It was the first random heroic that ever came up for me, and I stuck it out.

lol Yeah, I hate Occ. I know they nerfed it down pretty well, but that hasn't made me hate it less (I guess my hatred for it is more for memorysake).
I'm a healer, but I'm used to using Vuhdo to aid me in the process, and having never run Occ much, I never learned the Emerald Drake role, because it goes back to the conventional way of healing that I've become too spoiled by not having to do.
So pretty much what happens when I get queued for H Occ is: if they'll let me take an Amber Drake and someone else take the Emerald Drake, I'll stay. Otherwise, my priest is in no more need of Triumph emblems (he only needs Frosties), so I can make do with a 15min debuff before I queue again.

My priest wasn't my first toon, but it was the first toon I ever raised to 80 and learned the art of healing (thanks to my guildmaster of course for taking me under her wing), and while I'm learning tanking now with a paladin that I almost have ready for Northrend, I think healing is the only role I'll ever play best.

I love Occ. I don't see what's so bad about it. ESPECIALLY now that it comes with 8 EoT's if you get it random.
I've probably done it like four times and it's still awesome to me.
Still don't have the drake, though....
In reality, I never drop group (unless there's a completely failsome tank/healer), but I always threaten to when I get that one random with the end boss that casts "Insanity," which makes you fight avatars of your other group-mates... I fucking hate that one.

I don't suit any other role than DPS.. I just can't do it. I don't know why.

oh it is really weird when you go non-dps.
hell, i find it kinda hard grouping as my mage, she's so different than my other three main dpsers(same as above but add a DK). all i ever did with her was solo burn, burn, burn-to ******** with mana and just recently tried doing dungeons with her. run out of mana WAY too fast and i dont like using lower level attacks so she isnt made for that s**t. awesome battleground toon though. hiding in a bush in AV and casting pyro blast on 5 people before they find you: awesome

its the reason i love hunters.
md-->steady shot is an awesome way to give the tank a bit to set up agg and you to get some put-shots in. though the new version is lovely i kinda liked old 3-shot version. when i was an MM i could give the tank about 12k in aggro instantly with steady shot followed by chimera shot(which crits every time i ******** breathe).

Oc is easy and short and gives you the best rewards (even in PUGs Ive never had a problem with this instance).
People who leave the group as soon as they see its Oc are a bit retarded. I imagine none of them have even given it a shot since the nerf, and are just too caught up in upholding an old stigma.

Freezing Trap and Wyvern Sting combo does provide a way to eliminate 2 of the 4 for a while, letting me deal with the remaining 2 in relative peace, however.

I fucking hate that one. Ah yes Old Kingdom, I not the biggest fan of that place but I really enjoy the final boss. When he makes us fight our group members i get all warrior beast mode, i'm usually the first one done. those poor healers theyre always the last ones >.>

Apparently no one can spell it.
Oculus.
One C.
And I don't think I hate it because of the instance itself, but moreso the people who only hear bad things about it and don't know what to do.
"Well, I'm a mage and my favorite color is red, so I'll take a red dragon and ignore chat, because I just know I should take the red one."
That's what I think goes through people's minds.
