I'm real guilty of coming to raids unprepared when it comes to food, potions (Mostly in terms of elixirs) and I just plain forget to enchant things. I know some guilds that're hard core give a requirement for potions each class need to have on them for a raid. If you show up without them, some fat kid in a Megadeth T-shirt scolds you.

Dreadwind's maxed out in Herbalism and Alchemy (The guy who controls him just winds up picking fights or thinking any 5-man instance would be triple the fun of flower picking). 

Alphatrion is just a pretty hit man. Though he may take up engineering one day, so he'll probably not be of any use to anyone. As if that was a surprise.
