Dps is the hardest role. I have to sit there jerking off over my damage while the tank frolics around trying to get threat. How do you expect us to play when we have one hand on our dick?

They absolutely deserve to demand this. Will they find a group willing to let them? Maybe. If someone wants to charge for their services then let them. Why waste energy getting angry?

Except dps and heals absolutely can compensate for a bad tank. I've been around a long time and I have seen 100s of situations where shit has gone wrong and the tank just explodes or doesn't hold aggro. Then good dps will instantly CC, kite, interrupt, keep adds off the healer and prevail. Tanks make it easy for the others and you don't want to be without a tank but to suggest that if the tank fucks up or dies it is a wipe is just fantasy.

No it's not. It's exactly the same as a healer saying that they want the primal nether.
And?
Your run still be a total pain if you constantly have to deal with threat issues and perma kiting mobs.
Not to mention that some of that shit barely works depending on the dungeon and mobs.
If you want to nitpick that you can complete a dungeon with a barely functional tank, go ahead, but when having to choose between one competent dps and one competent tank, i would 10/10 times choose the competent tank for TBC heroics.
the only reason i'd reserve nethers is if the group didn't mind that I do, I only need 2 more for the blazeguard, I need 2 maybe or 3 for the NR set, and then in t5 or p2 there are recipes that drop in ssc and tk that use nethers. red havok boots for example, might be worth crafting if I don't get an alternative. some of the items are boe, like the whitemend set is it profitable, you can probably sell a nether for 200g maybe.

Reserving Nethers would be reliable gold providing you had the crafts people want. Tailoring or LW are probably the best profs to have for it since they cover a wide range of specs that need BoE crafts and can also make the Leg enchants passively. That being said from a pure gold per hour stance it's not going to be a strong contender. Even if you have a solid 5 man that clears Heroics in <30m and gives you every Nether no questions asked you still have to wait for the crafts to come along and Nethers will constantly be dropping in value.
Alch is a much better investment of time and will make any money you spend on it back fairly quickly. If you can get Haste and Destruction recipes, Potion Masters are one of, if not the most profitable Professions. It's also relatively cheap to level compared to something like JC, you can do 300-350 Alch for about 50g. Pots are used by everyone forever so the demand never drops like they will for Primal Nethers, and if you have a Herb alt it just makes your herb farming ~50% more profitable.
Getting a pug tank takes like 30-60min. I'm willing to give every single primal nether away if I get a tank instantly. If youre not willing to do that, then I guess you just wait a bir longer and get your 1/5 chance of getting the nether.
I am happy to pay for getting an instant tank, enjoy trying to find one for 60mins while I just choose a tank and go.
