I've never had any trouble just by speaking up at the start of a run. "Hey, first time here. Anything tricky I should know about?"
Most of the time on patch day, that's true for 4/4 of the people running anyway. 'Fessing up about it defuses a lot of tension, especially when people start dying to mechanics.
Full admission: My first Brayflox Hard was with 4 people who had ZERO IDEA how to handle the bomb phases on the last boss. Wiped probably half a dozen times before realizing the AoE wasn't the side of the arena. We were trying to blow all the bombs into one side, and that worked about as well as you'd think it did.
When in doubt, be exceedingly, excruciatingly honest. "Hi, I'm your tank and I'm going to kill us all several times. Work with me."
