Worst performance you've ever seen in a Heroic

And really? I've seen DW tanks do quite well, if not better, in heroics. Not Zandalari or Raids, but in mere heroics, it's doable. The only thing they suck at, is threat. And in random heroics... threat shouldn't be any issue. If it is, that's a lack of skill, rather than a wrong weapon.
No. Just no. There is no excuse for any DK to DW tank even for heroics. Sorry Mr. These Weapons Are Better Than My 2-Hander, I really cannot believe the missing damage and threat are still better than any 2-hander you more than likely vendored or passed on while leveling. Don't see a pally or warrior tanking w/o a shield do you? You may as well be using a main hand only, it's the exact same effect.
If you dont have the gear to tank, DO NOT TANK! The enjoyment of the 4 other people in the group is more important than your insta que. When I die 9 times from pulling aggro off you then your getting kicked.
If you don't want to play the game right, don't play it at all.

I used to fury tank on my warrior.
Then Cata went and broke it.

I had a Heroic/Zandalari gear pally tank in Zul'Aman gem'd nothing but stam. The pally healer yelled at him for it (after he died twice and wiped us one of those times), he dropped group right before Nalorakk, got a new healer, the old healer went tank, and we oneshot everything past that.

On that subject:
Just now, i queue for HoO on my Prot Warrior. Part for fun, part for the satchel.
Though it was kinda fun(ny), it's one of the worst performances, by multiple players i've ever seen.
Shaman healer has "poor" gear, but no biggy. Let's see what he can do.
He got the job done fine btw..
So i assigned some cc to help him out, the first few packs still hurt afterall.
Rogue saps. Shaman (healer) hexed. Pull.
Then, it starts:
Pack 1:
both cc's get broken by the hunter en warlock
Pack 2:
both cc's and a re-cc gets broken by the hunter. I link "cc-breakers".
Pack 3:
they seem to have learned. Nothing bad here.
Boss 1:
I pull. Hunter has set his pet on growl (didn't before). Dps is low, but w/e. We jump, except the hunter. Boss gets freed. Pewpew. Jump again. This time the rogue stays up. Halfway through, he interrupts the boss for some reason, causing it to evade and voila, boss is full hp again.
Hunter dies from lasers. Fight takes another 3 mins just nuking the boss, with a healer nearly oom because of people standing in the "lasers".
Pack 5:
Nothing bad again...hmm, weird.
Elevator. This is when the hunter and warlock decide we should do all bosses. So i tell them, yea, no thanks, not while the last boss took 3x as long as should've been. They promptly leave.
New hunter and a paladin enter.
Pack 6:
The new hunter breaks cc. At least he appologised.
Elementals: Both the rogue and paladin die on fire aoe. Had to free 2 bubbles on water elemental myself, then i got trapped. Pala dps seems very low, i didn't look into it at this point.
Boss 2:
Takes ages again. The rogue dies from the 1st voidzone that gets dropped. Hunter's dps is low, about 9k, low, but fine for his gear. The paladin however, does a whopping 3k dps. Apparently his rotation was a divine storm, a crusader strike followed by a templars verdict (with 1 hopo stack) and a hard casted exorcism. While using Seal of Insight.
Last trash pack
Needless to say, the paladin and the rogue died from exploding elementals.
Boss 3:
Took ages ofc.. The pala got to a whopping 5k dps, and that's with the buff. But at least nobody died.
And what did i get for my trouble?
Two mana potions. On my Warrior.
Sorry for the wall of text.
Just had nothing better to do :P.

Myself (lol) on heroic Corla....I take the mob on the left, get 80 stacks and move back. I've still got 7 seconds of debuff when the mob evolves and we wipe. WTF? It's only when I see 2064ms of lag that I understand.
The rogue in the group says "(name deleted) you cretin" followed by :
"You have been........."
/weep
Its nothing to do with lag - if you had a pause while taking those 80 stacks (moved out and than back in) it will feel like this.

If I move out of the beams at 80, but the server thinks I haven't, then the server will evolve the add even though my client knows I am well out of the way.

Lag is a delay.
If you get out at 80 its not possible add gets evolved - its only possible you get mced.

gah... I kept thinking about me getting evolved, but typing about the add being evolved. /slap self

Was doing a quick heroic last night.
Mind you I am only just geared enough for a Heroic Vortex run. So I jump on with a guildie and we are doing a quick run.
We are going through and here I am thinking that these guys are taking longer to kill than usual. Looking at recount, I'm in second (surprisingly with a F-DK coming first by a good amount) and Third is tank. The 85 Mage is doing about 2-3k dps. When asked what the hell she was doing she muttered something and then left lol.

I just had a bad ZG run myself. Had a pally tank, with what looked like great gear from the start, as he was chilling with just over 200k hp, so I thought it was gonna be a smooth sailing run. Ends up with him not knowing any of the fights, proceeds to tank the first boss on the stairs in the poison, leaving me useless on my warrior to dps. Luckily we downed the boss after he died, and upon inspecting all his gear was gemmed for haste, strength, stam. It's funny to see what RDF will give you for a group...
