    People don't need to be carried, they need mechanics explaining to them if they're new to the raid and more importantly, they need to be willing to learn.

    No, not really. They don't need to be spoon-fed. They need to stop dying to obvious mechanics and learn their jobs. Seeing people die to Nidhogg's Horrid Roars (ground AoE) twice on the first phase even after wiping a few times is quite sad. I went to Nidhogg completely blind and only died to an AoE because of Jump's animation lock (oh, you silly goon) and it's not like I'm a hardcore raider or anything. Meanwhile, tanks weren't using their defensive cooldowns on add phase and died (could blame the healers too), healers were overhealing non-damage phases and got us wiped a few times on Akh Morn, DPS were doing crap damage and didn't manage to kill adds in time, etc.

    Mechanics are pretty simple and pretty obvious, anyone who's been playing up to 3.3 shouldn't have trouble getting them done. And I definitely shouldn't be forced to tell an AST "please use Nocturnal Sect for shields during Akh Morn" because we aren't getting past silly healing checks.
