  The typical "tank pull" goes something like this:

The tank is buffed and told to pull.
The tank signals readiness to pull by chugging ale until he weaves and commenting on the druid's breasts.
The tank departs and the druid bitterly starts listening to Ani DiFranco tunes while she meds.
The tank returns suddenly with about four dangerous and upset MOB's on his tail.
The tank says "Incoming!"
With the exception of the druid, who is still jamming with Ani, the group leaps into coordinated action, focusing their attacks on the group's bard.
The bard's instrument is vigorously lodged in his rectum so that the party can target the enemy.
Acquiring your target by assisting the puller, you light off your most potent nuke.
Your target rushes you, and you summon the tank to your aid saying "ON ME!"
 
           
 
The cleric pulls the remaining 3 MOB's off the tank by healing him.
The enchanter highlights the MOB attacking you by casting mesmerize on it.
The tank, guided by the blue flash, rushes to attack the mezzed MOB.
With mez broken, the MOB continues to pound you while the tank attempts to taunt it off you.
Taunt succeeds a few seconds after you die.
The cleric, forgotten in all the excitement, is killed by the other 3 MOB's.
With the cleric dead, the tank panics and trains his MOB to zone; meanwhile, the 3 other MOB's pounce on the medding/grooving druid.
The druid prepares to evac while the enchanter prepares to mesmerize the MOBs off her.
The bard extracts his instrument from his nethers and strikes up a tune, taunting all the MOBs off the druid.
The enchanter mesmerizes the bard.
The bard dies and the druid evacs to safety with the enchanter.
Of course, it doesn't always go this well, but this is the general idea.
