Two idiot shaman in one group? Mongolito and Zuljoe - Twisting Nether

Lately, on Drstamos I have been grinding reputation. I think it would be pretty awesome to be Drstamos the Exalted. It will be a long road but will be worth it. Of course, I have to tank a random heroic every day to keep my skills sharp.

The problem: I got Azjol Nerub today, a faceroll dungeon that is pretty close to soloable, sans web rap. The first pull is two spiders that deal virtually zero damage, so the second I ported in I went to tanking them. This really disturbed the healer, Mongolito, as he yelled, "u stupid tnk im not redy, i hope u die, noob." Of course, I didn't die, I did 90% of the damage and healing that pull. After blowing through the first boss, the same healer fell off the walkway, aggro'd the mobs, and died. This made me chuckle. I piped up and said I was indeed a "noob tnk" and tanked the next boss without a healer. I like to rush in on Anub and see how many people fail to keep up and get locked out. I did this and Mongolito said, "i would loled, if u started it with out me, nub." To be honest, I would have "loled" too. I decided to just let thing mellow for a bit after I got 150k ahead of the next closest dps in threat, getting called a fail tank repeatedly. It was especially satisfying when Mongolito ran out of mana and died while I just stood there and /yawned. Up to this point, Zuljoe had been telling Mongolito to knock it off, but he decided to critique my tanking gear: "LOL he's tanking in wrathful and only one sanc, fail." This is true, I use a 264 pvp neck and a 270 pair of pvp pants. If I were to use the tank gear I have for these slots, I would be using a 226 neck with hit, bringing me to a whopping 340 hit, and a 232 pair of pants with 100+ less stamina and expertise, which ultimately does nothing for survivability. Of course the judgment came from a person who can't outdamage the tank, even though he just stands there for the final boss.

The solution: Don't talk or fall off walkways in dungeons.
