    I don't believe in this at all and never will. If your FC is raiding and requires it, thats on them, but when I see one or more players are new I do my little schpiel for every fight. I go into detail and use humor, all the DPS I have trained come out champs by the end. I have never once run out of time on any run and I use DF exclusively.

    If I'm new, I say so and let others explain it. Being the tank, I have the benefit of DPS who don't want to wait another long queue so they bear with it.

    This. I don't expect anyone to come into any dungeon prepared for it the way I want them to be (lucky for them, I don't have any personal "requirements" for how I want people to be prepared for a dungeon, even if it's their first time at it). If people know it, great. If people don't, then I show them I'm the furthest from an angry tank they'll get and start talking with humor about any major issues to keep an eye out for. I don't go into detail unless asked for it because I also don't assume that every new player to a dungeon wants their run gift-wrapped for them. Call me crazy, but for me, the worst way I can think of for random players to match up together is to have expectations that they all magically conform to exactly how I think they should play, and then look down on them if they don't. That's just silly.
