Loving the Dungeon Finder Tool

So far Patch 3.3 has been a hit, specifically the new Dungeon Finder tool. Without hyperbole I can safely say it has revolutionized the how I think of, and do heroics. In a way, its changed how I play WoW completely.

Before the tool, PUG was a 3 letter, 4-letter word. Looking to run a heroic went something like this.

1. Find three heroics to join the LFG for.
2. Spam Trade and LookingForGroup channels.
If you're a DPS, expect to repeat this for the next hour before any finds you, or try to catch someone "LFM DPS", which I'm told happen but have never personally seen.
If you're a tank, expect to be invited within about 15-20 mins,then wait another 45 mins looking for a healer.
If you're a healer, expect to be invited within 10-15 mins, then wait another 45 mins looking for a tank.
3. If the stars align and 5 people are gathered, expect to wait another 10-15 minutes while everyone is running to the meeting stone. At least, this is what everyone is saying, in reality only 1 person is actually flying to the meeting stone, the rest are waiting for a summon.
4. After everyone is gathered and the instance is started. One of the following will happen, and contribute to the wipefest
a. Tank blames healer for not being geared enough for this heroic.
b. Healer blames Tank for not being geared enough for this heroic.
c. DPS not geared enough, healer OOMs.
d. DPS over-geared to the point where the tank can't hold aggro. "Slow down" dps request by tank met with "MOAR DOTS" reference.
e. One DPS comments on how "fail" the other DPS's spec/gear/sexual preference is and a 10 minute argument insues.
f. A male character starts flirting with a female character, finds its actually a male player, hilarity ensues. <-- this one is always fun.
g. A male character starts flirting with a female character, finds it really is a female character, and the rest of the dungeon is an assorment of posturing, flirtation, and requests for "boob shots".
h. A female character flirts with male character in order to get more gear. True gender of players involved make no difference.
5. If somehow you're really blessed, you finish the dungeon, collect your emblems and swear you'll never go through this crap again.

How it is now:

1. Queue up in Dungeon Finder, Random Heroic
a. If you're a DPS expect a 10 minue wait
b. If you're a tank expect a 10 second wait
c. If you're a healer, I haven't tried this but i'd assume about 10-seconds like a tank.
2. Once everyone has accepted, you get PORTED to the dungeon.
3. Everyone is pretty comparably geared, so if you're a new tank you'll have newish people as well. This seems like a bad idea but I've found that it actually helps with making runs smoother. People that are just starting out, gearing up, are more tolerant of mistakes. The DPS isn't as high so its easier to keep aggro. The healer doesn't have as big a mana pool so chain-pulling isn't as mandatory to keep everyone happy.
4. The people you meet are generally farming heroics for the new emblem gear and generally know the fights ( even the undergeared, alts probably).
5. Collect your emblems and gold, wave bye.

In the time that 3.3 has been out, I've been able to get enough triumph badges to get Hotplate the BiS tanking Sigil, and enough for the T9 shoulders ( have yet to buy).

All in all, i'm loving this new dungeon system.
