Actually, I find his method of getting Milhouse out of the group greatly reduces the damage to the group. However, with that said, I do keep in mind when I tank those fights that the earthshaper is CCd, stunned or interrupted. Which it sounds like your tank wasn't doing. So I find what you did understandable for the situation.

Unfortunately, there is no one single strategy for every pull. Nor is there even one way to always dps, tank or heal a boss fight. The ability to think on your feet is required for each instance. Sadly, too many want to coast through everything and complain when they can't.

As for tanking low level dungeons, I am on my second warrior (I didn't learn tanking with my pally and DK while lvling), and after the first I have learned to just not worry about it. As long as people don't die, then it's all good. Are they learning bad habits? Yes. Will reality hit them in the face when they max out? Only partially, from my experience. Many just cannot seem to understand that they are playing with other human beings. In the end, I remember that it's a game and while I continue to compl....... "comment" on others doing foolish things (mostly to myself or w/e poor sap is in mumble with me), I also just laugh and move on. ;)
