The DPS in that group probably queued for almost an hour, only to have one of the healers leave within a few attempts. That makes you worthy of scorn. This is not a single player game, your actions have effects on other players.
You're completely off base here my friend. Sure, it would be nice if everyone could set aside several hours for repeated attempts on a difficult/long fight, but not everyone can. Everyone should remember that each person has their own priorities and life, and if someone can only spare time for 2 runs, that's what they can spare, it does not make them worthy of scorn or abuse. As much as the OP could/should have made their time constraint clear (perhaps they did so), the other players should equally recognize that in a multi-player party, over the course of 2+ hours, some people will have to leave.
