Blizzard dumbs down their encounters a lot to account for bad groups. Many five-man fights only really take a tank, one healer, and one dps.

Yeh and still a lot of pugs wipe loads of times on trash that can easily be killed by a tank and a healer. God bless multi boxing

QFT there have been a number of times where ive had to pug a few members at 70 and they may as well have been empty spots all that accounted for anything was a hybrid shammy (my bro) a arms/fury war(roomate) and marks/sv hunter (me) the other two people didnt do much most of the time lol.
There was one time in a full PUG where I have main healed on my feral druid (yes I really did just say that) and not only did we not wipe but I beat the ele shammy and enhanc shammy in damage done ; ; (this was a ramparts group)
setup was a bearform druid(65), destruction lock (he was 70, dont remember why he was there) me as feral spec(66) in my healing set (+560healing +290spell) an enhancement shamman(65) and an elemental shaman(dinged 65 half way through).

back in the days when we first started doing BWL (we had up to Firemaw or Ebonroc on farm, I forget which one is which), I hosted a PUG UBRS (back when it was 15-man, lolz) with two Guildies (another Rogue and a Paladin) and then a Guild friend Paladin that I had never met before.
So we do this run and the whole time the friend Paladin is on my ass saying "I'm gonna do more damage than you" (lol ret) and shit like that just because he knew I was CL for my Guild.
So we finish the run after kicking this retarded Mage we had and I'm handing out loot. For the last 10 minutes the Paladin had been silent whereas he spent the entire run whispering me and badmouthing me in raid chat saying that he was a better player. So when the run's finished, I just posted the meters and waited.
I was 63% of the raids damage. THAT my friends is worthless PUG members. You couldn't do that badly if you had no fingers and played using your nose.
Also, parentheses crit your face for a billion.
