What ticks you off in randoms?

I lol'd as they all died, requed, got that same group again, lol'd even harder, told them how bad they were, and left again
That happened to my group last week. The tank wiped us, yelled at the healer for not keeping him alive, yelled at the DPS for sucking, bla bla bla, then dropped group. We requeue and continued clearing trash, a few minutes later the tank pops back in the group. One of the DPS made a comment that the wipe was his fault for pulling the extra groups, he didn't say anything back. He stuck around for the rest of the run, but he never said another word.
So one thing that ticks me off in randoms is people blaming others for things that are their own fault.

The only time i refer to a player by class as opposed to name is when they have alternate charachters in their name....using a windows based KB i have no idea how to utilize them.

got a new one..
The guy/gal doing 3.9k dps in Heroic Grim Batol who then proceeded to tell the tank he didn't know how to do the fight (second boss) when he and I decided to just wipe it because the floor was completely covered with crap and we decided that the boss was never going to die. He was in good company though, the other 2 dps were doing 6k and 5k....

Hexing something, and IMMEDIATELY, it gets broken. And then I get yelled at for not re-hexing. Not much I can do at that point, since hex is on CD..
Usually I find its a DK spreading his diseases that does it.
Also: having someone tell me that its impossible to CC the Envokers in DM. Got told I was hacking when I Hexed one of them (after a quick Purge, of course)
Didn't get kicked, as both the tank and healer knew what I'd done...
Tanks pulling well before I load in. Yes, I'm on a slower system. I may still be loading in...sorry that I don't load an instance in under a second. Had one tank yell at me for not dpsing the first pull...when neither me OR the healer had loaded in when he pulled.

As of yesterday, dps who intentionally break cc as soon as a fight begins
We were at the last pack of mobs before asaad in vortex pinnacle (the ones in the blue triangle). Our mage was instructed to polymorph the adept once he had been pulled out of the triangle. So, the tank pulls the group out of the triangle successfully, and proceeded to pull them up the stairs. The mage cc's the adept as soon as he was outside the triangle. But, the dk dps decided to take matters into his own hands; he ignores the targets attacking the tank and decides to attack the cc'd adept, ofc breaking the cc. About 20 secs into the fight the tank is struggling for health, as is the dk (who soon dies).
Unfortunately the fight resulted in a wipe, all down to the dk's silly decision to attack the adept as soon as he was cc'd by the mage. The dk had broke cc a few times during the instance but none of us said anything (hell we survived each encounter and as long as we dont wipe it's ok).
So, after the wipe the dk had begun to rage at the healer for not keeping him alive. I've never been a healer before but i imagine it's very hard to solo heal two targets who are taking a ton of damage. The healer surprisingly says nothing. So, i told the dk to stop blaming the healer for his mistakes (his breaking of cc). The dk didnt take that very well and decided to rage at me lol.
We somehow managed to finish the instance. I still have no idea how a dk with pretty decent raiding gear would make such a silly move as to break cc as soon as it was applied.

I find doing randoms a pain in the ass been doing some so i can level up, im currently stuck on a quest only one i can find and im clearly not high enough level wise to complete. i get abused in randoms,kicked out the group and i never do nowt wrong. since when is it wrong to actually click need for stuff? and then others get pissy when i do and if i win. Example: other day was playing random just cos i clicked need i got abused then was demanded to hand over a item that id won fair and square and needed for myself, was told they wouldn't continue on otherwise so i left the group!

The obnoxiously long que times piss me off, as DPS (Mage) it usually takes 35 minutes plus to get into a Heroic instance, then spend the next week and a half running through it. Some of us have other things we need to do....I am fine with the instance taking a bit to run....with a good group they are usually pretty quick, but when they are fresh 85s with lower level gear and no clue about the new fights...it tends to take a bit. But there NEEDS to be something done about the long ques....if this can be "fixed" it will make playing this a lot more fun and allow more people the chance to gather Valor Points so we can all start running Cata Raids.
Hey, good news, I made up not only one but
two
possible solutions to fix long DPS queues:
First one is that Blizzard limits the creation of pure DPS classes and the choosing of DPS talent trees over tanking or healing.
Second one is of course Blizzard making an army of tank and healer bots that fill the instances when there are too many DPS queued.
Which one do you guys think is better?
On a more serious note, the one
and only
possible "fix" is, of course, more players choosing tank and healer specs. Naturally I do not want bad players (= players who play badly and are not even interested in learning) to pick those specs... but they should not be playing anyways.

I had a tank the other day after he died on a trash pull in Deadmines say "Healer WTF?"
I pulled out my trusty Recount numbers and said I pulled over 14K HPS on that encounter. Anything over 10K in a heroic I consider "high" and evidence that someone is doing something wrong. Learn to take less damage.
He didn't complain the rest of the run and we finished.

WHOOT?
That's damned useful info. Didn't know you can purge / dispell that.
I'm fairly sure you can spellsteal it as well.

Example A:
Lost City. Bear tank. He can't hold aggro worth a damn, and even spam-healing him, his health steadily drops like a stone in a well. Turns out he was using DPS GEAR that he's attempted to turn into tanking gear via gemming/reforging. But whose fault is it, really? The healer's of course. Because I can't heal for #$%^. Right. My bad healing is why you can't hold aggro. That kitty dps gear you're wearing has nothing to do with it. Nope.
I laughed.
Heal better.

What makes me mad is rude people who seem to get off on being mean to others. People make mistakes, you know.. it's not the end of the world. Even the "gogogo"ers don't bother me as much as just flat out mean people. I doubt they would act like that to someone's face.
My main is a prot/holy pally. I have a level 37 disc priest alt (my old main used to be a priest) and I was leveling her earlier. She's atonement specced and we all know that at this level, all you need are smites to heal. I got into Maraudon with a decent group. Tank wasn't great but fine enough. I was 4th dps with my smite spam and I kept giving my power infusion to the ele shaman to try to boost her dps (she was 5th). We queue for another and get SM: Armory. Midway through, the hunter accidentally pulled a single mob and that's when the nice, quiet group got hostile. The hunter and other dps (paladin I think) never said a word so it was just between me, the tankadin and the ele shaman (who was still 5th on dps despite my power infusions and stopping to drink constantly.. the tank and shammy were apparently a couple).
Shaman: who pulled that?
Me: Hehe, who cares? :) (seriously, the hunter and I killed the mob before anyone else even noticed)
Tank: People who are drinking
Me: so drink then :) it was one mob, it's dead
Shaman: I did already
Nothing else is said for 4-5 minutes and then out of nowhere -
Shaman: smiting doesn't make you any less annoying
Me: Huh?
Me: Well, beating you on dps must make me REALLY annoying to you
Shaman: You're healer
Me: Yep
Shaman: No wonder tank has to heal hiimself
Me: Really?
Shaman: Yea
Me: -links healing recount that shows I did 99% of the healing, with the tank contributing 2 word of glorys)
They didn't respond to that but instead decided to pick on a typo I made (I said loot instead of look.. oh noes). Calling me foreign (that's an insult?), special needs, etc. etc. I didn't respond anymore because they clearly were just being stupid.. but I did stop smiting and healing the tank and the tank died at the last boss because he didn't move out of whirlwind (despite him bubbling himself at one point and dropping aggro).
So, apparently because I just didn't care that the hunter pulled a mob on accident.. I deserved to be attacked. It didn't bother me personally but it just makes me wonder wtf is wrong with people?
