One of the stipulations for raids in just about every World of Warcraft raiding guild is that the players "come prepared". What your raid leaders means by that statement exactly is there.
First and foremost, you should be familiar with the fights. The fights in World of Warcraft raids can be complicated and require different classes to take on different roles during the battle. If there is something special you need to do during a fight, you shouldn't wait to be told about it. You can look the fights up yourself on some sites. Being aware of what is expected of you helps not just you but the entire raid.
Secondly, you may repair your gear before you leave. In World of Warcraft, the more damage you take the more your gear will deteriorate over time. Before long, you will have no armor and not be able to use your weapon. It is awfully embarrassing to have to admit to your raid leader that you need to hold up the raid to go repair. You just do it before you head out.
Thirdly, you must show up on time. We do think no one wants to sit around waiting for you. If you can't show up on time, let your raid leader know.
Fourthly, you can bring your own buff food. There will be times when someone doesn't bother to lay out a feast that provides buff food for the whole raid. Other times, you will be the only one that has died and will have to provide your own food buffs. Part of being prepared is getting to know this and being able to do so.
Fifthly, you can also bring enough flasks or elixirs to last for the duration of the raid. There are flasks and elixirs tailored to each job. If you aren't an alchemist, find someone who is and offer to provide the materials for your flasks or purchase them off the AH. However you choose to acquire them, make sure you have them.
Sixthly, you are able to bring bandages. You should max out your first aid skill no matter what. If you aren't a tank, you must understand that tanks get healing priority. There will be times when a healer doesn't have the mana or time to heal you. You should be willing and capable of stopping attacking and bandaging yourself in order to stay in the fight.
Seventhly, you should make certain that you are gemmed and enchanted. You don't show up for a raid in a piece of new gear that you have forgotten to gem or enchant. You can't contribute to successfully the raid's success if you can't contribute to your own.
Lastly, you don't get saved. If you PuG a raid and kill a boss, you'll become saved to that raid and not be able to run the raid with your guild. Before Pugging, you should ensure that your guild doesn't intend to run that particular raid later on in the week. Your chances of success are typically better with your own guild, and they need you as well.
