    ^This. This. This.

    Scenario A.)
    -Spend 15 minutes to get to first boss.
    -Wipe.
    -Leave group, take 15 minute queue penalty.
    -Requeue
    -Spend 15 minutes to get to first boss.
    -Spend 25-30 minutes to complete dungeon.

    1 dungeon run = 65-70 minutes.

    Scenario B.)
    -Spend 15 minutes to get to first boss.
    -Wipe
    -2 minutes to explain fight.
    -Win
    -Spend another 25-30 minutes to complete dungeon.

    1 dungeon run = 42-47 minutes AND someone else now knows how to do dungeon.

    Granted, times may vary depending on the group, but you get the jist of it. Take 2 minutes to explain the damn fights. Even if you wiped 3 more times on scenario A, it still takes less time.

    Also, if you are going to have the attitude of "1 wipe and I'm out", then have fun with the possibility of doing this 2-5 times and taking 5 hours to do ONE dungeon.
