For the record I'm a tank. I've played a tank since I started in Vanilla, I've run/co-run mutliple guilds and countless raid groups. I know how the game works, I know how to play my class and have at least a working understanding of your class in a raid. I currently have a mix of Flex, normal and warforged gear, as well as my capes/metas. If I que up as a tank, I know the fight, If i don't know the fight I don't que up. I'll go watch a video and then try it as DPS in LFR first to see it. That said even when something goes wrong to cause a wipe that isn't the tanks fault, I've always seen them blamed first. No exceptions. I'm not a special snowflake rather I'm an average player at best, but I'm not going to willingly subject myself to be the doormat of 23/24 other people. I'm here to get gear and valor just like them. Thats why 99% of the time, I don't que as a tank for LFR. So yes, be nice to your tanks. I'll sit and wait on another tank to take the abuse when the group has been bunch of jerks/tools rather than switch spec from dps every single time.
