Its viable im guessing, since all three specs can tank, and it is a tanking trinket, i'd see why he would need it. I myself wouldn't i prefer damage/threat trinkets myself.

At start of instance i linked the item and said i need it (abviously) everyone else said 'thats fine'
There wasnt any 'I need it too'
When it dropped everyone else in the group passed and said gz, while that guy needed.
This, I can completely relate to, and would completely be #$%^ed off if this happened to me again.
Even though blizz says they can't do anything about this crap, I believe this is technically "scamming" as you give the other person a feeling of safety and the chance for you to roll on it, while having a verbal (or written), non-binding agreement not to roll on it.

If no one is listening to the loot rules, why did everyone agree?
Yea I understand there's nothing "wrong" with ninjaing, but that wasn't my point, my point is that going against what you verbally said should technically be "scamming" not that blizzard gives a care.

I don't think that it's scamming, though. It's just dishonorable.
Heh.
That's what a scam is, to place a person under a safe pretense with the intention of deceit.

A similar thing happened to me today, a weapon I need dropped from halls of lightning, and the tank ninja'd it (again), I was furious, but it was "fair" and everyone has a "right to roll need on anything".
If an item you desire drops, and you are the tank, make yourself the master looter, if anyone has problems with you being master looter, replace them.
Next time I run halls of lightning, I shall be the master looter but given my luck I won't see it drop for another week.

You can bitch and moan all you want, the bottom line is !@#$ like this happens in pugs. The only way to counter anything like this from happening is making sure you agree beforehand who gets to roll if a certain item drops. Of course that is not a 100% guarentee, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
I generally run with guild mates and a 'Need if need' policy in heroics or 10 man Naxx.
Always nice watching the nerd rage that a bunch of pixels can generate in people though, entertaining thread.

Blackhide, I'm not convinced that you've read the thread, nor are you contributing positively to the thread.
The OP's done QQ'ing and the OP told us they had an agreement beforehand, just like you've said to do in your post.
While your post is nicely composed, you could stand to do a bit more reading to prevent repetition.

I'm almost laughing at the irony of me posting the above.

First off: QQ moar; you weren't the only one who needed it, so get over it.
Secondly: GMs will not help you with that sort of thing, as the item wasn't yours to begin with.
Lastly: My Death Knight would want that trinket, and I would definitely roll on it over you.
