in short, why is what i want less important than what other people want.
Um, because
1) LFR has to respond to public opinion taken as an aggregate, and
2) there are more of us than there are of you
perhaps?

If I was writing the Tome of Lore, I would let Auppenser sleep. But I also would have him dream.
In his dreaming he re-activates the innate powers of (some) mortal minds. Or his dreaming changes the nature of reality - currently very malleable thanks to Spellplague &c. Or whatever really cool flavor text and pseudo-science explanation people react positively to.

You know, I like that better than the explanations for the Spellplague.

These are all good and make sense! I just can't come up with something that's not covered here and is not completely ridiculous.

(not that the power would have worked on me anyway, but how many times do you see a random player willing to take the hit for someone they just met?)
You done good and should be complemented. WELL DONE. 
In a similar vein, I've noticed that if my StarLock becomes the party's face then I become the unofficial small-l leader. I try to involve the rest of the group - Gondolin may be a social whiz but BRJN is certainly not - so they get a chance to participate, too.
At PentaCon, the core of our group (Ravens Bluff campaign, MINI2-1 through MINI2-3) was actually the dwarven battlerager. When he actually went down, everybody at the table looked at ME (?!) with the "what do we do now?" look. Hey, I'm a ranged Striker; I tear up bad guys from a safe distance. We needed (and had) a Rogue and a Warlord; I advised them to do what their characters do best: grab the McGuffin and hide; heal up our downed man. The dwarf was healed before the Rogue could act, so the crisis was averted. Everybody looked/acted reassured that we will come to each other's aid; I found THAT the most gratifying outcome.
(And two encounters later, it was ME who needed all the help he could get...)

Also, note that at conventions and game days we generally do not get to choose our tablemates. The marshall musters all of the tables. Therefore, I would be unhappy if I received limited rewards because I was mustered with less experienced players, when the entire team succeeded in the mission. This is a team game that we are playing. Sometimes the experts need to help out the novices with the game.
When I played ADCP 2-1H I was added to a pre-existing group of players. They probably thought I was a crazy loon after charging into melee wearing leather armor and burning through almost all my healing surges in the first fight. (I did learn some caution after that.) Despite probably being the weakest player at table, I enjoyed getting to vote on 'best player' (with a gift certificate as prize) - the Warlord, IMHO - and later suggested to LFR that however the module results are reported, some group ought to get a 'You Won the Race' rewards card. Even if it wasn't us, it would be cool. As is, I can claim to be among the most beat-up characters to finish the race; that IS a reward of a sort.
