Speed Run Through Naxx

Last night was not a good night. First we had enough interest and applicants to run both heroic and regular Naxx, unfortunately I think everyone was more interested in running the heroic and saving the regular for the weekends, so only the heroic went. Then to cause more confusion, besides the disconnecting and lag due to Wintergrasp, one officer started the invites and DH had to work with what we started with, almost 20 people at that point. It was very confusing and several officers and raiders dropped to allow trials with new applicants. Another issue also surfacing tonight was the volume of new applicants has increased significantly. I think its becoming unwieldly for the way the guild is run now, but that's just my opinion. Meanwhile, I was also getting dinner for the two of us. Then all of a sudden, the main tank (also an officer) running the raid and DH decided to go. No warning, just pulling trash mobs! Not everybody had zoned in or had buffs and as we moved we were told there would be time before the first boss to buff and do other things. I could have lived with that, as I had promised one of the other officers to make flasks for him, but that's not what happened! Instead we got to the first boss and then DH was saying we're going in ten seconds. I had just started to make the flasks. Both the officer and I protested, but to no avail. I had to wait to finish the flasks trade them back over and then we got into the fight. I hadn't taken my own flask, nor did I have a food buff. The officers decided to discuss this in the officer channel after we completed the wing. I had yet to decide how I was going to deal with DH and there were too many other things going on to talk to him about it at the time.

The next problem we encountered was when a purple bind on pickup dropped in the first mobs after the first boss. DH as master looter was still auctioning the items from the first boss and so wasn't there. When they finally did auction it off, the person who won it couldn't pick it up. Both DH and the player sent in help tickets. Both were then told later by GMs that the other would have to send in a ticket and they would fix it from their end. Needless to say, it was still not fixed by the end of the night.

My next issue, is my own, I haven't decided yet if this became an issue because of the other problems last night or if it has been stewing for a while now. Basically, DH is a priest, lately he has been going as DPS and not healer, but that's has nothing to do with the issue. I'm consistently the last to get healed and the last to get resurrected. Yes, there's an order for resurrecting and the healers do the best they can to heal everyone. But I think everyone is expecting a little nepotism and he would automatically heal or resurrect me next. That has not been the case and DH doesn't feel its appropriate to show me ANY favoritism. Its just a game and we're not supposed to be a hard core raiding guild. Show me some love!

The last issue is what I think created all these other little problems, or at least exasperated them. DH and the main tank saw a video on speed runs through Naxx and were determined to try some of the ideas it gave. It didn't speed anything up. In fact, we slowed down. We completed three Quarters last week, Spider, Plague and Military, on the first night. Yesterday, we didn't get to the last boss in the Military Quarter. Instructor Rasuvius held us up. We wiped a couple of times on him.

I think I've decided we need to discuss this, but I'm not sure I'm ready to do this in person. I'm considering emailing him, but I don't think that's appropriate either. I know he is still stewing on the officers discussion, and that may be what's making me hold up having this discussion with him. I don't want to make it too much for him. He's still a little sick from his cold last week and I made him stay home from work yesterday because he still didn't sound good.
