Now, I know it's not a good idea to join a random PUG in tombs. But sometimes when you're just starting out, you take what you can get. That said, it's not too hard to tell that a group just isn't worth your time.
I took that screen immediately after getting the hell out of that group.
How to tell your group is going to suck...

people saying "gogogogogogoogogogo b4 some1 leaves", or in response to skill checks "omg who cares lets go"
or, a W/Mo who says he has mending, healing hands...........

... if you're with a group of W/Mo's who say to your monk "it's ok we can heal ourselfs just don't die".

When your "Ranger Spike" group has 2 Spike Rangers, 1 trapper, 1 Prot. Monk, 2 W/Mo's, an Echo Nuker, and a Minion Master. 
TheGuildWarsPenguin
When people suspect you of capping mind burn or aura of the lich(which both have no use to a nuker) in hells precipice.

Hey, I use mending.
jonnybegood
well theres allways tale tale signs of what can go wrong. like when in an IWAY PUG, some one asks wich is better to bring, dwarven battle stance or dismember.
Claire Wolf
Or of course the errm.. oh so violent way of asking "zOMGZ R U A HEALERR ??? YOU BETTR HEAL ME IN TEH MISSION OR I WILL CAUSE U DEEEAAAATH!!!"
o.o..... ^ Happened to me, on my monk... With some super ego-tastic Warrior spamming things like that before we entered.. Fun to leave the group or just X out right when it starts with those kind of people.

The "Tank" doesn't know how to tank, or doesn't know what the arrgo circle is.

When they announce "Group looking for one more for mission. We have 2 monks already." and, when you join, you realize their monks' names are Mhenlo and Lina. (True story)

Before heading out to mission, see person from a different group say:
GLF MONKS!
*Come back to outpost after beating mission*
(same person) GLF MONKS!
As if Alesia and Lina don't want to join... although I wouldn't blame them if they didn't. :P
EDIT:
Xue Yi Liang, that isn't a telltale sign of a newb. That's a telltale sign of someone who wants to play the mission TODAY. It's also a sign of someone who isn't 100% reliant on healing power.

It's not so much that they're using henchies (I use them all the time). It's that they felt they had to send out the impression that they had 2 player-monks. - i.e. if they didn't think it was a big deal they wouldn't have announced it at all, right?

"Are we doing the bonus?" ~ Ranger in my group, right before we lost to the Unworthy Spirits in Tombs.

" ... this last option leads to the first one ... its a simple program .. lol
Select noob
send tips
if arrogant exit select

When the Warrior in your THK PuG insists that he's "done this many times before" and that the best strategy for holding the keep is to go out the entrance and rush the Mursaat and Mantle that are attacking.
One and Two
He did and failed Thunderhead many times before. Why do you think he's still there?
Sakora
"OMG im a pve god, i have 3 lvl 20's" then 5 mins later in the disscussion we're talking about caping skills "Where's Snake Dance?"
or
"Im the best tank ever, ive got mending and healing hands" (evil face on my monk) Sure maybe... ok means 1 less person i have to heal. *dies* me "what happend, thought you were the best tank ever"

You know a group is gonna suck....
"if you see more than 3 warriors in a group."
"if the moment you join, you see a large list of people the leader invited, and they are not inconsistant."
"if you are doing a mission post Thunderhead Keep with PuGs."
"if the moment you join, they press enter mission."
"if you or anyone in the group doesn't like Kago."

when you have 2 necros, 3 wammos, 2 rangers and 1 monk in FoW...and when one necro is using level 14 horros and fiends, pet and life transfer :l
and all the wammos use FDS...and the monk is a smiter...we died rather quick

Yes, I am a w/mo, but at least I try to help out as much as possible, but if there is more than 2 of my type, I'd just run for the hills!

As soon as the mission starts, before the modem players are even connected, people are running off in different directions agroing everything in sight.
Players are discussing the relative merits of staff wraps and bow strings, using Trade to show each other their weapons, while the Mursatt slowly circle the group.
The 733T member of the group calls everyone NOOBS in caps, then becomes the first to die. Uncomfortable moment of silence while everyone thinks about whether or not to revive him or just leave the group.

Reminds me of the start of ring of fire mission, where there is a lot of mursaat, and brechnar ironhammer runs in with his hammer screaming "Taste my axe!", and all the wammos follow him...

later that day...

If you join and you see that they have like everyone in the outpost invited to the group...
Those usually end up being groups of people that just spam the team chat with "Does anyone know how to do mission?"

Joined a PUG to the FoW. We teleport in and the first thing our leader says is, "OK. Everybody talk to the NPC."
You should have seen everyone .."wtf?", "don't even joke" etc.
The leader then says, "why not?"
