today, I picked up my lvl 40 brewmaster monk again after reading the starter brewmaster guide. I queued for randoms and instantly joined a new group for Dire Maul East. Composition was shaman/warrior/rogue/hunter and me as monk tank. After a few trash packs, I noticed I was getting no heals and saw mobs fly around from thunderstorm. I had to keep myself alive, which isn't something I don't quite want to try in my first run. I got 3 healing surges in total, and I did over 4 times his healing.
I asked the shaman why he wasn't healing and he said "I'm not good and I'm AFK". I can get the first one, but the second part was a blatant lie because I saw him on skada the entire time dealing damage (current fight).
I didn't want to deal with the hassle of kicking him, so I just said "if you can't be bothered to heal, I can't be bothered to tank" and left them. I don't understand this. If you don't want to heal, then don't queue as healer. I don't care that you won't get an instant queue. In a group, you do your role or you don't join at all. I left LFR groups on my healers because I didn't feel confident enough healing. I left groups as a tank because I kept dying and was a liability. If you're not going to heal, then don't join as healer.
I realize there could have been better options. I could just have kicked him, but with the rules on kicking and as trigger happy as people are in leveling dungeons, that would have been tricky. I could have seen it as practice, but I wasn't comfortable with having such a trial by fire on my first run. Was leaving one of the better options?
