I get irked when it's a wipe due to recklessness after 1 1/2 hours invested with no hope of returning to where we left off due to re-pops.
Bingo. I like going fast, except when people want to take unneccessarily risky shortcuts. There are always a couple places in instances where people like to slide by or run past mobs or jump down to certain areas and all too often one person in the party doesn't quite make the slide by, run past, or jump down and wipes the party. And all that risk is usually taken to avoid one single mob pull. If the risk-reward is a 30 second savings vs a 15 minute corpse run/rebuffing/settling in loss, then don't take the risk. If you have a group that's working well and is killing mobs at a fast pace, then just pull that extra mob group and keep going.
