I'm gonna paraphrase my rant from the chatroom, here, because you all need to hear it.
So, I just got through an instance where the sync'd dps could not fucking understand what "No Provoke" means. I'm at the final boss, Gyges the Great in Copperbell, so I try to aggro the bastard over to the first boulder so we can burn his ass, right? Why waste time on adds when we can skip the bastard?
Welp, my party was having none of it. The MNK and BLM and WHM refuse to stop attacking him and I get aggro ripped off instantly and can't get it back because all I have is savage blade and flash.
Yes I have Shield Toss, but that's irrelevant to the problem, which was regaining lost aggro. You simply do not Shield Toss a mob that's lost aggro. So I stand there flailing my aggro combo and flashing like a maniac the whole fight in desperation while the WHM decides to just healbot the idiot MNK who can't recognize that, when the boss is punching you, maybe you should hand over the damage to the guy who can actually take a punch?
And what do I get for my troubles? What's my reward as I leave the instance in a huff?
>[17:01](Anonymous) u had the LEAST ammount of aggro in that fight.
Fuck these people.
Their best critique of the tank who has no provoke and he must aggro, the fucking level 18 GLD with no Oaths, is "I'm gonna state the obvious and pretend you are at fault because you're the tank." I can't even say I'm not even mad, because I am, but rightfully so, as my apparent deal with the devil to get short queues requires I shepherd Hell's flock of raving psychos and idiots through a field of landmines and get whipped for it the whole time by the thankless morons.
You who I choose to keep anonymous, you assholes who made a simple run of Copperbell the worst thing in the world. To you I reserve the most heartfelt, sinister-sounding, pause-giving "Fuck you" I can muster. You all represent the worst things a Tank should not, from a moral/ethical standpoint, have to deal with, but does. I sincerely hope the next roulette each of you ends up in ends with all your asses being kicked within a few seconds. If it doesn't, there are people out there with a lot more patience than I, clearly.

Screw that, I found the guy to say it for me.
