Okay Wowhead, i know the title says Tanks but you can come from a dps or healer point of view aswell here.
In an instance, be in 5 man or 25 man, normal or heroic, guild run or PuG.
What really gets on your nerves?
I'll start:
Dps and healers who spam "GOGOGOGOGO" when their cooldowns are up, when you're waiting for your own, the healers mana or an afker.
Edit: Okay i've got some people below who seem "Confuzzled" with my cooldown problem so thought they'd make fun of it, lets explain this so we don't have any more problems, yes?
First of all, when i say "cooldowns" some of you are thinking i must mean big ones, say bloodrage and shield block, when i really mean things like Charge and intercept.
Someone posted pretty much saying that Charge and Intercept have so little cooldowns this will never be a problem.
Clearly the person who posted this either has never played a warrior tank or pulls and nukes alot slower than me, and with low lvl mobs (UK ghouls for example) they go down in seconds and the Dks and pallys are always at the next bunch before charge is off its CD.
Someone posted about rage oom never happening, which is just plain retarded and i'd like to adress this point in a very blunt way first, then i'll explain it.
Yes it still exists you plonker.
It still exists because:
1. "Why don't you have rage from the last fight" Good question, well its because i'm busy spamming cleave/shockwave/thunderclap and i'm overgeared for heroics, oh dear i'm avoiding alot of theese hits and not getting enough rage back for my AoE spam.
2. "Just use Berserker Rage or Bloodrage..." Well you see, Bloodrage is part of my problem there, almost always on cooldown (and DKs and pallys don't like to wait for those) Berserker Rage? Well what use is that is a dps is just going to run forward and take aggro from me before i've gained enough to even be hit?
Well this has all reminded me of something that really ticks me off, people who tank in a different way from me, yet feel the need to force their way of tanking onto me, as if it is the right way and i am wrong,
not a reference to religion..

I tank really really fast in heroics. So it really annoys me when a DPS runs ahead and pulls for me. Just don't.

DPS in greens.
I don't care if it's norm ToC or H nexus, I spent A LITTLE AMOUNT OF PLAYTIME to gear/gem/enchant properly when digging 80 because I had too, no reason you should'nt take at least some time at your gear before entering heroics.

All those things keep my RL rage bar full :/
Lately though, I'm tanking fast in heroics also. DPS who @#$%^ and moan that they don't get time to drink between pulls. Really? There's some law that states you
must
spam blizzard constantly, and you
must
join in at the beginning of every fight? You can't drink at the end of one fight and join in on the next when you're ready? Really? Just ^&*! off.
Note: I understand if they're undergeared and will slow down if so. However...Ulduar-geared? Then no, I ain't slowing down.
Rrrrrr! Boils mah blood, so it does.

Yea it really irritates me when people pull ahead of me while im tanking. I just sit back and watch the healer and dps scramble to stay alive when this happens. I don't put up with stupid BS that can cause a wipe because its just a waste of my time and everyone else's.
I also get very annoyed with half ass or lazy dps'ers like hunters auto shooting and only doing 1800 dps in full naxx25+ gear.
My friend is a clicker and that bugs me just to watch him play but thats on a side note :P

While I agree, I still pick up everything, because NOT picking them up just wastes time and causes a wipe. After the pull I usually say something like "Am I not going fast enough for you? Knock it off." When DPS pulls, there's no reason to punish the healer or the other DPS because you get ticked off at the one person who does pull ahead of you.
I'm usually pretty lenient on actual DPS numbers in heroics though. I know on my warlock I can be anywhere from 2k DPS up to like 4.2k DPS from pull to pull. The pulls are so short that RNG on your crits is the determining factor. In hVH for example, on any individual portal guardian, I do an Immolate, Curse of Elements, Conflag, and like 3 Incinerates. By that time the mob is usually dead. If I can get a second Conflag in on the mob, or if I have my Conflag and 2 of 3 Incinerates crit I can pull 4k+. If none of my four spells happen to crit I'll be down in the 2k range.
Yes, if a hunter is just auto-shooting then you can pipe up, but in general I don't care much what the DPS figures are on heroic trash.

Yea porcell, now that I look at it that way, it is hypocritcal of me to do that and get mad when people do stupid things to cause wipes. Suppose I should just pickup the adds off the other people and just let that one dps take a beating or just finish the pull and give him a piece of my mind afterwards. It still annoys the crap outta me when it happens.

this may sound arogant.
but it really annoys me when i see dps who've been 80 for quite some time, have done alot of heroics, and are online quite often. . .dealing less then 1.4k dps.
it really gets to me.
it irritates me because i put quite a bit of effort into getting to where i am with my warrior. . .i can't stand people who have no excuse for not pulling more of thier weight.
gearing well is no longer much of a problem with the emblem changes. . .and it doesn't take long to do a google search and figure out what you should be chanting/gemming, what's a good rotation for your class/spec. . .etc.
it just annoys me when i see people i don't believe put alot of effort into their characters. . .but instead expect to be carried through everything for thier gear.
again this probably made me sound arogant.
. . .
oh and:
Yea it really irritates me when people pull ahead of me while im tanking.
lol i have a druid healer i run alot of 5 mans with (we've been in game friends for a long time) does this all the time with me.
personaly i love it when he does haha. makes things alot more interesting for me, and keeps me on my toes.
on the other hand if i was in a pug and someone i didn't know started doing this. . .yeah i'd be quite angry too.

Dps and healers who spam "GOGOGOGOGO" when their cooldowns are up, when you're waiting for your own.
If you ever heard that, you gotta reroll. You dont fit into warrior category.
Maybe we are thinking of different cooldowns?
I'm talking about the dps who spam that within the few seconds it takes Charge to cooldown, so you can get ahead of the DKs and Paladins before they faceroll the aggro right off you while you're on 0 rage..

1) I dislike dks and retpallys, just a general dislike from when i pugged heroics/normals as tank trying to gear up and they ninjaed MY tanking gear countless times. Or when dps specced (before dual specc) and joins a group with a prot pally and i think "Oh lovely! I actually get to dps this!" 3 more paladins joins, all of them are retlol dps and claim they cant heal, i have to tank and prot pally has to heal.
2) Dps warriors and friends of dps warriors who claim i cant roll on pvp drops in voa because i am tank and those are intended for dps warriors according to them.
3) Druids/mages who use that wave/wierd bubbly thing to knock mobs away when i have them nicely lined up for a shockwave. A guildie of mine does this just to irritate me, and he has some sixth sense about when i just are about to use shockwave and times it perfectly almost every time.

When someone begs to maintank. I rage and end up throwing my keyboard into my door and drooling everywhere.
What also !@#$es me off is DPS that go WAIT I DONT HAVE FULL MANA. I have a shaman, bro, and you don't need full mana to engage a fight.
People that don't buff also irk me. If I'm a tank, you should give me kings and not might, kay?
