i dont want to "waste" time accumulating unneccessary triumph emblems.
You're playing a game that is ostensibly utilized to fetter away time.
I find this statement ironic.

I needed to clarify on this more:I meant to say that you could easily do 10/25 VoA and get t9 and t10 that will you get in to ToC 10 which will just allow you to raid anything from there on out. What I'm saying is,through the new heroics and VoA,you don't really need triumphs to start raiding. You can just do thos easy things to get you geared enough to do nearly everything.
And don't double post.
O except VoAs might never drop something thats for your class, and with the GS idiots around, ToC is not an option for those below 4.5k GS. On rare occasion theres a RL good enough to take undergeared people and only to realize half the group is too dumb to get out of fire and needs more gear to brute force it. In short, triumph is needed unless VoA is super kind and ICC heroics actually dropped what you wanted...
Or you could realize that it takes more than a day to gear your character.

Out of interest for the people who say it isn't worth the time to do the optional bosses because they don't need the triumph what about downgrading them to heroism and buying gems?
They're always in demand and they fetch at least 100g on my server, more if you have a jc to make something of them and at only 10 badges you could get 1 from 2 days worth of dailies on average.
I know its less than you'd get from primordial saronite and you probably do this already but at least its something.

"Can we do all the optional bosses? It'll only take 5 minutes"
5 minutes? Are you serious?
Seriously. I cannot say it better than this guy.

for dps who may have to wait up to 30 mins to get into a dungeon, it would be more beneficial to do all the bosses, unless you are in a group that is going to keep going after the dungeon, also some people might want the practice of different bosses, then some for the achievements. i tank sometimes, and i always ask if they want to do all the bosses. it's no big deal since with gear now its not that hard to do all the bosses, and if you're doing it just for the frost emblems then as a tank it shouldn't be that huge of a problem to do a couple extra bosses. if anything its the polite thing to do, atleast for the dps who have to wait long

When I tank heroics I don't even ask if people want to do optional bosses... because frankly... it doesn't matter. They can either kick me and wait 15-20 minutes, try to cause a wipe... which usually fails, or just shut their mouth and follow.
Honestly, there are plenty of other and better avenues to make gold. Running heroics for a emblems to convert to gems is a slow process which (depending on server) will net anywhere from 100-120g per gem. Soloing a level 60-70 raid will easily net more... and its usually more fun.
All I'm saying is that either pay a tank to run you through, or suck it up and gather your badges anyway.
This is the attitude that really grates when trying to get anything out of heroics i know they get boring after a while but to the extent of demanding that 4 other people do what you want or leave? Why not do the reverse and if you want a fast random get a group in trade or pay 4 more to help you?
Thats the thing dungeons are (or where) about grouping up and assisting each other for xp and loot. At endgame we now have access to raiding gear which some of us need fair enough not everyone needs it or the badges to get it but really to go "do what I want or stfu and suck it up" most of us play these games to get away form that sort of thing.
As for the gems i only stated it to get around having useless triumph.
Sorry if this is overly personal I didn't intend it to be I'm just using your post as an example of the attitude I've come across more times than I'd care to mention trying to grind levelling gear for alts to the point that I may just have them hit 80 and wait for cataclysm.

Yeah, I always ask, or if it's my usual healer, say I plan on doing "optional" bosses. If a majority say skip, we skip.
