1) focus fire. All DPS needs to be on one target at a time. The others can be crowd controlled with spells / abilities such as Polymorph (mage), Sap (rogue), Repentance (ret paladin) etc.

2) Tank needs to understand that he must build threat on all mobs, not just the mob people are hitting, because the healer is building threat on all mobs.

3) Don't AFK for long periods. Get in a rhythm.

4) Be patient with each other. Fighting never made a problem better.

5) Pay attention to what mobs are doing. Mobs cast spells that can be interrupted. They have buffs that can be stolen or dispelled. They heal each other, etc.

I wouldn't have thought to say that, but it's very true that if you have to wait someone for 15 minutes it can break the rhythm of the group even if you were doing well.
