-healer starts pulling stuff one after another ahead of me-
me: Dude, cut it out and let me pull...
healer: well stop pulling so slowly and I will.
me: I'm not afraid to let you die if you keep pulling....
healer: Oh yeah?
-he then proceeds to die seven times. He was also damn near top geared for healer gear, so I assume he was pretty busted from that.-
healer: Well before I do this I just want you to know that you are the worst -insert favored expletive here- tank I have ever -insert second favored expletive here- seen.
I then get party kicked from the group and have a good laugh. Seems kinda jerk like, but if I'm a tank, I expect to be the one pulling not healer or dps unless I ask for help lol.
Also had this during Deathwhisper from a sub par hunter to whom I found out in the fight was specced 71 points in marks. Five seconds into the fight,
Hunter: "Guys I'm out of ammo."
But OH it got better.
Me: "Well use you melee attacks so you're actually doing something lol."
Hunter: "Hunters have melee attacks? Holy crap!"

What I hate when I tank is people who tell me what pace to pull, and are like "Pull the entire room" or whatever. I'll pull whatever I want, the run doesn't get sped up by any significant amount if I pull whole rooms at a time.

Currently I play DPS, and what annoys me is when a DPS says 'pull entire room'. I frantically start to check the tank and healer, and see what I can do in regards to either survive or somehow assist in the control of such a crazy pull.
Usually tanks don't follow that advice from DPS though, so it works out. If both tank and healer are ok with a room pull, it's all good though. It's just when a DPS wants to go faster, yet tank and/or healer aren't geared for it, that annoys me.
If both tank and healer are geared and can control room-worth-of-pull, it does go faster, but it also depends on group makeup. On a big pull, a healer may go OOM, and have to refill their entire mana pool. With a whole bunch of small pulls, healer may never have to take a break.
Go at your own pace, just don't go afk.

"go go go"
"Can we finish this fast?"
Healer says "I just respeced to heal"
"I haven't played this character in months"
"I just bought this character"
"why is my DPS so low?"

the mage decides to roll need on a plate belt that drops that i need on i get mad and we keep going another plate belt drops and he tries to ninja it but i win it and i say "good luck on your guys 40 min queqe now that you have no healer or tank" i couldnt kick him because the 3 dps were all friends
I cal SHENANIGANS! Mages can't roll need on leather, mail, or cloth. Also, you spelled "queue" wrong and have terrible grammar while telling a story about yelling at a person who was bad at spelling. =P
He did not say what level they were. The previous story was about DK run, but it didn't apply to this story.
At level 53, as a mage, I can roll on all plate in BRD.

You also misspelled "call" and said Mages can't roll on cloth.
Pot, meet kettle.
:P
Edit: On topic: "Hey guys, I'm only here for <tanking drop>"

"But I do better dps in tank spec"
Heard this about a week ago from a warrior dps with a shield, when asked to get out defensive stance.

It may be true, but it just means he shouldn't queue as DPS.
