Pulling out my hair in razorfen downs

So the dungeon started out fine, i'm healing, tank is superb, barely have to heal him. dps is decent, so i'm okay, this is a good group. Tank even asks if anyone needs quests, i do, and so do one other dps. So we start going, kill the spider boss, keep going, hit up the mid dungeon quest where we have to escort a guy, i need it, thought the tank was with us, escort dude starts running off, i follow the escort guy. Now, in hindsight, i see that was my horrific mistake.
However...tank see's that i'm not following so he stops moving, but does not follow me and the dps, and just spams ? while i'm trying to keep the dps alive while we fight a ton of nasties trying to kill the escort. One of the other dps'ers figures out what we're doing and comes and helps. I finally get killed since nobody is really holding agro. i rez, go back, the two dps go right back for the escort, but the escort is dead, we kill the mobs. I go back to the tank and the third dps. the three of us continue the dungeon, the other 2 dps are going back to restart the escort quest on their own, no healer. Tank group continues along no real problems, missing 2 dps, but we're moving along.
Suddenly a crap ton of mobs come up from behind and slaughter me without me even having a chance. Rez again, run into dungeon, and for some reason there is now a dozen nasties at the entrance. 2 players are there, i honestly had no idea which group it was, the 2 dumb dps, or the tank and good dps, get wiped again. At this point, party chatter is all in spanish, i don't speak any spanish, or portugeuse or whatever it was. I ask if anyone speaks english, i get random non-english responses, with the only word i can grasp is somebody calling the other one retardo. I'm fed up cause the group can't seem to pull together. So i bail out of the group.
Now, being only level 43, i really want to get exp, so i pretty much re-que right up as a healer, and to my complete disbelief, i get sent into the same dungeon group that i just quit out of. Didn't know that was even possible. Luckily, i'm in the part of the dungeon with the good tank, and we start moving again, the other 2 dumb dps are still trying the escort quest, we kick them both, get 2 new dps and finish the dungeon without further issues.
edit- added some paragraphs

Moral of the story, communicate with your group so stuff like this doesn't happen.

Escort quests = death.
Last week, I had the idiot Hunter companion from Shado-pan dailies inexplicably run-off mid-fight and aggro 3 other groups of mobs.
I swear on all that is holy, I believe escort quests are secretly designed to make even the most polite and well-mannered among us swear at our computer screens.
@OP I think the Razorfen Downs escort is supposed to be done
after
you've cleared the trash.
p.s. Your post would have been much more readable if you'd used paragraphs.
Once upon a time, in Skettis...

And you read the part where he said they were speaking a different language right?

Of course it's possible, especially with rare roles (though while levelling, even DPS can be a rare role) as the group you just left is put at the front of the queue, and if there was no other healer queuing, you are the next in line.

That happened to me in BRC a couple years ago. It was a lousy group and the healer was an arrogant jerk. After wiping twice on Corla, he bailed. We requeued and within 30 seconds the same guy popped in.
Based on what he was saying (the nonsense aposduglkhj 70thjba;klvhcj) I think that he may have popped that vein in his forehead in anger. It was hilarious.

If they were speaking a different language, then how did the OP know the tank asked if they needed the quests?

It may have happened, but I might not have known because the groups I were in rarely talked.
But if the tank spoke english, it means he probably understood English. If the OP just mentioned it, the tank would have came back. But no, like a lot of people they go off without saying anything. And that is the point I'm trying to make.

if i recall, the only time anyone else typed english was at the beginning right before the spider boss, tank did ask who needs quests. i said yeah, other dps just typed the letter y. that was the last english i saw. After that, only speech from tank was just a string of ?.
My toon is still 43, so i'm sure i'll probably get thrown into razorfen downs at least once more, might be able to get the other quests done, but i'll be glad to be done with it. I've done plenty of dungeons with non-english speakers before with very few problems, but this was by far the worst. Dungeon became a 2 1/2 man run, with me the healer being the half man since i couldn't seem to communicate with anybody and at first was with the dps'ers doing the escort, and then with the tank trying to slug through the dungeon with only 1 dedicated dps along for the ride.
glad that in later dungeons in game, they are much more linear for the most part, guess the designers learned a thing or two from the very much non-linear set up for razorfen downs. Even Razorfen Kraul has an escort quest after you finish the dungeon which i was actually able to do as i leveled up.

@FTPtwink- I have a level 30-something shaman who happens to know those patterns, and I consistently get cheap perfect deviate scales on the AH and turn them into the belt which sells for 150-200 gold.
