Mine just ocurred. The instance: Zul'Farrak (The instance that no one likes anyways)
Myself (Sommli level 49 rogue). Abattoir (level 47 rogue) Grizelle (level 48 Priest) feel up for trying to new and nerfed Divino-matic quest. We ask for two more players in taranis and end up with a level 51 rogue (who will be referred to as apples) and a level 53 druid. We have no maintank. (I recognized apples because he had cost me several gold, i the area of 40 or so, by cutting into a market I had almost exclusive rights to)
Zul starts going smoothly, we get up to the divino quest with nothing eventful happening and we fail. (Amusing bit where apples argues that bly never descends the stairs... though he clearly does) We end up wiping twice just getting back to where we were. Apples decides to amuse us by fighting naked, which is somewhat funny at the time, though after refusal to reclothe after 15 minutes or so it gets old. Apples requests that we reform so we can try again and we head out.
Grizelle, Ab, and myself do not even make it to the door before apples has decided that we should do this quest in a raid. Despite various objections from myself and others that we believe the quest cannot be done in the raid, Apples assures us that the quest can indeed be done in a raid. We form a raid, but not just any raid. The most idiotic raid formation I can imagine. Group number 1 was rogue rogue warrior warlock druid. (Yes .... one healer, and the healer is level 42) Apples (the raid leader at this point) then puts all the major healers in another group with one rogue. (priest paladin rogue)
After arguing for a bit to reform the groups and getting nowhere we head into the instance and proceed to zerg everything. To make the matter of silly group formations worse, the druid in our group NEVER heals us. Apples and I almost die numerous times while his/her mana pool remains filled. After asking that he/she heal us I'm told to chill out, and the druid still refuses to heal. I honestly believe this druid thinks druid heals are noncombat only. We make it to the cages, and pause for buffing up. Griz (the only priest) uses all of her mana on buffs, and some genius opens the cages... before she has a chance to drink. Our main healer has NO mana, not that she could properly heal the demage dealers/tanks anyways due to the group setups. The mobs are dealt with (it has indeed been nerfed), and we find out at this point that of course, there is no completing this quest in a raid group.
Three hours wasted. I was left disgusted with this experience not due to people who had no idea what they were doing in terms of their ability to play their character's roles.... but due to various demonstrations of stupidity outside of what skills to use at what times..

Sorry about what may seem like whining, but it was not a good situation and it's still fresh :)
