You can't blame PuGs for making runs take 5 hours
I don't. I blame the dungeons.If you're tired of bad groups, get some friends and run them.
But thats the problem, the game forces socialization to succeed.
No. It doesn't.
The game forces group play in few specific encounters. The only real encounter I can think of right now, is the aforementioned Bear boss from Zul'Aman, because it requires coordination of movement, and Erudax because it requires splitting up your damage dealers. Everything else just requires a minimum knowledge of tactics. Focusing on Invocations of fire doesn't require team coordination - it requires a bare minimum of knowledge about the fight.
And what do you do when most groups seem to lack that bare minimum of knowledge? What do you do when you explain a fight for an hour straight and continue to wipe with no progress?

And to me, Cata runs are MORE boring than wrath runs. At least when chain pulling, you were moving while tanking. The most I ever have to do in Cata pulls is turn.
Well then sir, your tanked is not quite geared enough to chain pull. My feral druid chain pulls almost every heroic I do. I finish most heroic dungeons in 20-30 mins - za/zg I finish in 45 mins or so less. With gear comes easier heroics. Go get FL geared then come back and say you cant chain pull.
I'm geared enough for normal Firelands. I've tanked multiple FL bosses without dropping below half health.
The continuous wipes are what causes my runs to take hours.

Then there lies your problem either you dont know how to tank or the heals suck, that is if your wiping in heroics, with being in FL gear.
Just looked at your warrior, if that is his current gemming and reforging, there lies your problem, your doing it all wrong. Mastery is one of your strongest stats. I think someone needs to read up on how to gem/reforge/enchant their character.
The gems and enchants I need are too pricey on my server to waste on my current gear.

Mmm, Atik, you should head over to the warrior forums and let us fix you.

Not sure how that's possible when you don't have any Firelands kills.

My next questions are the folowing:
1. What is meant by the tiers? I understand that there are items levels, but besides that i have a very limmited understanding.Each group of Raids have their own specialty set of class based armour. They also have their own off-set pieces, weapons and trinkets which make up the rest of the tier gear, but you can get get similar items in some cases off the Justice/Valor point vendors.
2. To achieve best dps possible, what is the recommended rotation for a markmanship hunter? I've googled and have checked wowhead and the hunter guide and are all similar but all vary. It was pointed out to me in a dg that I should try a different rotation consisting of 3 spells only. Strange this is is that there have been two instances where i have been the only one left standing, just by using a rotation that ive put together (from various sites). So is it worth listening to this person and changing it completely?
Cheers
Cari
That question is better asked in the Hunter forum in all honesty.

By dragonrom 2 days ago (Patch 4.2.2)
and a final note: 371 honor pvp gear is going to be much better thank 90% of dps gear 359 and under. not the same for tank or healers, but dps can keep that in mind.
Please don't encourage anymore players wearing pvp gear in a pve environment.

It's faster in WOTLK because as a tank, I was able to pull 4 groups of mobs and still face roll.
I pull 1 group with no CC and it's almost a wipe.

from my point of view as tank:
id hate to be stereotyped as "one of those tanks" but i do find cata dungeons dreadfully long, i mean, my schedule time prevents me from running things for far too long so i end up avoiding randoms like the plague this days, i can remember in wrath pulling THE ENTIRE NEXUS heroic and clearing it in barely 10 minutes tops!, a thing that its impossible in any cata dungeon, .
I dont know what your talking about, just last night I did deadmines heroic. Pulled all trash to 1st boss - pulled all trash to 2nd boss - pulled all trash to 3rd boss. you see where Im going with this. I cleared it in about 26 mins or so. The healer i had was an under geared shaman with 80k mana total. So it is very possible to chain pull, then again you may not be able to pull EVERYTHING to the last boss, it is still very possible to chain pull your arse off, and get it done very quick.
See, I don't know where you are getting these people.
I very rarely get chain-pull friendly groups.
