Yea, your right - kinda the same - but if someone is pulling that low (enough
to garner attention from me) I look to see if they are doing dps. If the are
not, I start keeping an eye on them to see if they are just afk, or standing
around. If they are trying, then maybe they are doing the opposite of my
greifers, which I guess can be just as bad. Maybe they are dps who can que as
healers and who didn't feel like waiting in a que, but are maybe trying to heal
thinking they are flying under the radar by not appearing on dps meters?
dunno...

Yup - Sorry to say, I've found priests to be the biggest offenders....Pally's
and druids not so much....

Frustrating....I hear you. But that's the whole LFR, not just heals. When I
que as dps on my mage and DK, I'm usually in the 1-3 spots overall in dps and
damage done. It always looks like the lower dps get 'secret' better chances on
thier rolls you don't know about. I wouldn't give it a second thought, except
on my rogue, I'm usually pulling 7-10th in damage and dps. Guess who gets the
most drops and is decked out in LFR gear? Makes you go hmmmm......

errr - I'm guilty of rolling on items I already have.
1) I roll for leverage...I roll and win hands I already have. I hold on to
them and watch who gets the shoulders I need on another boss. I offer that guy
the hands and maybe a trinket I won for the shoulders, and a trade happens. If
from my realm, I'll sweeten the deal with some gold. If I get to the end of
the final boss and no one wants to trade, I give them away to someone....
2) I do indeed roll on items I have (if eligible) if running with guildies and
a guildie needs them. We are on vent, and they say they need that, I'll roll
and give it to them if I get it. I consider that a benefit of running with
friends. If no one needs it, I'll pass on it.

Yea - That sucks....and most of the time they don't need it, or are trying to
build a heal set at your expense....Gee, thanks.
