Most of the time I am tanking 5 man instances with random people. I usually open fights against multiple targets by casting Rejuvenation and Regrowth on myself for additional aggro. Also the healer doesn't have to start to heal me too early. After that I use Enrage when it is not on cooldown. Then I pull the group with Faerie Fire and use Feral Charge. Or when other groups are nearby and the group has casters I break line of sight to make them run to me. Then I use Demoralizing Roar and Maul and use Faerie Fire on the targets on after another. When I have enough rage I am using Swipe in between. If the party members give me the first few seconds of a fight to do this I don't have any aggro problems at all.
But often it is the case that the party is very impatient. People pulling mobs with abilities that cause a lot of aggro. The healer has to heal multiple party members early on. The damage dealers don't focus on a target and the whole group that got pulled is spreaded among the party. This gets even worse when my Enrage ability is on cooldown as I can barely generate any rage in this scenario. That is very frustrating. Are there some tactics I can use to deal with those situations? I am currently level 38 so I perhaps don't have all abilities available druids can have later on.
I tried to communicate this with some groups. And when they really listen and see how effordless a run can be when they just give me the first seconds of a fight they adjust. But unfortunately it barely happens.
Maybe I'm just bad at tanking being seemingly unable to deal with those situations
