Get in, get out, get the loot, get the exp, get it over with; just how LFD goes now a days.

I hate this when I enter a dungeon on an alt and notice I don't have a champion tabard equipped - last night I ran back out of the dungeon after the first pack just to equip my tabard. Sometimes people don't even bother to get out of combat to allow a rez - way into the dungeon, of course, so running back in would cost more time than "drop combat for 2 seconds to allow the healer or someone else to start the rez cast".
More than once, though, this rushing behavior left me outside of the boss room.

In my experience it's been the same since the days of the Lich King but I've mostly seen it happen when the tank is not alone in it.
For me it's usually been the tank running with an overgeared DPS or healer friend making it possible to do without risking the tank dying. Not as much suicidepulling as others have described.

Also because I can
solo heroic MoP dungeons
. I do 80% of the total damage and healing. Not going to waste my time on slow people who pull extra groups of mobs because they arent paying attention. and do less dps than what most level 80's could do.
Seems like an uptight attitude from someone like me, but honestly people I come across in dungeon finder dont deserve my respect. usually 1 in 100 people I come across, I respect.

Pretty much exactly this. I can solo Heroic dungeons no problem, and since I only run it for Valor or helping a friend, and don't particularly enjoy them, I want to finish them ASAP, so I'll chain pull.
The tank sets the pace, and the rest just needs to keep up with him. I'll wait before bosses to make sure everyone is in the room, but that's it.
If someone asks me something politely I have no problem answering a question or waiting for them to grab a quest, but I'm not going to wait for people going AFK or just not keeping up.

Most of the time, its because the tank can solo the dungeon. I do it on my low level tanks as well, why wait whenever you can 3 shot a lot of the mobs? I'm past the point of stopping to smell the roses on the 8th run in a row as well really.

Fix'd. Not all tanks. A decent tank will wait if they see the party is still learning or if something bad happens.

I usually play a DK, and my responseis easy.
If we don't chainpull, someone else will.
Also, everyone will be angry for something. One dungeon run it's the healer screaming "gogogogog" for waiting before a boss. Next dungeon run it's the other healer berating me with "You pull too fast, kick tank". No matter what I do, it's my fault.
For myself, I try to run in a pace where I know everyone is keeping up, but none gets bored. I'm the tank who's likely to wait for that stray DPS who wanted a quest, or the healer who needed to buy water, however I often find myself in a situation where, if I do not do as someone, normally the healer but not always, says: I can and WILL get kicked out of the group, because the other guys, including the one I waited for on most part, clicks yes.

I learned to live with running tanks, but when I started tanking I noticed that DPS pulls if I'm not fast enough. When I ask why, they say I'm crappy tank. Even if I was, why pull even more mobs then? WTF ppl...

Whenever I go LFD with my druid healer for farm I just tell the tank to go dps if he's geared enough, seeing as it's not a problem for me, and it goes a lot faster.

It's not just tanks it's pretty much everyone.
That is the mentality these days.
Until Healers stop allowing bad tanks to behave that way, it will keep happening.
Until Healers and Tanks stop covering for bad DPS, it will keep happening.

I've now gone past the point of caring anymore what other people are doing.I've been playing long enough to have met every type of player and playstyle there is.If I've got things to collect or quests to do and they want to run off,I just let them get on with it and catch up when i've finished doing whatever it was I needed to do.
Had a healer the other day who refused to heal anyone getting hit by aoe damage,because all aoe damage is avoidable according to him.the run took 3 times longer than normal.
Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and bear with it for the 10 minutes you're gonna see these people for

I just gotta know! I'm not upset about it. As a priest player, I can handle the chaos. It's just something I've started to notice within the last few months or so.
Because they were all DPS in previous lives. Impatience and carelessness is the two pillars of them. What's the third? Nothing, that's why they always falling, and run ahead to try and stay on their toes.
