I actually muddled my way through that. Aizhia is correct - that mess is one, long run-on sentence.
To the OP: Frankly, I'd vote to kick you as well. Perhaps the tank isn't comfortable with tanking yet, and isn't sure he can control larger groups; maybe he's looking for a casual run to get someone else comfortable with the way that instances
are run
will be run in Cataclysm*.
Regardless of his reason, if you don't like the pace of the group, feel free to drop and join another one. A good tank sets the pace; when I tank, my adage is, "You spank it, you tank it!" - DPS shouldn't be pulling unless they're doing so because the tank asked them to do so.
*I hope that Blizzard follows through and gets rid of the "roflstomp faceroll pullpullpull!" method of dungeoneering in Cataclysm. It gets really annoying at times.

One day I was running a RD on my tank warrior. I zone into SM and instantly this shaman starts yelling at me to pull faster. The last group I was with couldnt handle too big of pulls and I am still relatively new to tanking. Every time I pull and try to group up the mobs, this guy runs ahead and grabs some more, making my job very hard. He even went as far as to pull the boss before anyone was even in the room. At this point I've had enough and attempt to votekick but it doesn't go through. Oh well, not a QQ, just an anecdote from one of my runs.
ZING!
Shame he probably won't get it. ;)

If you want to tank, roll a tank. If you rolled an elemental shammy, stop pulling to do the instances by yourself.

Man, that's hard to do with a muscle memory reflex for the space bar...
Tanks don't automatically know how to handle huge multiple pull situations. It is an acquired skill. I learned slow and deliberate pulling on my DK (first tank) and expanded to double- and triple-pulls as I grew more confidant in my skills.
When I leveled a Prot Warrior in LFD, I already knew I had the ability to handle those large groups, but I still took it slow so I could learn how to do it on a Warrior. I quickly started pulling larger groups throughout the Vanilla instances, but I still started off slow if it was a random healer because I wasn't sure if he could keep me up through it.
At level 15, Warriors only have Thunder Clap and Revenge for AoE threat and no defensive cooldowns.
At level 25, we have Cleave for AoE and Last Stand, Shield Block and Intimidating Shout as cooldowns.
At level 35, we have Challenging Shout and and Shield Wall as cooldowns.
After that we have nothing new until Shockwave at 60 for AoE situations.
TL;DR - even experienced players
should
take things slow to learn new classes, and sometimes classes just don't have the skills to do the "pull bigger" mentality in lower instances.

Of course he won't, it has punctuations other than commas in it.

This reminds me of the millions of times I've run instances where the tank is moving really slowly so I solo a group while they're standing around doing nothing and get yelled at.

This was after the second group of whelps I solo'd while they were standing around doing absolutely nothing. (Note: This was pre-LFG, so him asking for leader to mark was just so he could kick me.)

And the real mystery is how you ever appeared in any woman's eyes to be a sound match.
Probably his great conversational skills.

Yeah, it's really hard to intentionally butcher your own language, isn't it?
