DPS queues on my server are about 15-20 minutes. As a tank, I'm almost immediately inserted into a dungeon. But, I agree, I think it's a little less stressful as a DPS in these 3.3, cross-realm PUGs. @Ency It might be wiser, but you have to wait in line… DPS queues on my server are about 15-20 minutes.

I have my DK geared well enough to start tanking but am thinking that when much better tanks than I am are getting griefed maybe continuing to sign up as DPS only is a wiser move.

The problem took care of itself, though, when he left the group on his own. I think, as Tarragon put it, if you tell everyone that you're going to chain pull, and to let you know if you should slow down, you shouldn't have to worry about it. The silence-thing is something I'm still getting used to, but I don't mind it. By far the worst was the dude in the HoL run.

It seems like people aren't interested in the social aspect at all... I've been in a couple groups where we go in and do the entire thing totally silently, with a quick 'thanks' at the end. So I've just taken to saying 'If you need a mana/food/pee break, let me know, otherwise I'm not stopping for hell or high water.'

Annoying dps? /vote. Problem solved. I haven't run into any of that myself, but that's exactly what my wife's been running into. I have no idea what's got everything thinking that the runs are going to be at ball busting speed. It makes no sense to me.
