We had a 10k Cho'gall wipe once. We had gone beyond the end of our raid time and everyone was dragging, but it was still heartbreaking. The forums the next day were full of, "if I'd just popped my fire elemental earlier..." "I was reaching for Lay On Hands when he killed me..." "If I had taken my potion when I thought about it..."

Everyone in the raid had something they could have done for that last bit of damage. We went in the next day and one-shot him easily.

Close misses are really great for getting people to think of little ways to improve their performance, which often results in permanent skill gains from the players involved. I saw marked improvement in a number of people's performances after that night.
