LFD makes people a little rushed maybe?

I started a tank spec because I get almost instant queues as a tank. I logged on and my computer was acting a bit weird but I ignored it. I queued as tank when I meant to do DPS (since my friend wasn't on to help me. He kind of pulls the aggro when I miss it because I am new at tanking). Anyways previously I had done pretty well at tanking for the first few days. I instantly get a group and realize I didn't switch to DPS, so I ask if anyone has a tank spec because I'm not well geared etc., they say no matter and to tank it. So we get in, before we were even buffed the hunter pulls the first mob, my Avenger shield wasn't working nor was my right click (which I did not know). I failed to aggro since everyone jumped in after that. I was then called all sorts of curse words, a terrible tank etc. I said one second let me fix it my skills are not working. Nope. they continued to pull while i was opening bartender, etc. After that they kept telling me to leave etc, and that I couldn't tank and I should quit. All sorts of terrible names were cursed at me. And I explained over and over what was wrong and they said "no look, I can tank too" and pulled a mob and they killed it. I was like, "of course you can tank and hold aggro WHEN YOUR SPELLS WORK." Then they waited for the debuff and votekicked me.
TL;DR - skills dont work, group aggros and &*!@#es at me for not being able to tank.
I find that people are a lot more snappy and mean towards others since they are not from their own server. Either that or people just votekick if they are lower dps. I even had some warrior need on a really bad blue rogue dagger. and then leave the group. Is there some sort of "blacklist" to prevent that?

My experience is quite the opposite. I've seen better group communication / gameplay / etc since the new LFG than when I was pugging with people on my server. Maybe you just got a bad group full of a$$.

I've noticed this as well, even on lower-level dungeons. Today I had a rogue that kept stealthing and pulling mobs before everyone was ready, and then a third through the instance he quit. We then got a mage, who also proceeded to pull mobs when everyone was sitting taking a mana break.And then are times when the tank pulls mobs before everyone is ready.
While I'm glad that I'm able to run dungeons since before I could only get guildmates to run me, I feel less rushed with one of them than with a group of equal-level people. And while I'm not talkative, I would like it if the runs weren't so silent. Usually by the time I say "Hello" everyone's engaged the first pack of mobs.

The next boss did those fire spheres but I had everyone hotted up, so no biggie. Then he threw some sleep/hibernate/stun debuff on the hunter and his health started dropping. I spammed him with Nourish but it did nothing and he ended up dead. A moment later the pala got the debuff and I couldn't heal him either, believe me I tried, so he died too. Luckily the rest of us managed to down the boss. Lets just say they weren't all that impressed with me, fortunately the warrior came to my defense and explained that you can't heal through the debuff only shield and druids have no shield spells.
Actually, the group has to focus on the boss and down him before he kills the member, if you don't have enough dps the target is going to die. Shields just delay it.

Feedback? It's called party chat. /p let the tank pull / don't stand in the fire / wait for mana is enough for most people, especially if it's reinforced by dying. If not, /ignore.

Yeah. Tauren are my favorite race, so I rather uncreatively came up with this name.
