Feedback on griefing for DPS pulling in a dungeon

Hello! I'm not used to posting on forums but I need feedback. Dungeon was Tender Valley, I'm playing ranged DPS as MCH. I pulled 2 groups of trash : the one just before the second boss and the first one after the second boss.

When I say "pull", I mean that I was the first doing damage to one enemy, being a ranged DPS doesn't help. Usually I like to combo that with stuff like "Bind" or "Heavy" since these role actions are pretty useful, and the idea was to group them in a "V" position, use Arm's Length so the tank could use their AoE to pick them up after I landed the Slow debuff on them.

The first time went perfectly well and the dungeon was going actually well, with good damage (one of the DPS died on first boss but they were new to the dungeon). The second time, as the enemies were drawing on me, were slowed down and then picked by the tank, the healer rescued me as I was running after the mobs that the tank had picked. I use the emote /no to signify my disapproval of being rescued for absolutely no reason and then looked at my log to realize both tank and healer were from the world and from another server. I play on Light (Alpha) and they were from Chaos. I assumed they were playing together, knew each other and therefore shared the same values, a bit like an echo chamber.

I'm not hiding the names because I'm not hiding mine either and I'm taking responsibility for my words and actions by posting here so that will extend to the other players involved. And YEAH, I know the pictures are big and may impact the forum view, I'm sorry for that but if I scripted the conversation, or used an AI to do it for me, I could give the impression that I altered or truncated something. I'm not sure image integration will work properly so I put the links to the conversation below.

So can I ask the community for their feedback? Sadly I didn't record this run, it's just "another run" in a roulette, so you only have my word about one thing : there are 8 trash mob pulls in this dungeon, and I pulled 2 of them. It happened a third time after but the tank went afk after the arrowed tiles (before the very last pull) so I started doing damage and the tank went like "one moment please". The healer refused to heal me and let me die. I raised by myself to avoid the damage debuff.

Please tell me what I really did wrong from the PoV of ToS, because a DPS pulling for a tank to pick mobs after them is not unusual, and I remember times when it was common for, say, a DRG, to jump into a group of mobs to prepare the pulls for tank. As a tank main myself, I have seen many DPS do that and usually they do it to make the run faster and help with mits, as I did. For me, this has never been a problem, whether I'm playing tank or DPS. What's your take?
