Allison,

I think this kind of hits the nail on the head. I only recently got into tanking for Cata but I've been playing warlock DPS for a long time.

I remember the days when your reputation meant everything. If someone ninja'd from a 5 man they were lambasted in cities and on the forums. Heck I got into a few guilds based on my reputation or being someone who devotes themselves to the guild and their advancement.

Every day I do my random and maybe an extra if a friend needs a tank. I find it frustrating that I can complete one run flawlessly and without complaint but my next run I will be harassed because ONE pull didn't go right or someone decides I'm not going fast enough and pulls a second group.

I enjoy tanking but I've found my desire to do more than my one daily dropping drastically.
