Several months ago, just after a major patch, the partner and I were invited to fill spots in a friend's "farm" Gruul. Wipe 1, the mage-tank died. Oops - healers don't to sharpen up. Wipe 2, same again, but there seemed to be an issue with the mage being able to spell-steal the fire-shield thing. Wipes 3 and 4 were getting folks a little wound up - this was farm content for 23 of them. Then someone asked what the hunters were MD-pulling the mage with? Yes, the shot that removes a magical effect, such as the fire-shield.... *giggles* Want to classify this one?

I don't have an exact quote but it was along these lines: "I have very little raiding experiance on this toon, but I raided three toons up to Naxx pre-BC and up to Hyjal and BT in BC. I sold all three after I geared them." I wouldn't consider this Epic fail but it is close.
