One or more players are doing this dungeon for the first time.

Right because you totally can't figure either of those things out if you have common sense or observation skills. You have 3 chances to figure out the two AoE mechanic if you are too lazy to find out the difference between red and blue and not connect the dots that's your problem. There are doom removing plates for gaze as well so that's a forgiving mechanic if you don't focus target and mess up till you get it down.

Sprigs spawn more than one at a time and if you still attack them after seeing them turn into snowballs you clearly have no intention of actually thinking about what you are doing.

Not to mention my point was made on the fact that they waited until reaching the boss to ask for information

In that spriggans case he did in fact ask at the beginning of the dungeon. But even right before a boss asking is okay, perfect use of the time it takes to cast stoneskin. My advice is to always watch a video before the fight, but some people like to ask directly I guess. That's the fun thing about mmos, there are actually people to communicate with. Letting people learn by themself is fine if everyone is patient.

Some mechanics are more obtuse than others, and some are less forgiving. When it's your first time in a leveling dungeon, you're trying to get a handle on new skills and adjust to the mechanics of the dungeon. When you tackle a high level dungeon for the first time, you could still be tying together your max level rotation, you might be tugging against under/overgeared players as well, and again, you're learning new mechanics on the fly.

Some players can do it fine, for some, tackling and nailing mechanics after running into them blind is part of the dungeon thrill. Other players just want to complete the dungeon, they aren't interested in intuiting the mechanics on their own, and don't want to be held responsible for wipes that could have been avoided. I'll shoot off a couple lines about wipe worthy mechanics for the sake of the newbie, whether by their request or not, and it's usually met with positive affirmation and a quick thanks. Everyone, newbie or vet, has the same goal in a dungeon: to clear it. All I do is help the newbie get on the same level as the rest of us, then we tackle the bosses and do exactly that.
