As an aside, i used to find it annoying as a fury warrior to constantly have to check which mob a tank is focusing if they didnt bother marking and i'd usually find myself attacking the wrong mob until i realised. Then i made this assist macro:
/assist
I set the tank as my focus at the start of the run then i just have t press it to target whatever the tank is targetting.

If a healer dies, it's the tanks fault.
If a tank dies, it's the healers fault.
If a DPS dies, it's their own god damn fault.

This is most directed at certain replies and not the OP - don't let yourself off so easy. Good tanks are a dime a dozen these days, and if you let people die on purpose to teach them a lesson, you just got a lot worse than the competition. Buck up and tank harder.

If they pull it they tank it. That usually solves the problem in 5 or so minutes.
And if they die and are rezed don't wait for them to eat/drink, just pull the next group.
lol i love this.

Its way too much time consuming.
so that macro :)
get tank on focus and do some macro that will target target of your focus guy :) just click one button and you will be nuking tanks target, its easy, its fast and its safe, lot of wipes will be saved, but some dps are just lames and lazy :(

All DPS should have a threatmeter. If they pull aggro and die, it's their own fault. Not yours.
DPS rule #1:
"Do as much damage as you possibly can."
But DPS classes sometimes forget rule #2:
DPS rule #2:
"Dead DPS doesn't do DPS."
So basically, if it means they should auto-attack for a few melee rounds, that's exactly what they need to do. That's also exactly why you don't start AOE-ing when the tank (especially a Warrior tank) has just pulled. You wait a good 5 to 10 seconds so that every target has eaten a Cleave or two, then you can AOE.
Also, after the dead DPS has been rezzed, don't wait for them. They'll hate you for it, because with 5% health and not properly buffed they won't dare to be up close with any mob, and others will pass them on the damage meters, but that's kinda their penalty for being dumb.
