Taking advantages of certain classes

Well.. every class has a unique aspect that other classes like and enjoy having in raids and instances but somehow get abused constantly especially by players who expect it and take advantage of it to the point it #$%^es people off .. If anyone agrees or disagrees pls feel free to reply
I will start with Warlocks since is the class I play.
1) Summoning Ritual.... just because we can summon inside the instance or raid with the help of 2 people.. doesn't mean that if we are running Kara and you need repair u need to hearth back to Shatt, Stormwind or IF or wherever ur hearth is set when there is a repair person somewhere in the instance and you are just too lazy to find it.. Also ask if there are any enginneers in the group with a repair bot... chances are 50/50.. Most of warlock spells are rituals cost soul shards which we can farm no problem but it is extremely annoying that we have to use them on someone who decided to be lazy..
We can summon a party member if one leaves the group no problem... but if u see us farming shards during the instance which I personally think is the easiest way to do it.. Think about it.. We may be low on shards...and if we are low on shards we cannot make any soulwells or soulstones for healers..
TIP: If you ask a warlock to help u summon someone.... first do not trick them into going into an instance with you its wrong.. second thank the lock for taking a moment of their time to do so and third..if you can tip the lock...
2) Soulwell... .. no one really take advantage of this one because healthstone r very good during raids and instances...
3) If soulstone is on cooldown.. Do not get mad at the warlock for it.. Its not his or her fault that that spell among with many others has a cooldown time..
I believe that is all regarding locks.. Moving on with Rogues..
Rogues have the lockpicking which is a money making deal for them.. All i have to say is when a rogue opens a lock box for u.. always tip them even if its 1g...... most rogues appreciate the tip...
Mages:
Mages can make food which is great if anyone is low on money and food during an instance and I personally call mage food ''lunchables''
Some mages put out a table without being asked. Others do it when asked.. But we should not take advantage of it.... Remember to thank mage for it... It may be costing them an item that is kinda expensive to get( I have a low lvl mage so im not at the setting table level yet.. if I am wrong I apologize)
Priest/Paladin/Druid/Shammy healers
Having a healer is essential during an instance or raid..
However when there is a pull keep in mind that the healer must keep tank alive then themselves then everyone else.. so if you are not one of the above. Do not start a fit cause u did not get healed fast enough and wiped.. So u wiped... boo hoo....either walk back to ur body or wait for healer to res u... and when healer is rezing u... please thank them..
I really dont have anything on Hunters BUT.. if you see one acting as a TANK! Think about this...It might be BHX taking over the toon and playing it horribly or they really are bad as hunters....
I don't have anything on Warriors so if anyone wants to add for warrios.. feel free

I don't think you can compare a single Soul Shard with the materials needed to craft Repair Bots. If only a single person in the whole raid needs to repair, there's no point in using a Repair Bot if you have a Warlock... or if there's a repair NPC nearby.

Just thought I'd add - if its a wipe, run back with the group. Really *!@#es me off when I (as a healer, even when I'm not) have to run back and someone decides they feel like getting a drink instead of running in, or just cba to run in. These people will never recieve a res from me, I care not how long it will take for them to run in :P

Hunter tank > healer tank, there is sometimes a reason why the hunter is purposely tanking :)
Also kinda annoying when the tank complains you won't give him arrows/bullets, then claims it's the hunters fault he has none (even though you've got none because they're BoP.)
I don't have anything on Warriors so if anyone wants to add for warrios.. feel free
Don't nuke 3 seconds after a pull then moan about getting aggro, especially when the tank severely outgears the instance - no damage taken = no rage = no aggro.

Most of this I agree with except your warlock part. Soulstones and Healthstones are set at the beginning and then at intervals throughout the raid. It only costs you a soulshard, which costs no gold. Bring a decent supply of shards with you, heck thats more fundamental than bringing your proper consumables. Whining about needing to summon someone for repairs then throwing out engi's repair bots? Maybe if you want to give them the primal fire, khorium, etc to make one! The raid is killing mobs, farm your shards, essentially free--compared to something that costs quite a bit to make.
I do agree about mage tables, I frequently get annoyed in bg's especially about the cavalier attitude and demands for mage tables. Depending on their server the reagents can be pricey, and the more bg's they need to do the more that could become a major cash drain. Take your own dang food to the bg! In a raid I can see them being asked to summon a table before it begins, one time should be enough for the night, possibly a time or 2 more if there are multiple switch outs or alot of wipes and that shouldnt be any big deal.
As to asking people to thank others, I agree everyone should, but you are running into the brick wall of differing human personalities and their own ability to be polite...we can all wish for a perfect world though :)

Debating who is more important - tank or healer - is a debate with no end. Probably the tank can be super-evasive and won't need heals. Or the healer will be so epic that he'll be able to heal through even on clothies. Or the DPS will be able to "pass" aggro around, so the mob won't get to hit anybody.
Please, no tank vs. healer in this topic. Very few people thank in instances at all, I don't think it's a big deal.
Plus, healers also need several sets of gear...
