Worst performance you've ever seen in a Heroic

Went to LFD Stonecore and right off the bat healer said 'he would not heal tank if he proceeded to pull in that gear'. Tank immediately started accusing healer noob and whatnot spiced with swearing. I inspected the pally tank and he had a mix of DPS and some tank gear, no enchants nor gems and
a lvl 80 pvp shield.
If that wasn't enough, he had all points in prot tree, refused to use CC and wasn't able to hold aggro at all. It was the first time I've seen tank getting kicked out of group :)
Nothing wrong in lvl 80 pvp shield. Shields arent really common if you dont quest and just run dungeons or gather.

You shouldn't be tanking with one though.
Hell, they have JP shields, RUN ENOUGH REGS FOR IT!

Why run regs if you have enough ilvl to run heroics and get proper shield there?
JP shield is beautiful, but that shouldnt be the case.
Only thing shield offers you atm is stats and armor. No more block value.

I just had to heal a guild group of 4 in ZG where the destro lock did nothing by Seed of Corruption spam on aoe, and incinerate on single target. He had 4k dps overall, and spiked to 6k a few times on bosses....

If this was regular Stonecore, your only options are the crafted Obsidium Shield or to get lucky in BRC and get the shield off the first boss. In a case like that, I can see using a level 80 shield as there isn't any other options. Also on the gear note there isn't much in the way of tanking gear unless you go for the crafted stuff right off the bat, so it's not really uncommon to use a mix of DPS gear (hopefully reforged) when tanking the initial Cata dungeons; of course that doesn't excuse this particular tank for seemingly just being stupid (if you know you aren't fully kitted out in good tank gear, you should pull slowly and make use of CC/Kill orders to make the run smooth; Tanking 101).
Now if this was HEROIC there's no excuse as you get a iLevel 333 shield from a trivially easy questline when you ding 85 that serves you well into heroics until you either get the JP shield or one of the heroic shields.

Armor and stats that will make the entire run much easier on the entire party.
And because ilvl=/=skill. As a tank, I waited until I was well above the ilvl in my legit tanking gear before getting into tanking heroics.
Hell, DPS the heroics if you can't stand doing the regulars. Just make sure you have the best gear you can before you go and f*ck up someone's run by not being prepared to tank.

Two in particular..
My guild was running BH. I was already saved on my main (who's DPS), so I naturally wanted to bring my alt resto druid.
Seeing as how they didn't need any healers, they told me to go kitty and just DPS.
My feral set is full of fail. FULL of it. I pulled an amazing 3.5k DPS (I never bothered to look up rotations or anything.. lolol). I did warn them ahead of time that it wouldn't be pretty.
I ended up leaving with a crystal, when they were uncommon to get. People raged, but I lol'd. :D
...Yet another BH run, this week actually, we invited a pug ret pally who had 9.1k GS. We figured it'd be ok.
5.5k DPS he was pulling. I couldn't fathom that. That's not right. Not at all. I could out DPS that naked. :\
If MS is resto, why OS isnt boomkin?
You would do much better DPS with same resto gear on moonking
Eh, I was never a huge fan of Boomkins, tbqh. I'm used to feral and resto, seeing as how those were my specs for Wrath. I just choose not to work on my feral set. :3

healer was in epic pvp gear, i thought "ok, thats fine. maybe he'll be ok" nope. the only heals he put out were HoT (rejuv etc.) lets just say he got kicked after the tank and a few others died 3 times.

I've got a new one:
I was tanking heroic BRC and cleared to the first boss where we proceed to engage and kill. First time he chains us, we kill it and run, healer gets killed along with a random dps. That kind of thing happens so I battle res the healer and we keep at it. We gather an add in the process, the boss chains us again and we kill and run. Healer gets killed again. Despite the add and the deaths we manage to get the boss down to around 20% but I've blown all my cds already so wipe is certain.
Now for the really fail part:
We try again. I explain the fight, since clearly some people aren't getting it. This time removing the add and then engaging the boss. Everything is great until the healer dies again from not running away after the chains. My br is on cd so I try to keep myself alive as best I can. Since there are no heals dps start falling one by one until I finally succumb with the boss around 50%.
The worst part:
They vote me out of the group despite me doing 9.5k dps, dealing top damage and doing 30% of the total healing as tank. I kindly whispered a group member I passed on the way out of the graveyard and suggest they check the healer. Next I re-qued and got Grim Batol and proceeded to roll the place with competent heals and dps.

4 hours ago getting my last JP reward for the week.
Stonecore
Death Knight
He had an intellect ring, some agility gear, kept yelling at the shammy healer to heal him and he was in blood spec ( he was dps), when he was in frost he had talents into Threat of Thassarian but didn't dual wield.
I was the 3rd to leave the group. I did finish my last JP reward the next group in VP.

I'm a new tanking dk and used the dungeon finder to do my first Zeroic... My main is a combat rogue, We get ZA, I've been so many times on my rogue that I have a pretty good clue what I need to do. So we get to the bird boss and down him quickly and I notice that I'm top dps in 347 item level, so we get to bear boss and then I'm still top dps, we had a mage, warrior and a combat rogue. So we get to the 3rd boss and we die almost instantly.. I told the rogue and mage to get the left add and I'll tank the boss on the right... their dps was so low and they were so slow they couldnt get the adds down.. The rogue was a 356 and was doing 4.5k even with the 15% damage buff! I was like WTF! I do 20K in here all the time since 4.1! I tried too boot and I didnt notice that I was the only non guildie in the group and I got booted. lol
You were better off without that group, chances are they wiped 20 times.

2h Frost DK in mostly epics, a bit of pvp gear. Tank trinket
Impetuous Query
but thats about it. Zul Aman.
Doing 2k-8k damage by guess what - avoiding to use two of his spec most damagic attacks: Obliterate and Frost strike.
He spammed Howling Blasts and sometimes Plague strikes and occasinally (i mean occasionally, because he was at 130 rp for like forever) he would go out of melee range into like 8 yards and did a couple of death coils. Had no heart to tell him that you can death coil from melee range. Instead i told him he is doing it wrong, by not using the above skills and playing a range DK.
He told me to shut up, because what i am doing is lame and he just plays to have fun. I told him that he may want to to keep having fun like this when he is alone, because atm he spoils the fun for 4 people that have to carry him and proceeded to try to kick him (had to wait 15 minutes) - he just /lol'ed.. I mean really?

For the first time in a while, I decide to hop in and tank a heroic.
Heroic Grim Batol, nothing major. One of my favorites actually, the pulls are super-easy.
The first room seems to take pretty long... wierd, I make the first pull anyway. After ten minutes, the healer and I finally kill them.
I check everyone after mass rezzing. All three are guildies in FULL GREENS, obviously ilvl from their bags. Not a single one could have been over 316 equipped.
I explain the problem and get kkicked so fast my head spins...

I was doing ZG last night without my guild (because I seem to be a masochist) and zoned into a group in progress. Right off the bat my metric sh*t-ton of repair bills sense goes nuts, probably because another player in the group immediately whispered me and told me that this was going to be bad. But as I said, masochist, so I derp my hunter butt to the first boss and help finish clearing the two large mobs there. I notice that the tank and heals are from the same server even as they start gossiping about RL crap in party chat. Okay...no big deal, just get through it and all should be fine, right?
No.
As the group nearly fails the idiot check that is
Venoxis
, and by sheer force of will alone did we make it I became aware that this was going to be unfun. We ride towards the next boss and the pally tank, brilliantly decked in his ret PvP gear, pulls all three mob packs while caps locking for us to kill them. So, we die. Four times. 'Cause this guy is a clearly a master tactician. Get past them finally, just before I start foaming at the mouth and chewing on my keyboard to face the next boss. The dps all unload and pop CDs on this guy, burning him down in record time for most of us....and having used all but one of the rez spirits, 'cause the "tank" kept dieing due to the ground slam. I figure things are getting better and maybe they are good players just being d*cks as we ride towards my favorite boss, the
crazy cat lady
. The "tank" say he wants to kill the master chef and I am fine with this so we head that way and do so without a problem. Keep in mind there has been a steady stream of pointless personal info flowing through chat.
Til he asked us to help him kill all of the Jews.
Yep.
He then went after the neutral mobs around the chef's area and started gathering them up, all the while caps locking that we need to help him kill all of the Jews. I told him that the racism thing was kinda uncool and could he not go there. Can you guess how he took that?
It was at that point I might have snapped. I vaguely remember saying something about lead paint chips, mouth-breathing and possible parental neglect in the form of falls from great height onto his head and promptly left group.
I now have a firm rule: If someone from the group I join goes "they suck", I bail and play Peggle til the deserter debuff goes away.

ZG.
Cat boss. After we kill it cloth spirit shoulder drop. Everyone hit de. In the same moment balance druid says: EVERYONE GREED. As soon as the item gets disenchanted he goes: YOU IDIOTS!.
We are like, what? Dont say you were going to wear that? You will loose over 200 intelect from armor mastery. And he is like: No. And we are like: Yes. And he keeps his: No. And we keep our: Yes.
Than he pasted spirit cloth tunic gemmed with spirit (no intellect) and he says: No i wont i am already wearing cloth.
We are like: ...
Than he proceeds to call out other cloth drops we are supposed to greed for him (or else he calls us idiots in caps i pressume). We carry him up to final boss where he is supposed to kill small spirits. After an obvious wipe due to too many spirits and people putting slams in wrong spots and tank needing to kill the chains because dps does who knows what, I check his damage on spirits and guess what. He used Starfall and Ancient Treant Attack doing whooping 2k damage overall. We booted him.

Tbh, im not too proud of it, but the worst ive seen was myself. NOTE: I play in an RP server.
So i had my RP gear on, as a level 85 prot pally, i had a whopping 89k hp. So i que for cata regular dungeons because i got all the vp from trolls and cata heroics. The entire dungeon nobody says anything, and we surprisingly get to last boss. Our luck ends there. We get it to about 40% hp and i died. Nobody said anything, just kicked me, took me about 30 seconds to realize it.
