They can't drop it often, they often drop it directly into the raid, damaging the entire group, or they ignore it altogether if it's moving somewhere far behind the raid. Just do +Rele. It's much easier. It's easier to explain what - blue screen, swap, count to 10. That's it. I've gone to vCR+1 with a 10-year-old group finder once already and 99% of the time it's always +Galenve. And 99% of the time I leave after 3-4 wipes.
Nature of going into vCR with pugs is as such
For Frost mech, you need 2DD's to know what they are doing and the rest of the group are free from any additional mechs. As a DD joining vCR, this is my preferred +1 mech. Because I know I can always pick it up and the worst that can happen is one guy freezing due to missing the synergy.
Bar swap seems to be easy to handle, but you are trusting all members to properly and patiently swap bars. I have heard excuses like "my addon was not showing correctly"...well your entire screen is blue! This puts a bit extra pressure on tanks and healers as well. Worst thing that can happen is an instant wipe.
We do not talk about fire mech. Many friendships have been betrayed on this mech.

Fire stack is easy ,
There’s only 3 places a DD should be in that entire fight
On the bosses tail
Stacked on portal (to reach the creepers and only when transiting boss jumps)
In the portal doing them
I don’t know how many people get it so wrong
Let the healers do the darkness kite and shards
Upstairs. Nominate 2 dds for hoarfrost. 2 for portals (and a backup if needed)
There. That’s plus 3 done
