I afk all the time in WOD as a tank, I always pull the first trash pack hastily, then the first boss, because I hate my time being wasted by half a dozen ready checks and for paladins to stoneskin their entire party. After that I spend 70% of my time auto-attacking because I find that place fills me with a sense of ennui, so I tab out. If my measly 250dps is enough to prevent a wipe, well that's one awful group of 15 DPS. When I go in as a Scholar, unless I am in the MT group, I mostly afk it too, I also wouldn't object to an AFK off tank, it means I actually get a bit of a challenge with healing or using Fluid Aura + Repose.
