Sometimes, you just have to put up with certain people and their quirks, so long as they aren't *totally* horrible.
We have a lot of great players in our guild. Some of them you just have to know how to inspire/ push. Our hunters are capable of amazing dps, but most days, slack as much as they can get away with just because that's what they're like. We recently recruited a new hunter, in worse gear than them, who is Marks spec (which *should* do less dps than BM). I told the hunters I wanted to see some real competition.
They pushed the dps all night, regularly coming top 5 (as in 2-3 hunters in the top 5, putting out 1300+ dps) ... and the recruit was on their tail the entire night, as Marks. It really made them realize how much they were capable of, and having the new guy around, who *doesn't* have the lazy attitude that some of the others affect, will probably result in a raid-wide dps improvement.
You need some people who constantly, always, every fight push the dps meters. Those people pull up the bar for everyone else. If you don't have this, and are satisfied with mediocrity, the attitude will pervade everything you do.
