Slabs again

Last night I got the first Kara key frag. I also witnessed the crappiest thing I've seen since playing WoW.

I was invited into a pretty solid group, all from the same (other) guild. It was a decent group; prot pally, frost mage, holy priest, a geared hunter. Solid. We cruised through the instance in about 3 hours with only 2 wipes, as far as Murmur who stopped us in our tracks. We had agreed that nobody would touch the Kara chest and after we'd had a crack at Murmur, those who had the key would leave and we could bring in guildies and friends for the key.

So three of the group drop, leaving me and the pally. Now we have a mishmash group, and the Fel Overseers have respawned, so we're having trouble getting back to Murmur. Pally starts making all sorts of noise in party chat about "we had better get that damn key" getting all tense. After a couple of attempts at getting past the Overseers, I hatch a plan to pull the guy patrolling the corridor over into a corner, evasion tank long enough to let everyone run through, then vanish or die and stealth back in. All in agreement, but before everyone is ready Pally tries to run for it and gets his skull bashed in for the effort. Sigh, wait.

So I set it up again, and as we're making sure everyone is ready, Pally does his bubble run trick again and this time the rest of the group decides that they're sick of waiting so they run through too. The tank grabs the overseer, giving the rest of the group time to get away, and I stay with the tank until I have to vanish. Tank dies, foregone conclusion.

So now it's a simple matter of the Pally returning to the tank, rezzing him, then we all stroll through for the frag right? You would think so. With the tank dead on the floor and me waiting by him to escort him through, I see "wtf" in party chat and the pally's health starts going down.

You already know what happened right?

The tank tells me to go, and I sprint into Murmur's room to find the chest open. The pally protests that it wasn't him that opened the chest, but the evidence points strongly against him. Luckily I was alive and in the instance at the time it was opened, and I can loot. The tank, because of his self-sacrificing grabbing of the Overseer to save the rezzer, doesn't get it. I hearth out in disgust.

Just imagine if I had done my pull to let the group through, died, and after 4 hours of Slabs, get the frag ninjad? I was furious enough as it was just seeing the tank miss out, I think I would have hunted the guy down if it had been me.

Anyway, (takes pill) tick.
