The announcement that in the next patch you will be able to trade Frozen Orbs for useful things like Frost Lotus and higher-level orbs has increased the number of orb ninjas by an order of magnitude.
I've started hitting this macro just before the last boss in heroic pugs.

That being said, stating it up front is a good idea to avoid confusion. Up til now, I've just been waiting until everyone else rolls. If someone needs, I need, otherwise I roll greed.

Since the announcement that the orbs were going to be useful again, though, I've seen an order of magnitude more needing, often from people who waited until everyone else had already rolled. To me, that spells ninja.

"often from people who waited until everyone else had already rolled" — I ..."often from people who waited until everyone else had already rolled" — I agree there. That's the act of a ninja. However, I've also seen the person who is the first person to roll, roll need. If someone rolls greed after that, I don't think they have any cause to complain.

Took me a while to get used to Blackrock loot rules as Destromath's rules was to need anything BoE.
Frozen Orbs are useful for everyone and everything now.
Just need them.
