One of the best tank in our guild is a fireman who plays while on call. He can play from home (and does) but his lag there is too bad for raiding (think 1-3 seconds).
While on call, he usually only gets called out maybe 3 times in 6 hours, and the rest of the guild understands, and he performs well enough that we accept and love having him in raids, though we know he might have to "/afk fire" at any time (it's very rare that he has to leave in the middle of a boss fight, except maybe the 15 minutes of kel thuzad)
It probably also helps that he's well known for being willing to bench himself if a night looks too busy or if his lag is too bad (he actually took himself out of our Sarth3c kill because he thought his lag was hurting the raid (and he always finds a replacement first))
