Stupid Murmur

I've determined that I cannot get Heroic Murmur down. This has been my experience (your mileage may vary).

Back before I was totally epic'd, I ran Heroic SLab with a PuG. I tanked the whole thing just fine, but we couldn't down Murmur. I was kicked out of the group, and when I inquired as to why, the leader told me something along the lines of "You don't have enough health. You know how to tank, for sure, but get some better gear". Okay. That's a compliment, I guess. But it...

I just finished a pretty quick Heroic Mech run, during which we only wiped once (due to an ill-timed sleep on yours truly). It had been a while since I'd actually tanked anything, due to the fact that I've been working evenings. Apparently the game wants me to continue to neglect sleep, because my Sun Eater dropped. I'm not terribly sure I'll use it (much), because I currently have Quickening Blade of the Prince. I don't currently have a distinct survival set and threat set, but this may be the...

When off-tanks aren't needed to tank anything, usually on single-mob boss fights, they turn into DPS. We all know this. Assuming said off-tank is a protection warrior, we can assume they have Devastate. Most of the time, they will also have One-Handed Weapon Specialization - increasing the damage done while wielding a one-handed melee weapon by 10%.

Devastate is a pretty awesome DPS ability. Not quite as awesome as Bloodthirst,
but it will do for us prot warrior who are forced...

New content for me?

There have been rumblings in my not-quite-25-member guild about starting 25 man runs with a couple PuGgers. Probably Mag's and Gruul's, as those are the most accessible to all the raiding members of the guild. Getting a chance to get some more T4 gear would be great, though I probably outgear it at this point.

Really, my excitement comes from the possibility of seeing new content, and doing new fights. I really hope we can get all 23 raiding members of the guild together to attempt...
