Moonkin attempting to kite gets taken down, me sprint for exit only to be teleported back to boss.

It's phase 1, so he's doing his enfeebles and shadow novas. Our shadow priest pulls aggro for a split second. A split second in which Prince takes two steps toward the priest, enfeebles, and is reaggroed onto the mt, who is himself enfeebled. Needless to say, the priest has paid a lot more attention to the threat meters ever since... So we’re burning through Prince. It’s phase 1, so he’s doing his enfeebles and shadow novas.

One of my guildies had bet me a long time before that I wouldn't DI him (a rogue) so I decided to do just that. He went and pp'd the key right there near the front of the place and I DI'd him not realizing he had been seen and pulled a group of ogres. So here my group is 1 tank and 2 dps with no healer and a rogue DI'd and laughing too hard to talk over Vent. Come to find out DI'ing the rogue was a good thing, he decided to break DI and help the guys out but when you die and zone back into DM, you lose the key you worked so hard to pp and have to reset the instance to get it again. About this same time my husband was playing horde side and having his first experiences in MC and just like in Razor's story thought that "being the bomb" was a good thing. I laughed until I cried when I saw what he had done.

But basically some tard let his girlfriend play for him while he made a beer run or something, and she aggro'd vael and wiped us all. I was an officer at the time and bitched him out, not knowing it was his gf, then he came back, yelled at me for being mean to her. Then I /gkicked him ;) I’m looking for the screenshots of this incident back in the day, when we were attempting Vael and I can’t find it!

We were still running into a second webbing during the enrage, so our plan was to have one of our pallies get soulstoned and DI one of the other healers. Both would then be free to heal the tank during the webbing. Except the pally DIed the MT. He hasn't lived it down yet.
