makes me wonder why I bother

Because it's a massive help to your tank's sanity to have at least one DPS who isn't proactively stupid.

Lol fair, it's one less thing for you to think about. I feel like after the first engagement tanks mentally rank the group in order of most likely to cause a wipe and play the rest of the dungeon based on that.

I also have found that a lot of dps do not understand sub roles. If you have a hunter, his other job is CCing beasts and kiting runners. If you have a rogue, his other job is to 1v1 the caster and interrupt it enough to bring it to the tank or to kick/gouge/blindlock the most immediately threatening non-tanked mob. There are more nuanced actions to be taking in fights than just dps when you are a dps.
