What can I say about this dungeon? Well, nobody wants to do it, for a start. I spent 45 mins in LFG waiting for a group, with only an offer to run RFK and an offer from a 71, offering his/her alt if they didn't get a group for wherever they were trying to go.

When the leader (22 Warr) arrived, he overshot the meeting stone, even though I was sitting on top of it. This was a bad sign.

When we got down there, something became painfully clear: the 22 Warr could not hold his aggro. Even before the instance portal he was arguing with the other warrior (who was better at holding aggro) that he was the tank, and constantly running past a mob, aggroing it, to pull a mob behind it.

After taking down Ghamoo-ra, I pointed the way to the next boss. I assume what happened next was that the 22 Warr overpulled, getting aggro on everybody in the group, leading to the deaths of the rogue and the druid. The 22 Warr, after waiting a while for the corpseruns, left, group leadership passing to the druid.

The other warrior was undeterred - there was a paladin in LFG, she said, get him to DPS and she can tank. That was when the druid left, and the paladin disappeared from LFG.

From there we collapsed.

In total I spent 20 mins in BFD, 45 mins waiting beforehand. For one boss.

After another half-hour waiting, I gave up and went to collect some quests for something slightly different...
