Worst performance you've ever seen in a Heroic

Caveat: This was normal ToT, not heroic, but I feel this is worth sharing.
So I learned something today. I found out that in determining what spec a player is, the game first looks at the player's stats and then spec. As a result, I give you all a
Restoration Rogue.
I promise I did not alter the image in any way. If anyone is curious, lvl 84 pulling 2k dps in an 80 dungeon. She had some better caster pieces than my elemental shaman.
still terribly geared
Intellect: +962
Spirit: +414
Strength: +715
And the 2 stats that are actually useful to a rogue?
Agility: +1042
Stamina: +3679
She has more combined Int/Spi than she does Agility.......
I am seriously considering making a lvl 1 toon on her server just so i can explain to her how to gear properly.
Atleast the guild name is accurate (although spelled incorrectly).

Hello.
This isn't exactly a case of worst performance, more like a big idiot runing the work of the rest of the party.
A random zandalari run, we get Zul'aman.
I check the group and see:
Tanking druid (myself)
Holy priest
Frost DK
Moonkin Druid
Arcane mage.
As most of the players i belive, i was thinking about doing a timed run, so i check ppl gear and confirm everyone is quite equiped for a timed run. So i make the suggestion. Everyone agrees. The mage tells us he already has a mount but he's up for a quick run. And we go for it.
Now maybe im wrong but when i did some timed runs before, the mage/shaman would Time Warp/Blood lust on the first boss and have it ready again for the 3rd one (or saved it for the last).
So i ask the mage to pop TW just before pulling the boss... nothing happens.... Ask again after the first eagle "snatchs" a player, yet no "speedy thing" appears.
We move to the second boss, where i yet again ask for a TW. No luck.
On the path to the 3rd boss. On the first grp (right after the lonely scout) the mage decides to "skip" that group by going near the right wall (still wonder how we can do that since theres another group just behind the wall) and agroes both grps. We wipe :(
Everyone rushes back, we get the 3rd boss with around 8 min left. Really tight, but i only give up when the timer ends. The path of frost from the death knight saves us a lot of time on the water. And i alert the healer/dps im pulling 2 grps of those "inivisible lyons" Its all or nothing for me.
The priest was AMASING keeping me alive, i used my CD there as i knew lots of damage was incoming. Yet he did great keeping us alive.
Then after getting the 2 grps i read a message from the mage "We wont do this on time im off" and leaves.... leaving us 4 dealing with 2 grps and waiting for a new dps. The 3rd lyon grp we still just the 4 of us. Yet we do our best.
Another dps joins by now, a hunter, we get to the boss and the timer ends when hes about half hp of the second split...
I cannot stop thinking we could have done it IF that mage would help us on the lyon pack, and using TW on the boss. And not doing that lazy pull that wiped us :(

I'd love to know how to skip that group too.
Best i ever did in a pug was lynx boss died 5 seconds after timer expired. And during that run we had accidentally pulled the patrol between eagle/bear. If someone hadn't pulled that patrol we'd all have bear mounts right now.
Lowest of the 3 dps had 18k. Highest was a boomkin with 24k. (overall for the first 4 bosses)
People were CC'ing things properly without raid markers or being told. Healer never dropped below 80%.
It was an amazing run.

I was once tanking Grim Batol with my Paladin, and I got into a pug that was already at the second boss (the multi-weapon fella).
A frost dk from the party said the last tank sucked and thats why they didn't manage to bring him down.
So we tried him, and the dps was simply mediocre. Usually when I fight him I get like 3 weapon changes, a normal cycle between his weapons. That time I had a
7
weapon changes. I seriuously could not believe it.
The healer ended up without mana, just me and him alive. Then I took a look at the dps meter.
The Hunter on the party was doing 10k. Not good, but at least some damage. The druid was doing about 11k. A feral druid.
Then I looked at the frost DK, and I didn't knew if I should laugh or cry. The fella had a terrible mix of tanking gear, pvp blues, and a few dps items, and was dual-wielding tanking swords. His average dps was
5300
.
He said he once did like 20k dps, and all I did was laught really hard at him and kick him.
I really don't know HOW there are this bad people out there. I really don't.

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. :\

As a healer, every time I go on a guild run Heroic, we wipe miserably. I know I don't suck, but damn, I can't help feeling like it's me! I've been on pug heroics and we've done just fine (except when I lag and eat crystals, lol). Why must I suck in front of my guild?
Its kinda the same on my guild, normally puggin za/zg takes about an hour, We went up for a guild/friend run on ZA. Warrior tank was friend of the guild. I'm thinking we're all geared good this will be a piece of cake. It started with only one dps being an outsider. I was dps. Everything goes smoothly up to first boss. wiped 2-3 times. I know i was doing the fight right. Our healer was doing good, so either the tank (my choice) or one of the other 2 dps's were messin up. we finally down him.
Get to the pack gaurding 2nd boss. I was suppose to sheep something So i tried to line up and get close enough to cast it when the time comes. I didn't know that group pulled so easily (it pulled and my spell wasn't even active yet) and we wiped. Oops. Get back in and tank decides he's leavin, ok w/e. New tank comes and we down the group and 2nd boss.
No problems untill we get to 2nd to last boss. Or the group gaurding him i should say. This should be simple. The 2 high dps (Me and another guildie) nuke/cc the monsters, while the lowest destroys the totems that protect/heal them. We wiped again and again. Guildie dps gets mad and leaves, now its only the healer and myself from the guild. Another dps comes in we try again. The low dps still can't get the totems (i don't know if he was dumb or had blocked view or what) So i destroy them and the rest of the trolls as he just stands there dumbfounded.
After that the rest of the dungeon thankfully went on without any problems. Total time to complete dungeon 2h35min........ridiculous.

Reading threads like these makes me realise how much luck I have, I (almost) never get a really bad group.

Saw a hunter once pull 2.5k in heroic Cata. I think it was VP.
Watching the rate of fire on his mob, my gf was playing I was looking over her shoulder, I could only determine that they were auto-shotting with the occasional Arcane Shot, while waiting for the Focus to regen NATURALLY.
Q.Q
This, I noticed a hunter doing the same thing, upon discussing the issue with the hunter, he had left before the changes and didn't know to cobra/steady shot to regenerate focus faster :(

If MS is resto, why OS isnt boomkin?
You would do much better DPS with same resto gear on moonking

This is the point that the Light of Hope is snuffed out.

Some people rather do melee dps instead of range. I use to be Ele/Resto on my Shaman but once I got him to 80 I changed to Resto/Enhance. Enhance for questing and dungeons so I can eventually get gear for my Resto spec.
I see several people like that. We have a core Druid healer in our raid and his OS is Feral DPS. We also have another druid healer that is trying to gear for Feral tanking.
May also have to do with the one spec being able to dish out more damage then the other. Whether its due to movement, such as Ele isn't that great on movement so I hear, or that the other spec is OP atm.

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 :)
