Another jugg tanking story seeing as we are going along those lines:
I get a pop for HM cad with my 31k sorc healer. Zone in and see jugg tank (36k), jugg dps (33k), jugg dps (40k). The 36k and the 33k are in the same guild so I feel I ought to be nice and polite to avoid being kicked.
On the first pull the "tank" jugg melts, loses aggro all over the place and (from the little I know of jugg tanking with my jugg) is all over the place. Second pull is about the same with me doing more healing on the 40k jugg dps rather than the "tank". Get to the droid at the top of the lift and they force push it over the edge.
While we are waiting for the lift the "tank" says "tanking in dps spec and gear ftw".
me: "oh, that explains why your so squishy and can't hold any aggro"
tank: "Im not squishy, haven't died yet"
40k jugg: "thank the healer for that"
tank: "I know what im doing dw"
me: "we can test this theory, in the cantina ambush I wont heal"
tank: "fine by me its a weak pull anyway I wont need it"
Jump off the lift, avoid the fights, push the champ droid off the edge and enter cantina. True to my word I don't heal. Not true to his word the "tank" goes low on hp and starts shouting in chat for heals, so I heal him and keep him alive. He puts guard on me. I ignore it for now. At the next pull I again spend my time healing the 40k as the tank has no aggro at all.
I get a nice chance to see the true ability of this tank at the pull with the 5 dogs, the freezing barrel and 2 ranged standard enemies. The tank leaps in, doesn't pull the dogs to the barrel, and pops sabre reflect (5 melee enemies, 2 ranged). At the end I ask him if he knows how all his DCD's work. He doesn't respond. I suggest to the tank he guards the 40k jugg.
tank: "lol'd at that, its to protect you"
me: "I can look after myself don't you worry, I have learnt over the many runs alongside bad tanks how to sorc-tank"
tank: "the reason you aren't dieing is because of my guard"
me: "what benefit do you think I get from it? and please don't say 50% damage reduction because that just completes the noob tank package right here"
tank: "lol you don't know how guard works then? you only take half damage, thats why I guard you"
40k jugg: "thats pvp" (I think he is attempting to be a peacekeeper)
Theres no response but I keep switching the guard off myself to prove the point that I don't need it, however he never puts it on mr 40k. At the first boss the "tank" switches to shien. I ask him what he is doing and he says:
"im dps geared and specced and this fight I only need to hold aggro on 1 enemy and I can help burn down the droid"
me: "40k is going to rip off you"
tank: "he wont, I know my dps rotation and can easily out-dps him"
me: "we will see"
The tank-dps pulls with force charge, the other 2 then force charge in and the 40k takes aggro as soon as his force charge hits. The tank taunts back. As soon as the taunt wears off the aggro is back on the 40k. The tank aoe taunts by which time the droid is active and after the 33k dps. He drags the droid over to the cell then all 3 of them attack the droid. I then get aggro on the bloke due to my heals so I aggro dump then switch to single target dps so I don't build any more aggro on the bloke. We complete the fight and the tank says: "see, my aggro was fine". I don't even credit that with a response.
We carry on to the wookie boss and when we get there I stand close. The tank stops attacking while he types:
"why are you standing in melee, your ranged."
me: "its so WHEN I pull aggro I can get the adds to the flamethrower quickly"
tank: "you wont pull off me"
Second round of adds I get aggro and drag them to the flamethrower. However this tank (taunting on CD just to hold aggro off the 40k) decides to protect me by turning the flamethrower away. Eventually we finish the fight and the tank says "theres no need for you to stand in the flame thrower, stay behind the boss"
me: "adds"
tank: "just wait for my aoe taunt to come off cd and ill sort it"
me: "how long till it was off CD?"
tank: "35 seconds"
me: "exactly, I might as well do it myself"
Get to bonus boss and yet again the tank switches to shien. The 40k rips aggro every time the taunt debuff drops. As I am body type 3 I cannot stand in the safe spot by the lift so I have to stand by the box, meaning certain areas of the boss doorway los me. The "tank" los's me, I ask him not to in chat. he replies:
tank: "it doesn't matter you don't heal properly anyway"
During the first big red lightning circle thing the 40k intercedes to me but the other 2 stand it in. This is where I draw the line: I will carry a dps pretending to be a tank, I will put up with his arrogance for the sake of my comms, I will work harder due to the fact there is no tank, but I will not heal people who choose to ignore boss mechanics. Those 2 die and me and the 40k finish the fight with the other 2 med-centering and running in but dieing every time the boss does his aoe circle thing.
At the end of the fight the tank carries on the conversation from before
tank: "lol so what if I los'd you you don't heal anyway"
me: "im a healer not a babysitter, if you ignore mechanics thats your problem."
tank: "I don't need babysitting mate, im carrying you"
40k jugg: "it looks the other way round to me, the healer and I are carrying you 2"
33k jugg: "lmao you think your so great but you can't even heal"
me: "we have a tank with no mit, no idea how to hold aggro and no idea how to use his DCD's yet there have been 0 deaths up until you stand in stupid, and you tell me I can't heal?"
tank: "lol I don't need your heals"
We run through the enemies at the bottom (or try to, the jugg tank dies running through). The 3 of us then fight back to his body so I can res him. We do the conversation, get to ortol and get started. The 2 juggs that have been an issue from the start both forget to move out of the fire (no big loss and neither of them knew the shackle mechanic so me and 40k were relying on each other anyway).
The tank and 33k are lying dead and spamming chat with "/stuck it". Us 2 ignore them and complete the fight ourselves. A nice willpower implant drops which is an upgrade for me so I need. Both the tank and 33k need as well, when I ask them why they ninja'd they said it was to stop me ninjaing as I clicked need on it too. I pointed out that needing a mainstat item with better stats is not ninjaing. The 33k jugg won the roll.
Still I got my comms, 2 more ignores and 1 more friend.
