Tanking is knowing that by taking a bit of damage you allow your team to do a lot more. If what you're doing is leaving your team exposed, you're not tanking. If you're dying with little-to-no gain, you're not tanking.

What?
You engage - you tank the dmg your team is winning - your team backs out - are you tanking or are you not?
ABlueQuaker1 votesYou're Tanking. If your team backs off for no reason, it's not your fault. If your team pings for you to back off and you keep tanking THEN it's your fault if you die because you're needlessly Tanking Damage.
