It's not entirely crazy, most people will PuG then leave, and don't really run with any sort of trials guild, I would hazard that most are either terrified they can't pull 35k dps, or have 5% lower health, or anything else that will either
A.) make them fear being called out or kicked
B.) make them fear being in groups like the first two you described.
While I do not blame you for leaving, and I think pretty much anyone would leave in those situations, it's not mind blowing to think that most of the playerbase deals with either all negative or mostly negative group experiences. Remember, those players you dipped out on had a bad experience too, hell, it's probably a worse experience for them than it was for you. (not justifying, just stating a fact)

^^^This, I don't often run trials. Not because I have any issue with them from a difficulty or performance perspective, but because of the elitists that tend to congregate in them. I would much rather spend 4 hours in a dungeon with a group with terrible DPS, than go to a trial just to be told I am not running the gear they think is best for me, regardless of whether or not I am adequately doing my job.

Slam me if you want but the truth is the truth.

I’m not sure WTH is BiS for tanks anymore, but Alkosh/Tourgs/ Lord Warden seems pretty good.

Pugged the daily’s from guilds and zone chat yesterday. Got a solid group and rocked the regular Vet CoA2HM and Banished Cells...I failed the group on BC HM. For the life of me couldn’t keep aggro on 4 daedroths as it repeatedly put me into bubbles. Maybe I was only supposed to keep 2? Can’t remember
Later that night
DPS
Got a really solid group. In fact we would have had a no death run in CoA2HM but My dumb self pulled the fire maw while the tank was outside the room messing around. Still got him to %30 before wipe.
In my head I heard Hiath mutter something about that was definitely your healers fault.
Banished cells was uneventful and the tank and healer dropped before Falkreath Hold.
Other Observations
What is it with healers rocking green balls? I also think it would be better for healer to use Destro Ult or meteor .
