You will never get to the end of WOW so chill out!

Wow so many stories... lol. First one i want to address isI have to admit, I am one of the madly rushing tanks described in this thread...I want excitement!I like the feeling of flying by the seat of my pants, of trying to react to bad situations, the simple rush of not knowing whether I am going to make it or not.while i do understand your point of view i still have 2 questions: why do you still do heroics if you are overgeared for them and want a challenge? and if you REALLY want to run in 5 men heroics and you want challenge why not try to use lower gear so that threat will be the challenge for you? Let me explain - i have 3 tanks, 3 healers and 7 dps all 80s if i consider all specs put together and believe me i have been in heroics in every possible role. And i always fond it annoying when someone is doing what you are. I can surely keep up but for me its the contrary - the fun of it stops. I will never say "be a slacker" just as i will never say "go straight to last boss no matter what". Oh and if you want excitement so much pick up an extreme sport as a hobby. Skying is my favorite but there are so many i'm sure you can find one that suites you. Trust me when i say a
true
adrenaline rush will never happen in front of your laptop.
Leveling my paladin tank (ofc he is retribution while i'm questing) i get in Uderbog i think and say "sec guys - need to change spec and get mana". During the time it took me to do these 2 things (say maybe 20-30 sec? at most) there was this dps who went "go go go" every 3-4 seconds. Upsetting but i got used to answering "chill chill chill"... TBH though i would SO MUCH like to be there next to that guy... not to hit him but rather to pour a bucket of ice-cold water on him. Also a lot of times when im tanking (i am checking healer's mana almost every pull) i am waiting for healer because i see him drinking and i end up having to get back aggro from a whole group of a dps. Someone said that these days people want to finish a heroic in 15 minutes - i would say more like 5 the way these people act. So yes when dps pulls on purpose after i ask him not to i let him die. On one occasion i actually let all 3 dps die before managing to grab aggro of the healer... but both healer and me survived :).
As a healer i was blamed for letting tank die after i asked for mana break (i was at about 90 mana left? in normal nexus as 70-71) both in /s and as an emote, and tank still pulled. He also accused me saying "you are lying - you had more then half mana", but luckily there was another dps who said that i was indeed oom and that i DID ask for mana break twice.
So yes i very much do hate these nonsense "rush through in5 min or less" instances. Again - let's do it and do it pretty fast if possible, but not so fast that it will prevent others to enjoy it as well.
P.S. - @ fuhrerschein - i am pretty sure that OP meant there is no ending to wow, and not to end-game raids / epic pvp. So presuming you are a smart guy/gal and you understood that, your comment was neither ironic / sarcastic nor did it make to much sense.

On my 35 warlock and just run along and tab corrupt/boa then retab again, but if the tank decides to grab like 10 or so mobs i stay with him and aoe when he stops.

I will run ahead many times no matter what anyone says. I wait for no one but myself. There are many heroic bosses I can solo. Can't solo all of them, but a lot of them. If the ones I can't solo I can run in and not need any heals for a good while.
