Etiquette in instances

Last night I was in heroic arc to get the daily heroic completed & check off 1 more item on my trial of the naaru quest. It was a mixed run, part guild\part pug (tank was grabbed from lfg list.) Things were going quite well apart from the occasional silly wipes (maggots w 4k health etc.) After we downed bosses #2 & #3 our hunter had to leave to get work done, so we took a 5 minute to swap him out & get another hunter & to let the healer get food. This 5minute bio break extended into a half hour due to our healer going afk because of burnt pizza. Because of this I couldn't finish the run & now have to rerun it again.
Now I know that afk will happen & there are some things that are beyond anyone's control but I believe there should be a instance afk timer. AKA if your gone for more than 10 minutes without any update on why you were gone, it should be ok to kick you from the run. WOW is a group activity after all & to keep 4 people waiting (& if our healer reads this post not singling you out you were just the example that brought up this post!) it should be ok to grab someone else.
