller groups together because 99% of the time someone just aggroes and then drags them backwards.
Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had forgiven? Behold, now, the terrible vengeance of the Forsaken!
So you're a hypocrite then. You want to be allowed to be bad, but you won't allow others to be, just because you chose to play the easiest spec (to be clear, tank main here).
Don't get kids.
If you don't think tanks have a lower requirement for skill, then you haven't played many specs to their potential. A tank in a casual+ raid environment has to survive and taunt occasionally, full stop. DPS they bring is a bonus at that level. Them surviving being attributed to healers or another tank doesn't matter, the tank itself is passable. The same does not go for a DPS.
DPSing. What do you think he was doing?
Rogue is in the wrong this time. If you want to do stupid stuff then make sure you can back it up.
If I was tank? Early stuff, I would just roll on in at my own leisure and pick them up. Let the rouge get a bit worried just to let him know that he should only grab what they can handle. Timewalking onward? Let the idiot die. Even stand next to him to wait to pick the mobs up when he is dead.
that's faire? tank job is to tank, mine is to heal even if after 12 years tanks still tanking in stairs, behind walls, dps out of my aoe heal, in fire or with that fucking hunter still at 548552 km. i deal with it and try to heal, if i failed well not my fault dudes! i do my best too clean your shit. or i can be a butthurt diva and let the tank die and keep regen far behind and say "I decide to heal when I want, when I AM ready and when it pease ME!"
As always in these discussions, the tank is correct. The end.
It's the tanks job upto a point... but if that rogue is deliberately being an arse they don't have a leg to stand on if someone is an arse back.
Also it's a rogue.... If he was going to pull a load of extra stuff why didn't he just tricks it onto the tank ? Sounds like the rogue wasn't doing his job either.
