Knowing the MMO vocabulary (acronyms) can be helpful. Here is a page on Horriftic intentions.
Learning to chat effectively is also important in groups. i.e. in your chat box type /g to switch to guild, /p to switch to party (including your group in a raid), /ra to switch to raid, /say to talk to anyone in a limited radius. Right-clicking your portrait will give you grouping options. Open the raid panel with "y", and you can do some things in there, especially if you're the leader.

If you want to know about something while ingame, just ask. While there are always going to be one or two "unhelpful" people out there (and it's the same in any group in RL) most players will help you with good answers or let you know the best place to find what you're looking for.
That said, also check out the stickied thread at the top of this forum section. There is a lot of good information there, too.
