You @#%^ing ******!Follow

I pretty much only look at bosses, and bosses don't die fast enough for you to do 5k dps due to bad luck.

5k in a heroic?

That's terribad. I just finished Stonecore at 7k average. At level 82.

I'm in no place to be 'elitist' having only done BH this expansion, but it is SERIOUSLY aggravating when people fail badly.
Some stuff makes me think I am playing wrong, not them.
When I tank something on my DK, I'm usually top 2 DPS, with no threat or survival issues what-soever. This is around 8K DPS usually, except on trash, where it can skyrocket due to lucky BB streaks.
When I'm DPSing, and get a DK tank, they're usually doing minimal damage, skirting somewhere above Sub Rogues.
This makes me SURE I'm doing something wrong on my DK, even though there are no problems. Makes me think "Man, if I'm the only one doing that much damage, I MUST be doing something wrong to prioritise damage over something else."
Then there's the 5K group. Those people, who despite all odds, manage to do DPS that would have been sub-par in LK. I seen a frost mage doing 3K once. That should be statistically impossible.
These people aren't stupid, they don't lack some kind of 'magic touch,' they're just lazy or bad.

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH!

Applicable anecdote: a couple of weeks ago I was playing Starcraft 2 with a buddy of mine - 2v2 matches against two random enemies. Our enemies ended up being Zerg (which means early access to flying units to see up cliffs) and Protoss (which means 'warp in units anywhere on the map'). I was doing my thing nice and easily while suddenly an army marched into my base, even though I had guarded the ramp up to my high ground well. The Zerg player had used a flying unit to gain vision so the Protoss player could warp in his units straight into my base. We lost that round. A week later, I was doing random 2v2s, which means me + a random partner vs 2 random players. My partner made exactly the same mistake I made, and suddenly noticed an army marching into his base. I got angry about it.

I usually ask when I'm tanking if it is ok to skip. I'd rather skip but understand if people need gear, especially since my rogue needs the Thrown weapon off of the optional plant boss in HoO.

Exorcism spam would most likely do that for you yeah.

Which makes it all the more scary how some genuine dps specced people don't do more dps.

Guess that's why we seriously NEED the next round of heroic 5-toon nerfs in 4.1.

O.o

I started tanking on my dk...I think its actually easier than dpsing. As a dps I am constantly looking out for sources of damage, moving away from them, checking my cc targets, looking for adds to switch to. As a tank I just stand there and get beat on. Is that fire on the ground? I will back up a bit. I don't have any cc (dk), adds up? Dps will get them.

This is a bit of an exageration, but tanking is more fun so far for me.

Right up there with flightform on the list of awesome reasons to be a druid.

No, it's ridiculously easy. Blizzard spoon-feeds noobs so much that if you don't know how to play, you're pretty much a functioning ******.
