First things first, hitting 70 i decided to embark on my Druid epic flight-form quest. For those of you who do not know what you have to do, its basically the KING of all postmaster quests. Needless to say i was tapping myself on the back for buying an epic mount. I grabbed a few guild mates and off we went into a heroic with my druid who was about 7 hours into 70 >.< It ended up going fairly smooth despite me being there (did a 4 man heroic steamvolts as well)
After the run I had two nethers on my hands so i decided to craft [item]Boots of Natural Grace[/item] since i knew they would last me for some time and i could use them as both dps and tank.
No less then 30 minutes after i got out of that heroic, we started putting together a Karazhan run. My defense was still not at uncritable, however we ended up clearing the entire place very quickly (overgeared healers for undergeared alt dps and tanks.) I ended up walking out of there with more purps then i can count (unfortuently most of them were boomkin or heal.) The few main pieces that i got were [item]Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch[/item], [item]Mithril Chain of Heroism[/item], and [item]Gloves of Dexterous Manipulation[/item].
Every other pack i had realized that i was doing something wrong. For one fight i didn't have Omen of Clarity up. Another time i had screwed up my dps cycle. I also kept forgeting to rebuff mark on my party. Its all things that im positive will come second nature to me once i get more play time on the druid.
Tanking Kara on my Druid wasn't a problem, it felt really nature even though the buttons were different i had gotten into the swing of it. I think the biggest thing that had hurt me on that run was lack of an organized UI. Prior to the raid i had tried copying my setting from my warrior and in the process had screwed up his UI, thus i nearly had a stroke prior to the raid.
Right before i went to sleep last night, i had decided to put in quality gems and enchant the gear that i will be keeping. Still lacking alot of enchants, my druid is sitting on 2400 ap, 9 expertise, 31.50 crit, and 5% hit self buffed. I still have alot of work to do on my tank gear so I'm not going to mention those stats... oh almost forgot, with all the badges from Kara i was able to snag [item]Idol of Terror[/item] which i belive converts to 3.65% passive dodge.
I plan on getting some pvp into the mix as well as heroics within the next week or so.
