I wish I could get VP once in a while. I always get Tol'vir or Halls of Origination. I'd say its definitely random. I just think you got unlucky. I've had similar streaks happened to me back in WoTLK. I also never get any of the remade ones like Deadmines :[
For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.

Depends if people are queueing specifically. I don't usually queue alone, but when I did in Wrath I got CoT almost every time, even multiple times per day. It's not really random.

If you look at the distribution of all dungeons gotten by all groups queued for a random dungeon, I imagine it's evenly distributed.Speculaas of <The Forgiven>, Terenas-US

Ironically I started a post about Tol'Vir being the dungeon I get in a lot. So it randomly chooses the dungeon that a person always sees I guess.

Every heroic we have ran after a raid has been either Stonecore or BRC. I dont really think its so random, atleast doesnt feel like that. We are talking 10times + here.

SFK seems to be the one they want to stick me with consistently so I feel your pain, I've only run Lost City and the underwater one twice in their whole existence in LFD and once in a guild group. I don't like particularly going just as heals since as a healer I typically get put into already running pugs.
