A silly thread, I know, but am I the only one who feels this way?

I doubt that you are. Especially with how much has been made of player performance in dungeons, it can feel as though you're under a lot of pressure before you've ever set foot inside an instance.

There are things you can do on your part to help make sure that your first runs go smoothly. First and foremost, you can seek out friends or guild members that you can run the instance with who will be patient and tolerant as you figure things out.

If that's not an option, then instead of joining the Random queue, you could queue for a specific dungeon instead. Perhaps having the opportunity to read up about the bosses or watch videos of how to beat them before you run the instance will help ease any anxiety you have about plunging in.

Finally, it never hurts to read up on your class, how to get the most out of it and what it takes to optimize your performance. Players on the class and roles forum are sure to have recommendations regarding up to date and useful resources you can consult. Since dungeons are a cooperative effort, making yourself an effective team member will probably be appreciated by your party members.
