Yeah, gogogogogogoggo works for Tier 8+ geared 80s in the Heroics up to ToC, but if the the entire group isn't heirloom'd out and knows what they're doing for classic instances, it will be a wipefest and take longer than careful pulls.

"Can we do all the bosses?"

Me: Ready?
Dps & healer: Yep!
Me: *Pulls group*
Healer: brb mom wants me to take out the trash /afk

My favorite situation:
Healer has 0 mana. I wait with the pull so he can drink somewhat. 20 seconds later, the healer is still showing no signs of trying to regg mana.
I think "Allright, if you think you don't need it..." and pull.
That exact second: "omgz! needz mana!".
I have that about every fifth group and I totally don't get it...

the mage decides to roll need on a plate belt that drops that i need on i get mad and we keep going another plate belt drops and he tries to ninja it but i win it and i say "good luck on your guys 40 min queqe now that you have no healer or tank" i couldnt kick him because the 3 dps were all friends
I cal SHENANIGANS! Mages can't roll need on leather, mail, or cloth. Also, you spelled "queue" wrong and have terrible grammar while telling a story about yelling at a person who was bad at spelling. =P
Anymore, but they use to be able to prior to the dungeon finder. Also I have queued in and been able to roll need on items that are out of class if the group formed fully on a different server aka group of 5 queued and I randomly filled a dropped spot (including orbs).

I don't hate it when people ask to do all bosses. I hate it when people assume you're skipping them.

The one that stands out in my mind was when I was running VH, and when the second boss popped out, all the dps (all Death Knights) popped army of the dead, before I could taunt, then proceeded to wail on the boss...
Naturally I just waited for the gouls to die then the Death Knights to pull aggro and then die.

Why? All they did was cast a spell that gives them a DPS boost and saves you money on gear repairs.
This is what I hate about whiny tanks. 'I will let you die if you use that spell that I don't approve of' is a remarkably common sentiment.

Never had a problem casting AotD on a last boss, Utgarde keep, Drak'tharon Keep, Halls of lightning where the fight is straight forward.

AotD is fine in heroics, know where to use it and where not to. Obviously the 3 DK in VH didn't know or didn't care, but elsewhere it's fine.
On topic, I'm never annoyed by anything while tanking. People on French servers are usually nice. I never met any jerks who liked to pick on me or other party members. I do meet bad players all the time though, but I don't mind it; it's only a heroic, if I have to carry them though I'm fine with that.

Because army of the dead should not be used in heroics.
On that note, I also attempt to kill off DKs who use AotD in heroics. Thing is, usually they use it on the last boss so I can't initiate a votekick, and I don't always get a chance to let them die.
You're kidding, right? What about the spell can possibly offend you so much? Chain taunt while the ghouls are up and the DK is GIVING you a free threat lead, reducing your repair bill, and speeding up the run.
If someone bakes you a delicious pie, do you slam it in their face and shout obscenities at their meringue-blocked ears? Like I honestly can't even see a small problem with this that you could be blowing out of proportion. I only see benefits.
Edit: It's possible the first post I was replying to said 'second' boss but really meant 'third.' In which case, yeah, spinning a dragon so that frontal cone might hit two players for 4k (OH GOD NO) instead of one is definitely worth being passive aggressive enough to let them all die.
Sorry, but I can't wait until Cata when five mans are hard again and tanks who decide that they have a right to kill anyone they like over stupid stuff ('I have seen someone use a different spelling of that tauren paladin name before, dammit. Lack of originality? You're dead, like, six times this run) will cause wipes and get /kicked and /ignored until they learn some manners.

Then again with harder heroics, to the same token, DPS who pull crap like AoTD on cleaving bosses will wipe the group all the same.
For the sake of pickiness, the frontal cone hits for 8k and applies a DoT. Yes, no big deal, but at gear level, that could become disastrous.
