Gonna repeat a lot of what's been said as I definitely am one to get a bit of 'tank nerves' the first time I'm in a run or even randomly queue'ing now and then. I agree stating up front if it's your first time in a place (I usually run with friends my first time or two in a place if I can help it for this reason) is a good idea. And honestly as someone who plays tank and dps I like to be ready/prepped to offer aid in either role if needed.
I've found, for me at least, that things like marking and instructions can make a run smooth. I try not to assume people will know what to do unless I don't see the 'new player completion bonus' message. Just remember that as the tank, you set the pace that you (and your healer) are comfortable at. If people don't like that, they can leave but don't feel you have to pull a giant chunk of the dungeon if you aren't ready for it. Just communicate and more often than not people are glad to work with you to see things through.
