For me, I have two conditions for the commendation: you're nice and you do a good job. Automatic disqualifiers include being a jerk, whining when things go wrong (as opposed to identifying a problem calmly and offering a potential solution), attacking targets in the wrong order when they're marked, or repeatedly breaking crowd control once we've all agreed to use it. Easy ways to get a commendation from me are to explain fights if someone new is in the group, be new to the instance but do a good job (not perfection, of course; I mean following along, learning, and doing your best 
-- we were all newbies once, and I have a soft spot for the awesome newbie ), be DPS and know when and how to use your abilities, or be the healer and save the group when something goes horribly wrong (tank DC, for instance).
In low level roulettes, often I find it's challenging to decide who to give the commendation to; in those situations, I usually lean towards DPS because it's so easy to play DPS poorly, and so good DPS players stand out to me.
EDIT: Also, I find it very annoying when someone asks for commendations (reminding people to do it is one thing, asking specifically to be given one is another). Such a person will never get a commendation from me.
