I have yet to run Kara, in fact I have only been in 1 time, just last night in fact, and we did not enter the 2nd room due to server issues last night. Is there a good guide someone could recommend or is there someone here that play's on Arygos that would be willing to lead a PUG to help me learn the ropes?

Kara has been nerfed so hard now that you only need the most basic of understanding of it to succeed.

I would start with wowwiki.com, assuming that it gives you an overview of strategies, you might be just fine with that.

Do you really have a raid full of 10 people that have never been in Kara before? Or is one / some of them just too lazy to explain what to do?

It was a PUG that only had 1 guildie in it, and he has run it several times, and we did not have much of a chance to run it due to the server issues related to the 3.0 patch, yes it was a bad time to try and run it.

The best way to run kara is simply to have everyone on Vent and make sure you have a raid leader who can take 10 seconds to explain the bosses.

It has been nerfed, but still a challenge if you have no experience.

I find most people claiming its easy to be causing wipes simply because they're pushing so hard. Not everyone is on their last run to push for Exaulted status just yet

Just take it steady, the boss strats are worth looking at, so have an idea of what order they are going to go in. If in doubt make a few notes somewhere that can refresh you midway through like "Attu, spawns at 95%, cannot be taunted"; "Moroes, 2 tanks fight for threat" etc. Ignore those people who say you don't need strats, if you're all just starting Kara, yes you'll find it easier than if you had started a couple of weeks ago, but especially for the middle/latter bosses you're going to need to know several crucial things like "Ju heals; Maiden aoe stuns; Aran - move from blue, stand in red" etc.

The trash is pretty straightforward, shackle undead, banish demons, pull conservatively if in doubt. For the room up the stairs to the right of the front door, mark all the pats you can see and pull the groups separate from the pats (assuming the rest of the group doesn't outgear the place).

Before opera - there are pulls of two big skeletal guys (sorry cant remember names), shackle one and two tanks build agro on other. Off the top of my head I can't think of any other trash which is perculiar, but if you can lay your hands on someone who's been in before and can give short tips it would make it easier.

Best of luck.
