Pretty much the only two deal-breakers for me in an FC are required voice chat and the lack of an IC channel. Since I try to keep my RL and my in-game personas separate (hell, I've been told I apparently keep my forum and in-game personas separate, though that's not intentional 
), I'm not a fan of voice chat. Now, sure, if I'm comfortable with people, I don't mind doing it for raiding, but I don't want to be told, "To join us you must have voice chat and you must use it regularly."
The IC channel, for me, ties back to how much I like running instances and doing stuff out in the world. With an IC channel, I can RP even when my character is out and about -- and I can RP about things that are happening in game, such as the insane ninja who keeps leaping in front of giant monsters or the excellent healer who's on the front lines of a battle. I can even use the channel to invite people to meet up ICly and get to know people when they're up to something in the game. Since I get so much use out of IC channels, I don't have a strong interest in joining a group that doesn't have one.
