One of "Best fails" I remember, happened to my OT some time ago. He "somehow" charged Ultraxion into the air as he was flying to us and fell off the platform.
My own fails are the usual ones like turning boss into the raid, tanking in dps spec and so on. My last one was on warlord "And no fear, that bad black ball won't harm you. I sent it away"

Charging in with a shield that has very low durability left, breaks in mid fighting, resulting in a wipe.

I knew that warrior can charge off the gunship, when charging to dragons, and madness platform when charging towards corrupter. But I did not know that a death knight can back peddle over the ships board to find a perfect spot to cleave a dragon while tanking the 2 big melee mobs). I blamed lag and quickly turned the topic into sooooooomething else :>

- Tank in healer spec... "Sup with my hp!?"
- Tell the group that the fighting was easy and healer was good. Next figh... I am glad it went fast...
- Not watch my back while kiting.
- Wrong gear, right spec.
- Forgot demoralizing roar

Most likely a lot more.

I had my ts talk key on Z and X is sitting down. The first time we did Morchok hc(I was leading the raid) I pressed x while talking, sat down and got a 200k crit in the face right after a stomp:D

Oh I learned something new today. If you taunt Blackhorn with 3 sunders on you, and have a dragon breathing, that might kill you at the moment game registers 'taunt'.

The amounts of time I forget Righteous fury and blood presence, suggest that have memory of a jelly fish.

Out of my latest bloopers, is probably that jelly fish brain and the Wimbledon Boss. How many times have YOU made the 'ball' spawn on the wrong side because you are on tank-auto mode and turn boss from the raid soon as pull it ? :>


I did that last week. XD
My guildmates had a right laugh about it on Vent...

Oh and I popped Bubble (twice!) while tanking Zon'ozz because I needed all my cooldowns ...
Of course we wiped both times.

Took it off my action bar after that night... lol

I was tanking warmaster and i changed my recount table place, when i pulled i seemed had no aggro, i had to taunt my add all the time from damage dealers. I was like wtf for a moment and we wiped. After that i saw my gear was on red... Mmm that explains my health was only 130k. XD

Righteous Fury: disabled. "Why aren't I generating enough threat?" Oops.

Thinking I'm on my death knight. Pull a pack of mobs and wonder why I don't block any damage. I'm using a 2hander...

Oops.

Forgetting to turn on Blood Presence on my DK. Forgetting to turn OFF Blood Presence on my DK.

Honestly, sometimes I just have the memory of a goldfish.

On my warrior, i charged one of the drakes on Blackhorn accidentally. I was like "wtf" at that moment, and i was standing on the very edge of the ship. Out of surprise and frustration, i jumped forward and fell xD I quickly said that it was a bug...........(was an LFR group).

Same thing happened with Ultraxion, i hit intercept and went to the edge of the platform, and i jumped forward out of surprise xD I didn't die from the fall atleast......heroic leap ftw..

Haha well , I used Raidwall on one of the platforms on Madness to provide some help towards our healers while we were killing single target tentacles, without thinking i might have to use it for impale as I normally take it first. I also had Rally Cry expended as it was used on Fast bolt. As a result i got stomped.

Next try I used charge while being midair jumping between the platforms. I hit the side of the Platform and fell into the fire. :P
