We should be able to pause the timer.
Just had a hell of an AD run because for some reason my keyboard and mouse lost all their settings. I couldn’t reset it either during the run because it’s on a timer that can’t be paused. So, GG key.

Yes!
You answered your own question. 
It’s timed content. Pausing on every pull woudl defeat the purpose.

But it should be pausable in case things happen.
SC2 is a real time strategy game but you can pause it.

They didn’t stop functioning, I just lost the keys I had bound in icue. It took like 3 minutes to fix after the dungeon. I had to click abilities that were bound to my mouse.
then you would have probably made the timer anyways if you just fixed it mid dungeon
No, we missed the timer by a few seconds. We wiped when it happened because I couldn’t heal. No pause = GG.
Because you clicked your abilities instead of putting the 1-2 most important keys back in? 
No, because it happened when we were fighting rezan so we wiped.
oh well happens 
better luck next time.
I have an Atal Dazar in bags if you want to run it

“Okay boys first trash pack done let’s pause and wait for cooldowns”

I don’t think they meant that the cooldowns recover. But I think it would defeat the purpose strong enough to be able to discuss how to handle something between each pull or even mid-pull

How would you wait for cooldowns if you’re paused and they don’t recover and you can’t move?
I dunno.
The OP didn’t say anything about that so I just went with it.
OK so there are 5 players in the same dungeon. Who has the power to pause the game and is there a timer on pause too? I would be p*ssed if someone pauses my gameplay for two hours and I couldn’t do anything during that time

When my kids suddenly decides to get out of bed and run around the house screaming, i really wish i could pause the timer. Luckily doesnt happen too often 
i can see why its not an option though, would be too easy to just pause and plan every hard pull when you get there instead of planning before key starts.

They have pausing in SC2, a real time strategy game. They can pause games in Overwatch too if players gear breaks during the tournaments. They wouldn’t just sit there and go “oh, that’s too bad”.

You can just stop. Timer is only relevant if you are going for the achievement or if you want to improve your number in an external addon.
If you want timed run then currently you just gotta sit down and make the same sacrifice as everybody else in one sitting (unless the group has the content locked down).
Timer does also contribute to the quality of weekly loot but the difference is litterally one key!
This is actually THE reason I stopped running heroics (MoP) and eventually Mythics because there was always a chance this might happen and I hate it

It rarely costs us the key, but its annoying when it happens
