seriously...every class I've ever had has contained a bunch of people who bitch about the professor and complain as if they really care even if he is an excellent teacher....

There will always be students who complain and will try to do the bare minimum. It is best to not worry about those students and focus on those who care.
My adviser told me a story about the first time he taught a class. There were a couple students who were not doing well but weren't coming to him for help. My adviser wanted to 'save' these students and asked his former adviser (my 'grand-adviser') for advice.
His former adviser asked him, "What kind of class do you want? If you want the students to reach their full potential, you cannot spend all your time helping those who do not want to be helped at the expense of others."
