Regarding Stonecore, don't forget that the initial trash packs before Corborus are seriously hard. You've got a whirlwinder that applies a killer bleed to melee, mobs which transform into aoe-ing giants, and the gnome himself, who aoe's shadowbolts at people and is generally a pain in the ass.
If you PuG and have less than 3 decent CC methods, and the tank is averagely geared, you will have a stressful time getting through them.

The worst are the tanks that still think they can tear in there and hold all of them without CC. Had to leave a Pug Stonecore the other day because the tank refused to let any of us CC.

@muse:

I left a Grim Batol heroic last night on my healer. We had a rogue and a boomkin, then a paladin tank and dps warrior from the same guild. The pally was aoeing the first few pulls, and after we wiped on the second group we told him to let the rogue Sap and let the druid Hibernate a dragonkin. No response, the rogue saps a humanoid next pull, then the paladin immediately runs in and throws down Consecrate. Right on top of the sapped mob.

I at least had the decency to announce I was leaving right after that pull, and so did the druid.
