Too harsh?

Last night in the Timeless Isle i am just finishing off the weekly, gathering epoch stones from trash mobs around the island and i ride past a L86 Priest kiting small groups, obviously for XP i guess and pass by leaving him/her to it.
Once i am past i pick out a small group of birds, aggro the first to get the groups attention and as they approach me ready for me to freeze and blizzard them, i see the priests AOE attack come in and tag the rest of the group which he/she gladly leaves me to finish off for him/her.
Now i am a fair guy on the whole and will help out anyone who asks, but when people take advantage, it does annoy me, so the conversation went something like this;
Me: WTF?
Them: Well everyone else is a $%^& to me, so why shouldn't i be
Me: When was i a ^&*! to you (never seen them before)
Them: idc. (I don't care)
Me: Nice attitude
Them: Thanks
So as that wound me up a little more, i decided to teach them a lesson in manners, waited for them to pull another group of slow bugs (which they could easily kite) and pulled a group of birds across their path which of course aggroed against their AOE attack and killed them in seconds flat with their last dying words being "Sry" (little too little, too late in my annoyed state)
Them: Just let me have these
Me: idc.
Them: Oh hahahahah
I whispered afterwards to explain that if they had just asked, they could have followed me around the island and picked up XP from my kills quite happily without resorting to stealth tactics.
I did feel a little guilty afterwards, but why do people have to automatically assume that everyone is that way in games these days and not just ask for a little help?

Don't worry about that one, you're not responsible that they were angry.

If he grabbed the tag, you should have hit Ice Block and grinned as the entire group murdered him.

You had every right to be upset, and while your response was a bit harsh, it was not undeserved.
The reason everyone assumes that everyone else is an ass is likely because every time they try to ask for help, those horrible craptards nuke them to pieces for asking.
Happened to me when I first started playing in 2007, the second dungeon I had ever attempted.
That person (the healer, actually) was so horrible, and the experience so traumatic, that I didn't run another dungeon until almost the end of Wrath, when they implemented the Finder tool. And after I had found a decent guild willing to teach new players.
You get jaded pretty quickly, and the decent folks out there aren't vocal enough or prevalent enough to overcome the giant background noise that is the Troll Squad.

Yeah, i guess that i forget sometimes how lucky i have been with guilds over the years and that i just don't tend to absorb the negative stuff, just let them to it and get on with my own stuff.

He totally got what he deserved- no guilt necessary.

What I would have done in this situation is use the censer of eternal agony to allow myself to be able to attack him directly. That's the nice thing about the isle.

Nothing personal, and I'm just as annoyed by this sort of attitude so I would be just as pissed, but I can't help feelingl this sort of post is just to QQ about specific other players in-game that made someone feel bad. I just don't know if this is really the place for that...

That's a bit unfair, Many forum topics are essentially QQ, People need to vent.
Your reply to the topic in itself is pretty much QQ.

The post story was the background to the question at the bottom about peoples attitude towards people in the game, i could have just made it a one liner i guess but i thought the background worth mentioning and frankly, isn't a general WoW forum the ideal place for that type of thing?
If i had wanted to QQ i would have named names etc, but i was just making a general point :)
