im always first too it seems like. I've only ever actually gotten ONE summon ever.
Personally im of the mind that if you're GOING to group, then you should be ready to go. Sure sometimes people group up and do stuff WHILE waiting for group to fill out, but thats not nearly the same is it?

I am sometimes first at summon stone. Sometimes I am added to a group that was ready to go, but someone ditched last minute or whatever, and they summon me.
I do not finish quest chains while in a full group.
I might ask for one minute to turn in something like the fishing daily, if I already completed it and was on the way to turn it in when I got added to the group, but that's about it.
It's basic courtesy. The time of the people I agreed to group with is just as valuable as my time. If someone is not available to start within 5 minutes of joining a group for (XYZ) I think they should say so up front, or not accept the invite.

Depends on relative positions of everyone and what i'm doing at the moment. If i'm amongst the nearest to the instance, i'll fly there. If i have nothing to do, i'll fly there. If others are nearer and i'm trying to finish something fast, then i'll wait for the summon.
I will stop what i'm doing when getting the summon though because i don't like waiting myself. Had the case for a "Threat from Above" group, i got grouped, 2 people are there and waiting for someone at the training grounds. 5 minutes later the person hadn't moved, i ask, they say "stop being impatient !". 5 minutes later still nothing, the player is at the same spot on the mini-map. I respec resto, degroup and engage Chillmaw (would have taken me half an hour to kill him but at least i'm doing something, though it ended up faster as other friends came for the same quest right at that moment)

I always make my way to the stone after the group is full. Unless i'm not in Dalaran and my hearth is on CD.
The thing that bothers me is the people who get invited to a group and just sit on their mounts and dont move form the bank steps in Dalaran and say "I need a summon."
I always wonder if people are just being lazy or just dont want to spent the 1+ gold to fly somewhere.
This. As soon as the group is full I start making my way to the instance. 9 out of 10 times I get there and noone else has even started moving to come and help summon. Most people are seriously lazy...

Depends where I am. If I am doing something (e.g. dailies), and the dungeon is in the other end of the world/hearth+flight away, I am likely to wait for summon. Especially if there are people I know are closer. If I am in Dalaran (and not doing Fishing/Cooking daily), I'll usually just grab the flight path to the dungeon - even though my pretty Dragonhawk is usually faster.
But it really depends.

I'm almost always first or second to the summoning stone, but I really don't mind summoning other people.
And yeah, sometimes you gotta indicate "Hey, I'm at the stone, someone join me and we can get started", after a little while it can be good to politely ask whoever is closest on your map to come out and help.
In a pinch I'm willing to use my Wormhole Generator to get to a Northrend instance, though it does have a 4 hour CD....

My friend and I have a mantra:
Last invited
First there
It's a hard and fast rule for all pugs. This one of the Murphy's law of PuGs.
Another one is:
You can only have a tank OR healer. If somehow you have both, you will have really bad dps.

When the group is full, I always ask "Who is going to the stone?"
Ive always felt that the 2 people who can get there the quickest/easiest, get there and start summoning....
When the group is full I always ask "Who is going to help me summon?"
Dalaran is like 3 minutes from everywhere.
