I feel I should clarify. I never say these things to suck fun from instance runs, I merely do it when the DPS are deliberately pulling and making my job as healing unnecessarily hard and stressful, or doing the same when I'm tanking (I'm quite a new one, so I'm very cautious and insecure about how well I tank - DPS pulling doesn't help), and let's face it: asking them nicely to please stop never works. Over the years, I've been worn down by the influx of jerks in instances that I don't much have the patience for trying to be polite, and end up doing the harsh approach to try and make them stop.

Not sure why your original comment was downvoted. "You pull it, you tank it" is pretty standard instructions for a tank to give over-anxious dpsers. And as long as "if you pull it, I'm not healing you" is addressed to the dps and not the tank, that is also very reasonable.

As a rogue, if I pull aggro by accident, or I get too close to a mob I'm trying to sap, I sure don't expect the group to risk a wipe trying to save my stupid ass by rushing in unprepared. I'll use whatever tools I have to try to get out of there, and if I die, I thank the healer for the rez and apologize to the group for being an idiot and not paying attention.

No matter how new or seasoned the tank is, watching aggro is a shared responsibility. Never assume the tank sees you starting to creep up on his aggro. Take care of your business, and things will be fine.

Anyway, I think your comments to the dps in the group are just fine, and good reminders when used at appropriate times.

Upvoted.

I always heal the DPS that aggro by accident. The DPS that rush in and pull, knowing exactly what they are doing, are the ones that I threaten not to heal, and I never threaten not to heal the tank. If he pulls too much, I ask him not to, and grit my teeth.

Hahahaha Khirsah, you directly quoted something I said to some over-anxious dps on my tank not 2 hours before servers went down today, and here I thought I had come up with a fresh stinger to rein a wayward hunter in.
