If you don't like the pressure of instanced group dungeons as a DPS, you'll hate it as a tank. Tanks dictate the pace of Dungeon runs, by controlling the volume of pulls. Pull too many and, unless you've got an amazing healer with you, you're heading for a wipe. Pull too few, and you risk frustrating your party mates by going too slowly, especially if they're rerunning old content while you're still leveling...
Thanks, guys! Oh dear, yeah, it sounds like Tank might not be ideal for a new player!

Perhaps I'll take another go at Thaumaturge (Black Mage). It's not so much that I
want to change, more that I was rubbish before and so I'll need to pay a bit more attention to the controls and training.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, jiggles and Knoyleo!
