Going into an instance blind and working it all out from scratch is awesome fun - IF all of the folks participating with you are on board with it. I play the game with a static party of five members, and for all the four-man stuff that is what we did.

Sadly, this was a practice we had to set aside once we got to the eight-man stuff. It's flat-out disrespectful to the party members who fill out our eight to go in blind, and so we study up ahead of time.

So, my advice when you want to indulge in this particular pleasure is to use Party Finder to gather a group, rather than dive into Duty Finder and ruin the days of seven other living, breathing human beings who are paying just as much for this game as you are. Make it clear in the Party Finder that experience is not required, nor is watching videos or any other sort of preparatory studying. That party will fill faster than you might think! There are always plenty of inexperienced players looking for practice, and often even a few experienced players willing to show the newbies the ropes.

This might work for DDs, but if you're a healer or a tank and you pull this, the "option to remove you" is actually "the option to either sit on our thumbs for a half our or more and pray that a new tank or healer joins, or keep the nub healer/tank and pray they shape up in less time than it would take to get a new one". :P
