i dont know what to tell you man but ive seen it before. i thought they were supposed to remove this 15 minute thing and put in a reason for the kick? i havent seen a reason for any kicks yet. Why should the rest of the group get penalized because one chump purposefully goes AFK at the start of the instance and still gets to roll on loot?

I have the same problems, and it's SO annoying. I don't mind helping other players out, but when they AFK or pull ~200 DPS in the heroic ICC 5 mans, I get @#$%ed. I don't understand the system at all, but I hope Blizz listens to QQ and fixes it soon.

I believe the system has changed and you can kick people instantly if they are not performing etc. (as you have mentioned). Are you sure that it is the "time limit" you are seeing and not a message stating that you have initiated the kick too soom after leaving combat or during a loot roll? I say this as I don't seem have to wait until the random dungeon quest timer is down before initiating a kick as I believe this timer only influences your ability to rejoin using the random dungeon tool (as a quest so adding xp,gold,emblems/satchel) along with any desertion timers.
I do have the same issue regarding limited number of times you can initiate the vote system (only 1 from the looks of it!), although it might be that the only one to be able to put forward the reason to kick is the dungeon leader/guide and maybe only the guide can do this more than once (probably not though).
i totally understand your annoyance with all this as I have limited times to play and its nothing worse than waiting 20-30 mins for a dungeon to then be stuck with some annoying plebs that just seem to want to leech from others or completely screw up your run since there is now very little come-back from this sort of behavior. Of course all these rules have been put in place to also stop people from abusing the votekick system so it must be hard to balance it fairly.

Being prompted to provide a reason for a kick is as simple as pressing the spacebar or any other single letter/number ect and submitting. The system doesn't actually care what the reason is or whether it's a good one.
Not sure that this is a good idea, but it don't see it being abused often. I was booted once because I accidentally went into H ToC 5-man as DPS instead of Tank (geared for) and rolled on a tank upgrade. Booted immediately. I understand that was my bad and I have never run as tank dps again.

My reason when someone needs kicked? . yup thats it I just put a good ol peroid in there and the grp will know why said player is getting kicked, although I havent had to kick anyone on tank yet. Shouldve yesterday though, some fresh 80 fury warrior was only pulling 500dps but I felt his pain because I felt like such a scrub on my fury war when he first 80 and was only pulling 1100dps, healer even whispered me saying we should find a replacement but I told him he isnt doing any harm and has to get those emblems somehow, he agreed we finished and went on our ways.

Vote kicking needs re-worked.
My DK is a tank and as I was gearing up through instances I was vote kicked off a few times probably because I had Low HP. I don't think that's fair.
What sucks is that it doesn't tell you why you were kicked either and I feel that we should know what the reason was and I also feel that they should make it mandatory to type a reason before the kick.

While it sucks, people show little sympathy for new DK tanks that are still gearing up

To follow up on OP's point, yes, I have seen exactly this. It seems that the vote-to-kick isn't always working properly.
We had a player DCd for about 5 mins in a group yesterday, and I tried to kick, but it said I had to wait 15 mins - like it used to. 30 seconds later he is kicked by the other players.
We had all been in the group from the start, so there didn't seem anything different about me.
Sounds like a bug in their system; hopefully if enough tickets get sent in they will look into it.

On the other hand I've gotten 30 minutes lockout several times now, for leaving a disintegrated group with only me and someone else remaining.
I dread the day Blizzard will introduce a hero healer class.

I also hate that if you complete an instance and want to go again with the same people and one of them alt-F4s out after you kill the last boss, you're screwed. Unless they were from your server, you'll never see them again. Because you can't kick someone after the instance is completed. Why? No freaking clue.

The few times I wanted to kick someone it had worked out. I have a UI that disables error messages so I'm never really sure exactly why the Vote Kick doesn't work, but if I keep trying, it eventually works. For example:
Zone into Occulus, I'm tank. I'm buffing and putting on everything I need (RF, SoC, etc) and the hunter starts to shoot the whelps. I sit and drink and he says, "Hurry up, Jackasses!"
I wait until all the mobs that he pulls are dead and then do a /readycheck. He respond, "shut up with your ready check and let's go." At this point, I try the Vote Kick option...nothing happens. I start pulling at my usual break-neck speed. We get past the 1st boss and I'm on my drake onto the next set of mobs...healer is with me, so I just keep pulling. I notice that he is doin very little dps (~500) and is always lagging behind the group. I don't say anything, I just keep trying the vote kick option.
We get to one of the platforms and I notice our healer is still on his drake ~50 yards away, trying to kill a dragon. Of course, I turn character and don't pull. I see the hunter pullin the mobs and him and the rest of the dps die before the healer comes by and I then grab the mobs and they go down easily. He types, "WTF?" and I respond, "<his name>, you pull, you tank, that's twice now." His response, "?" while the other 2 dps responded with, "lol" and "I have to use that line on my tank". We get to the last boss before the dragon and I'm still trying to vote kick him. We kill the mage and I fly up and do a /readycheck. He says, "Stop you idiots!" and I am still trying to vote kick him. Then, without warning, the vote kick goes through and I just see him /say WOW. We then get someone new right away and then kill the boss.
So, in that one situation...it did work :)

The idea of removing the vote kick timer was in the early patch notes. The idea was removed before the patch went live. If anyone can find a reason given, or even discussed, it would be appreciated.
As it stands the rules are:
3.3.0
1. A vote to kick a member may not be initiated during, or for a short time after combat.
2. A vote to kick a member may not be initiated in the first 15 minutes of a group.
3. Only two members may be kicked from a group.
4. Despite the above, a vote to kick a member who has disconnected can be initiated immediately.
3.3.3
Players who use the Vote Kick option will now be prompted to provide a reason for kicking a party member. This reason will be presented to everyone in the party except for the person voted to be kicked.
There was at some point also a removal of the kicked from dungeon debuff mentioned in the patch notes but that also appears to have not made it to live.
Short version is: People are occasionally daft twits. Politely asking them to leave might work. Reporting them for abuse of the system might also work.
that is lame.
1. makes sense, but what if the tank wants to wipe you and is gathering all of the mobs?
2. a dungeon takes 15 minuites, I do not want to have some leech suckering on for at least 1/2 the rolls, gold, and XP
3. Often I get 3 ninjas in a row
4. makes sense
1/4, gg bliz

What addon do you use to stop the ui error messages.
