If there is one thing that I usually cannot stand, it's the random "know-it-all" asshat that ruins a run by their incessant nagging. Yes, sometimes a player could use a little advice or encouragement to do things differently if their current setup isn't working. But all and all, unless the group is failing miserably--let it go. If you have the misfortune of being grouped with an arms warrior that is wearing nothing but PvP gear and insists on tanking, then by all means speak up or leave the group and take the debuff. Just don't be rude about it. "WTF, THE TANK IS AN UNDERGEARED NOOB!!!" is unacceptable. Instead suggest that perhaps the current dungeon might be fairly difficult with the tanks current gear. You'd be surprised as to how far politeness can get you in-game. Another issue I've encountered is holding aggro, or the lack thereof and the associated impatience. For all intents and purposes, in this discussion we're going to assume a tank can produce adequate threat. If a single mob comes loose from the tank for whatever reason, don't assume that the tank can't hold aggro especially if it only happens once or twice. Help the tank (and the healer) in these situations. If it happens multiple times, then perhaps DPS needs to pull back and stop taking aggro from the tank. I know it sucks, but it may be necessary, especially if the tank isn't highly geared. And since we're on the subject--do us all a favor and turn OFF Recount. The next mage or dk that I get stuck with that insists on reporting Recount after EVERY (or any) fight is getting stabbed with a rusty spoon!
