All of your previous replies are summed up in this quote. To Hell with anyone, it's just your way, or the highway. If you were as disposable as DPS, you'd probably have a very different attitude, but the shortage of tanks has allowed them to be the most selfish and stuck-up players in random dungeons, and you're making a meal of it.
A perk of being required is that your opinion matters more than everyone else's.
Don't like it? Roll a tank.

So I guess it's more like, I'm free to find another DPS (2 seconds of queue), you're free to find another group (20 minutes of queue). Your choice.All of your previous replies are summed up in this quote. To Hell with anyone, it's just your way, or the highway.

No, selfishness is when you're alone trying to pull a group in another direction for your own benefit. IE, you want to do all the bosses when the other 4 people want to skip. That's selfish.
Typical DPS mentality. Whine about how tanks are milking the tank shortage for all it's worth. What are you doing about the tank shortage ? Oh, right, whining and littering the queues with yet another #$%^ty DPS. Why don't you roll a tank ? Because you like to pew pew and see big numbers ? Because you can't be arsed ? How selfish of you.

What if I am a freah ding 80 doing random hopping to get more emblems and drops that might help my dps a little? Sure is a blue item and I know it will get replace in the next week or 2 but having something in the meantime to boost my dps is helpful.And I care about this, why? I'm not pulling optional bosses, sorry.
When I que up as a tank or healer or dps I am fully aware that I will do all the boss. If I don't want to do it I would do it with my guild.So you're a sucker. Most of us aren't.

Lol is tanks like you that I refuse to heal and let you die. So let's say you got H OK or H UK and H UP are you going to and complain coz you have to do all the bosses? Or you are just going to drop group? Tanks like you who are ingorant, disrespertful to the group, too much e-peen do not a any heals from me and get put on ingore.I'm going to skip the bosses and solo the instance if you don't help.
There is literally nothing that you can do to stop an ICC-geared tank in anything other than the ICC 5 mans.

Shadow Blast
40 yd range
6 sec cast
Hurls a bolt of dark magic at an enemy, inflicting Shadow damage equal to 80% of the target's maximum health.
good luck on that one.
See I just tank a random heroic and I ask the group if they want to do the optional boss 1 said yes and 2 said no. So we only did the boss we need. Is nice to ask everyone in the group after all is a group on a one man show. But you will never learn with your tank ego.Pro-tip: I'm not an idiot.
I have interrupts, and I can use them.
Thanks for pointing out that you are, in fact, terrible at this game though.

I don't enter the LFG as a tank because I don't have a tank set. I don't have the cash to buy tank gear at the moment. To be frank, I'm just not very good at tanking with my Death Knight. I like to when I play my pally, but I just can't seem to hold it down as a DK. :(
Not that we're terrible at deeps, mind you. I just feel I'd be doing any group a disservice by tanking in inferior gear while not feeling comfortable with the position I'm in. And I'd want to roll for DPS gear, because, well, I'm DPS.

as a geared tank who only does these for the badges (well, i heal them now since I am learning my offspec), my goal is to get in, get done, and get back to Dalaran to plot out my time playing.
i will likely say it... as in Halls of Stone "We're going Brann and DONE" and OK "we're jumping off the ledge and running right to the Herald".
i state it, not ask it as a question, but I have had people ask if we can do an optional boss occasionally. When someone deliberately asks, I am not a monster, and unless I am literally late to a raid or to leave for work (i play in the mornings sometimes), then i can add another 5-10 minutes to my run time with no problem.
tl;dr: i wait for folk to ask, instead of universally adding 10 minutes to my daily chore without knowing someone actually WANTS it
