I've found myself organising more and more PuG raids these days, often venturing into Gruul's Lair and Magtheridon's Lair. I start these runs and either lead them myself or let our guild's Raid Leader lead them (since he's better at it). Last Saturday I decided to from a Gruul run and without him ended up leading the run.

We had skilled healers, led by a shaman from my guild, good dps and three tanks. Myself, a lesser geared warrior and an equally geared paladin. We had only one other...

1. I am in love with Shockwave.
2. I like how critical block makes me want to swap to defensive stance to hit shield block to increase my next shield slam. Makes me feel as though defensive stance is for more than just flag running in PVP.
3. I've only tanked Dead Strat, Gruul's Lair (with an 80 warrior I might add), and Halls of Lightning - but the game feels faster without being easier. Which is really cool. I never felt like I had to wait for mana users (only once), but I also never felt like
