take screenshots of where the tank pulls mobs and look at them afterward. if you're a healer, pay attention to the defensive cooldowns they use and how that affects how much you have to heal them while it's active, and translate that to your own tanking experience.

YOU set the pace of the dungeon. don't even say anything - just abandon if people are being assholes. you get yourself out of a miserable situation, and they'll now spend more time in the dungeon than they would have if they just kept their mouth shut and pressed their buttons
