... you keep asking yourself where the nova´s brakes are (while again rounding a corner and gliding right into the enemy spawn). 
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
*...you spend a good 10-15 minutes stood around a Trainer at 6 and 20, writings binds.
.. you're doing a Council base mission and are in a constant dilemma whether to play in 3rd person mode (to avoid getting caught out in melee from behind) or 1st person mode (to make navigation and targetting easier)

You know when you're a Kheldian when...
...every other mission gives a sense of deja vu.
...people repeatedly tell you that they had a pb but deleted it cause it was [censored].
...you get blamed for team wipeouts.. beacuse the team ignores you telling them not to aggro the cyst crystal around the corner..
...you have 6 trays full of powers, and still want more.
...your backstory involes a kheldian and/or nictus. :P
...newbies are inspired by your new powers to get to lvl 50 as soon as possible.
...you look like you have your aura at lvl 2 when you jsut turned your shield on.
...you stick with the powersets you get and don't have to bother to get a travel power.
...you get to lvl 20 and feel that you can tank a quant or void with dwarf form.
btw guys I don't even have a kheldian yet.
...you run out of endurance no matter how many end reductions are slotted in your attacks/shields
...you realise you have to take hasten as no amount of recharge reductions will bring those powers back quickly enough and if you did you wouldn't be able to slot for endurance reduction and if you did both you wouldn't do any damage
...you didn't realise you had Shadow Recall for ages until another WS points it out to you when you're level 16. Then you realise you could have TPed all those slow team members over the Gulch for all that time...
(I'm a bit thick sometimes)

I'm so l337, they ask me on all my alts! 
you know you're a kheldian when...
...you can get loads influence by doing a few missions with your level 50 tehn getting someone to transfer it.
...newbies always ask you how did you turn into a squid.
...newbies always ask you how did you turn into a...big thing.
...newbies always ask you why all pb's take the same pwoer sets, same with ws'
...newbies keep asking what is easiest way to hitting level 50.
...you're not a newbie
...after a year of playing the game you finally succumb to posting on the forums to ask other people how your alt should be built properly

Had a PUG the other night as a level 27 SS/INV, in an 8 man group with an Ice Tanker and another Inv.
I didn't let the other two tanks get aggro for a minute because every time they had more than one boss on them they more or less instantly went down. They'd both missed several key defensive powers from their primary and hadn't dipped into the fighting pool. With no taunt or taunt auras either, the spines scrapper was actually pulling more aggro than them with Quills.
In comparison by level 27 I had 3 slotted Temp Invul, Unyielding and Tough, fully slotted Dull Pain and decent defense with a defbuff in CJ and 2-slotted invincibility. (And Taunt, albeit with only one recharge SO in it!) Tanks *can* be decent at those levels, but most people in your average PUG still seem to be more of the 'scranker' mindset... thinking that more attacks and passives > main "tank" defensive/resistance/taunt powers.
(And to keep this on-topic, If I had have had my dwarfie, his survivability would have been about the same as my INV tank providing he had a defense buff on him. Aggro-control would have been much worse though)
My personal bad...
...you take Quantum Flight and then hit the debt cap anyway due to forgetting that you have it (partly due to not playing any one character very often, and partly due to having a ton of shapechanging tactics in your head).
Nice avatar, Maelwys, I haven't played Golden Axe in ages.
... people tell you that you should "know better" than to do something perfectly sensible and innocuous, because having achieved level 50 means you must subscribe to every piece of heresay and speculative superstition that they have convinced themselves is true.
