First question I ask a coercer is "what do you think about betraying?", and I play a coercer. I Re-rolled to a warlock... Raids just don't accommodate multiple coercers like they do multiple Illusionist or other classes. Did you ask em how many enchanters they carry, or even give the guy a chance to explain why he was not "promising" to AD3 recover for you... or why the apparent change of heart for coving them.
No one cries when an SK is told the same comments... it doesn't mean they are a suck class but it's raiding not hand holding and kumbaya. Personally D12 might have dodged a bullet at someone who is so likely to /rage_quit over a bruising to the class ego. It's easy to say "I only want to betray if I'm promised to be covered on AD3's" .. at which point the recruiter says "well I gotta talk to the leaders but there's a good chance, but I can't promises... " seriously.. you were expecting him to foot the bill out of his own pocket on your first contact chat. He might not even have seen your gear, or played with you, or looked into references yet. You still might suck in his eyes or whoever holds the purse in the guild.
Anyone who goes afk for a large portion of the recruitment first contact, comes back and puts the recruiter on /ignore after the first time they tell you they aren't so excited that they want to have your babies and preach the word of coercer hotness... Who puts someone on ignore for saying a class sucks? Did they spam you did they run a campaign to have the class deleted from the game... wtf. /boggle
If your gonna get all but-hurt over just your class being slammed a little how you gonna take it when you're not performing one night or do a bonehead move and the raid leader asks, wtf are you doing?

you can't be all business and open to ideas if you can't take a little hit to the ego.
Criticism is soooo deep into raiding and there isn't the luxury of putting the RL on ignore cuz he said you, your class, or even your beloved dying grandma is sucking. You would think someone who is claiming such raid experience would understand how important that would be. You might be great people and very good player even, but taking criticism like a champ or rolling with an "all business attitude" about raiding, "open to ideas" no less, you did not portray. You weren't being laid back either you got panties bunched like Gesari on a hot date just cuz he criticized your class.
IMO roll with it little better, lose the coercer sensitivity chip and lobby for coercer rights and recognition in raid roles in the class forums, not your perspective Raid leaders or Guild officers. It's not this guys fault that people don't want multiple coercers, or any for that matter, for a raid. It's their raid you are trying to get into, and you didn't show them you were worth fighting for making a coercer seat IMO.
