Also, not to be pedantic, but the article title is a little misleading, since this is more about how to deal with a bad tank or one with an entitlement complex.

OTOH, I guess it would be hard to expand "Pray you have an offtank or DPS (kitty druid etc) that can taunt the boss, and warn the healers that their lives are going to suck until you can get a B-rez off" to full article length

Or I guess you could have written about the special challenges that come when your MT is being played by a vampire.

OK, I swear I'll stop now

If you are the raid leader, and your tank dies, whose fault was it? If it happens repeatedly, what can you do

I liked the title, although perhaps better would have been:

"Bad tanks, bad tanks whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do?"

A dead tank might not be bad, though. Conversely, a bad tank might not be dying because of their mistakes but if they don't pick up adds/position the boss correctly the raid'll wipe anyway. There's just not the same immediate feedback from positioning the boss with their butt in a pool of fire as getting one-shot by an ability they should have used a cool down for or interrupted
