I got pretty lucky, Just did my CM run for Story, and while the team did run ahead when the battle was over, I never got locked out of a Battle and Enjoyed the Cutscenes. They were all petty decent too except maybe the SMN who was a tad impatient, though he never lashed out about it you could tell he was a tad peeved... but I imagine he didn't last out cause in that case its basically "Go ahead and leave, Queue up for an hour you'll be replaced in 30 seconds".

Shame of being a DD is you have 0 pull over anything cause you can be replaced so easily.
