For the most part, interuptions aren't something I plan for. I play largely very early in the morning (see: now, 6:30 AM my time) or in the late evening (7:40-9ish) because my work schedule is a bit odd. If anyone is calling or knocking at the door during those times, its usually pretty important.

I will type afk every time, and as one DPS I don't think that's a big deal. You can usually keep going with 2 DPS and be fine, and I'll catch up and rock your meters again momentarily.

On my healer, I'm far more choosey about when and how I afk. If it is a phone call, I won't answer it or I'll try and talk and heal at the same time so as not to bother anyone. If it is something that can't be handled within moments, I'll apologize and drop group. Healer ques are not tank ques, and usually they'd be going by the time I got back if it is something I feel will take a little while to deal with.

Generally, I won't que unless I'm confident I'll have an hour of uninterrupted play time.
