"In both normal and heroic dungeons you'll find that some bosses are optional. In other words you don't have to kill them to complete the instance. On the one hand, you just want to get your random done quickly so you can get your points and get on with life. On the other hand, there's loot and more points to be had! These can be a point of contention in groups so for today's tip, we recommend for you to take the initiative at the beginning of the instance. Ask if the group intends to do the optional bosses or not. Vote on it if you need to but make sure everyone agrees so there's no disputing later when the group is getting tired and the instance is getting long."

Skipping bosses, when the decision is made unilaterally (which it almost always is), is a dick move.

I wish they'd either give us inventive to kill all the bosses or gate the last boss of each instance. I can see arguments from both sides, and those arguments change each run, but it sucks that some people have to get screwed because of it.

If the decision is made unilaterally, you still have the option to kick the guy...

All dungeons should be a straight hallway where you can never skip any boss or any trash.

Or maybe not.

If you want a boss, declare it at the start. That is your best bet for making it happen.
