Obviously you have played with some people who pissed you off. Otherwise you wouldnt have bothered with this thread.
Im a warlock who does put on self res when it is needed. There are a few situations that ill explain.
1) Crota Raid Traversing the Abyss: If your group, including yourself, have trouble staying alive on the bridge pad a self revive might be your saving grace. A warlock and titan unlike a hunter have supers, nova bomb and fist of havoc which do not last longer than 8 seconds. This makes the self revive a long term back up used to "possibly" save a team in a situation where a teams fire power or teamwork fails.
2) Vault of Glass (majority of raid): Running with a team that has insufficient fire power, or experience, can put a lot of pressure on players. Sometimes it gets the better of you as you attempt to bite off more than is possible. Sometimes youre forced to carry a team in situations that no class using any super will last to the end. This gives a warlock an interesting choice. Use self revive and stay alive while completing your object, or run a super like nova or radiant skin etc and hope to pull it off.
So while one could argue a team might last longer with a warlock creating orbs, most experienced warlocks are actually planning for the worst. Warlocks who die a lot, or you could just say are playing more casually, should use it so we can keep them in the game.

What pisses me off about self-res is that people use it instead of learning to not need it. You get so many people who rely on the ability of someone within the team to self-res and save the day that you just get crap players everywhere. I'd rather people wipe and learn from their mistakes.

Or finish it, and still learn from your mistakes. Doesn't matter when, could be when you are taking a dump too. Just realize what went wrong, and how to prevent it again

Problem is, people don't learn from their mistakes because the self-res means they basically haven't happened. It sweeps the mistakes under the carpet and pretends they're not there.

well naturally everytime we die in this game, we know why we died. So we've learned by force of habbit to avoid that situation the best way we can in the future. HOWEVER, this does not appear to apply to girls who join raids to talk to guys apparently and act like the center of attention... They dont seem to ever learn
