Just going to chime in that the reason people practice on dummies is because when you get into an actual raid you don't want to be thinking about your rotation. You want to just do that rotation...

You can dodge the Moonlance, and should since it stuns you.

Stardust can't be solo-interrupted unless you have really high dps (in which case she only casts once between phase changes). So set up...

I remember countless halp: armory threads where I told people:
"No, you don't need expertise, your dps/threat sucks because you only Shield Slammed 12 times in a 3 minute fight."

Anyways, back on...

It's actually 25% from 10% which is pretty significant, and it was a general physical damager buff, since the Mage/Priest healing debuff is still 10%.

I thought Lore mentioned there were some...

8 heroics later, I'm 372. I even bought two pieces T12 to replace some awful 378 haste-plate, so I could have qualified even faster if I had bought ring/neck/wrists instead.

Now to get all that...

I doubt those are the same people. Zone designers are more like artists than encounter designers after all.

Actually, Murozond does have a tail swipe like most dragons.

I didn't see it on the dungeon journal and was walking back and forth to avoid the Distortion Bombs and all of a sudden *bam* stunned....

What level gear does Raid Finder drop anyways? You would expect it to be higher than the minimum requirement, so I'm guessing 378? My first knee-jerk reaction was that 372 seemed really high as...

I hear you, I do remember the firestorm about this fight when ToC came out. I just feel that they could have handled it differently and people would have imagined it as an enjoyable, unique raid...

Really this should have made it a great fight. There are ways they could have made it more PvE-friendly or un-PvP-like if you prefer.

1 - they could have reduced how often they heal. Interrupt...

I felt the same way about Balagarde Keep in Icecrown.

It's massive, there's a huge quest network around there exploring the past and major players of the area.

I thought it would have made a...

I would argue it's no difference on DPS. Realistically the only thing you can do with the extra GCD is to get a slam faster.

So the tradeoff becomes gaining a slam 0.5 seconds faster and losing 1...

It was fine for LK, so I would assume it's fine for Cata.

It was a dps site back then though, so I'm not sure what their quality for tank gear optimizing is.

Should be fine as a rough guide at...

This might sound stupid, but are you tabbing through the mobs in the pull?

When I AoE tank, I always tab around after SS-ing skull. I want to get a Rev or Dev off on each mob every so often.

I saw step 1 of Kazey's reply and got really confused. Then I looked at the date.

Here's the thread you're looking for krazzyace.

Taking a brief look at the latest patch notes:
http://www.wowpedia.org/Patch_4.1.0

And from the Fury section we see that Precision got a massive buff, Slam got buffed/bug fixed as well.

Then...

Good point, you can WW as Arms =x, Arms is even better at AoE than I thought!

Anecdotely, I saw my target dummy dps go up when I stopped letting MS get pushed back due to trying to 'maximize' the...

Actually, I've completely removed HS from my rotation and haven't had any rage issues. I also haven't been rage capped except during DC.

So I just save DC for execute phase, pop recklessness and...

This is true, the proof of this new model is all about 4.2. How long until 4.2 comes out? How much content is in it? And of course, the subjective how fun is it? So far it's looking to be *much*...

I'm the same type of player as you, but this is really myopic, because there were players who came before us who still play. There aren't as many left, but they are there. What happens in the next...

It's to make the rotation smoother and 'more intuitive'. That's the phraseology they've used in the past for these kind of 'quality of life' changes.

Cuz that's really all it is. Not a big deal...

Really? On release I jumped in, joined two pugs. One was with a partial guild that obviously knew ZG as they chain pulled and yelled at me a lot as I stumbled after them.

Next was ZA where no...

That's exactly why I use Deadly Calm during Execute. You'll end up capping out on rage about 5 seconds into DC, so you 'waste' some of that effect.

Execute phase is also when your rage usage is...

Except some bosses are tuned in such a way that losing someone = raid wipe. Especially when learning a new raid encounter, your chances of auto-dying is a lot higher than 1%.

To big problem for...

I think the leveling process is streamlined enough that you can happily finish up zones without getting sick of them. And streamlined enough that you end up staying nearby. No more lvl 30 and...
