Ignore them or leave group. Those are usually the best two options.

I don't
I just turn BG chat off and have a drink.
I've been part of the alliance for 4 1/2 years across 7+ battlegroups every single one is massive failure in BG's so I just don't fucking care anymore.
The amount of failure has reduced me to tears and wanting to slit my own throat.

You slap them, properly, with the back of your right hand.

Example: Random idiot in a heroic pulls a whole group of mobs for no reason, dies, we laugh and ress. He says "Hilar y u no hil mi?" I proceed to /facepalm.
Thats what you do with idiots. Facepalm.

Of course, for those of us who have moved past choking on our shoelaces, it would look like rated BGs at high ratings. The games would all be close (when class balance allowed for it) and the wins and losses wouldn't be as big. In the end, gameplay would be marginally improved but regular BGs would be seen as an inferior Rated BG since the rewards would be significantly worse.
Of course, they could apply the system to rateds and we'd have about a better system than tradepugs and worse than preforms.

I do my level best to growl the mobs off of 'em, mash cooldowns, spam as much threat as I possibly can, and overall do my best to impress the hell out of the rest of the group with my tanking skills. Then either finish out the instance and get my VP, or wait for them to votekick him and laugh to myself as I click "Yes".
See, if someone gets all the way to 85 heroics, gets geared up enough to queue randoms, and still doesn't know how to watch their aggro... they're NEVER going to learn. Letting them die to teach them a lesson is pointless, because they WILL NOT LEARN IT. So I do what is in MY best interests--be the best tank I can possibly be, and get through the dungeon quicker, get my VP quicker, and let the rest of the party decide whether or not the guy's more annoying than waiting for a replacement.
How do I accomplish such a feat? ...I have years upon years of practice being patient with people. A skill I'm trying to teach certain other people both in and out of game...

Really nice, but I gotta disagree with that you said they will "NEVER" learn. If they are new players, they probably dont even have any threat meter addon etc. You have to teach them and help them and they will learn. If they are unwilling to even listen to you, then gtfo of my group. I mean, its not like you gonna learn much in <85 dungeons except things regarding your class, big learning curve comes when you hit 85 and start doing those random hc's.
