Speaking of halls of stone i just like it when the people in such a rush that they can't take the time to even do maiden of grief to help a fresh 80 then forget to talk to Brann and have to walk back for him

"You gotta be kidding. "Gettting to the stone guy" won't take more than 5 minutes TOPS."
Except when I get MC'd by trash and kill most of our group in five seconds flat. :(

I like my heroics to be fast.If I need triumph,I can do more heroics.I want my frost and that's it really.Besides if you really need Triumphs that bad,do another heroic.If you need Triumph's you aren't gonna be that much of an avid raider.
Because you are the only person running the instance, those other 4 people you have to work with (how demeaning!) are just NPCs, yes?
Besides it's not like people have to get emblems to gear up. We all know that as soon as someone dings 80 regardless of if it's their first or tenth character they get an ingame mail with a full set of raid ready gear...oh, wait.

My issue is not that a run might take 20 minutes. My issue is that people who want to do optional bosses are a) in the minority by a big margin, but complain about selfishness in others when they don't get their way, and b) slowing everyone, including themselves, down by doing optional bosses.

Most dps is not worth ressing. That's sad, as people join to play but all they add is burden.
With the ranked instance runs of cataclysm these 'dps' people will never see a tank again.

Good solution:
Matching people together who have a similar ilvl - this usually means those people have the same targets.
Usually this isn't too much of an issue, but sometimes, like the other day, i got grouped with people who were pretty much fresh 80's, 3 of which still had the ol' heirloom gear on.
As an ICC geared healer, there was a huge gear disparity, not that heroics are hard, you can do them without paying much attention really, just saying i want my 2x frost emblems and out - i dont want to "waste" time accumulating unneccessary triumph emblems.

I'd rather if the frost badges didn't drop as a final reward once a day.
This. The cause of all of this "omg i'm not doing optional bosses it will take too long" is the Dungeon Finder and the 2 Frosts each day. It's just made everything be a rush to the end to get the reward. I'm so glad Cataclysm is going to have a weekly limit on the "valor points" or whatever, so if you're raiding the endgame you'll get all your points from that and not have to bother with dungeons.

I'm kind of on the fence with skipping bosses. If I'm on my tank, I'm just there for Frosts. But if I see someone in the group is under 4.5k gs, they're usually wanting a few extra badges (especially a dps, seeing how their queue's are longer). When I see a lower geared player in my group I do all the bosses, no matter how many others QQ about it. I usually get a /w thanking me for getting him the extra badges. However, if the group is all over 5k gs, unless you're farming heirloom for an alt... yeah we're just going straight to the end.
On my other toons (dps and healer) I really don't care either way. I'm just along for the ride doing my job.
