My current dream is very basic. I dream right now of a good VC run with competent people. I have yet to have a good instance run at all so VC seems like a good place to start.

Hmm. I would disagree. If you are playing on the alliance side, VC is the first instance. This is the first time you're going to see well tied mobs and instance scenarios. For the Alliance, VC is where you learn to be a party member.

I rarely expect a VC instance to go well. I expect one or two characters to try and play solo - because they just don't know. I ran my lvl 20 warrior through VC last night. We didn't finish. The other players didn't know their party roles very well. But I'm glad I did it because they other folks got the opportunity to LEARN.

You don't know what Ninja Looting is if no one has ever explained it to you. You don't know low levels have larger aggro radii than higher levels unless you've seen it. You don't know when to throw that heal or when to AoE or which mobs to concentrate on until you've lived it and learned it the hard way. If you've hit the level cap and you go back and play an alt you'll be playing with folks who haven't learned how to survive the level 55 dungeons. Sure, some of them won't listen. Doesn't mean it isn't an opportunity to role model what it takes to get through an instance.

If you want a good instance run don't look at VC. Look at Scarlet Monastery or Uldaman. But the only way those are going to be good is if you use your VC, BFD, Gnomeregan, Stockades, etc. runs to build a list of people who are starting to "get it". Then pull from there and your guild and you'll have a beautiful time. Did a Stockades run a week ago with my mage and aside from the Warrior rushing it was a lovely time.
