These comments are pretty much what I expected they would be (which is good!). Glad to see that I'm not completely crazy.
In fairness it really is the exception rather than the norm... at first I thought it was because I was undergeared, but, it doesn't matter how high my ilvl goes... it seems that once a week doing roulette, I inevitably run into a troublemaker.
I'll go through 6 days of 1-2 commendations and a bunch of, "well done!" and "gg all!" comments at the end of roulette runs... and then I get the run from heck where someone is not satisifed with a 22 minute run, and decides to hijack the group in an attempt to get it down to 18 minutes (and generally causes multiple wipes and the dungeon ends up taking 30 minutes).

I should also say, in fairness, I have nothing against people who offer constructive criticism or helpful tips during runs. I'm not trying to say that people should keep their mouth shut if I'm doing something obviously wrong. It's just tone that is the problem I guess.
It's perfectly fine if I'm pulling the wrong mob first and someone says, "just FYI, you should be pulling that other mob because of their AoE"... or, "you can drag those two mobs out of range of the Stalker" and then offer to show me how. I do enjoy learning more efficient ways to run dungeons, and, if I'm doing something that is completely wrong, I do like to know so I can adjust. I've progressed pretty far through the game (mostly through trial and error, I don't watch Youtube vidoes of anything), but, I'm not perfect and never claim to be.
It just bugs me when people say, "this is going too slow, you obviously have no idea how to run this map and have been carried up till now... step aside and let me lead", and then start using a bunch of exploits and telling me "that's the way everyone runs this, you're running it the lvl 17 way".
I must have missed the memo that said that if you aren't exploiting game mechanics to avoid fighting mobs, you're not running dungeons properly.
