Since 2014 I've largely eschewed group dungeons because I run magicka-based alts and they're slow. Before my brain tumor was removed in February I was continually disoriented when others in groups ran off and I lost sight of them.
Since February my confidence has returned AND I've put Wild Hunt rings on all my alts. Sadly, while I can usually keep up with 2 or 3 of the party, there's invariably one that runs off sometimes leaving us behind locked doors or leaving mobs behind that attack and slow us even more. I get it, some overpowered dipstick is running the random because he can't solo it and get the points. But that's one selfish SOB disregarding two or three people who've waited in queue for half an hour.
Highly recommend running speed in dungeons be capped.

Yeah I'm sorry op, the onus is on you to find like minded players.
And I really hope you do, because congratulations on recovering from your tumor! Wonderful that you're seeing improvements and regaining confidence!
Have you tried asking these people to please slow down?

Or stop playing with complete random people instead of setting a rule that every single person needs to follow.

LOL ... well, first off, with my physical limitations typing while trying to run a dungeon is a near impossibility. Second, stopping to type only puts me farther behind. I'm a retired Marine and it's very much in my psychic makeup to NOT want to let my party down. That's probably what bothers me most about not being able to keep up.
I belong to five active guilds, but trying to get more than one normal dungeon run amongst them in any given day is an act of God, and that's saying a lot because I'm on about 12 hours daily

It's quite possible that a simple "please slow down" will help with at least some of the dungeon runs you have problems with. It doesn't need to be something long.

I can type very quickly. When I type, "Please slow down, can't keep up," I sometimes get the most toxic replies. At best, someone will type, "LOL." That isn't any help, but at least its not that offensive. But responses are often insulting. Now, I'd gladly take the insults, if it meant they slowed down enough for me to keep up. Oh, well.
My main healers now carry alternate versions of my gear sets, with Stamina enchantments on certain armor pieces and Stamina regen on certain jewelry pieces. I have been known to swap to the Stamina gear during a dungeon run (literal, "run"). Of course, this means less heals and buffs, but that's how it goes. Of course, then the healer gets toxic insults for not giving enough heals and buffs.
Not meant to be "baiting": I have rarely seen this behavior (by other players towards the healer) on the EU PC server, only on the NA PC server.
