[Correction]

is assassination rogue really this boring, or am I doing something wrong?

It's pretty boring if your raid outgears the encounter and there's nothing to kick, but in this tier of raiding there is tons to kick. And if you have any interest in staying alive while learning most of the encounters you'll do the smart thing and work regular presses of Feint into your game to conserve healer mana. "Stay alive and don't piss off your healer" isn't fun that's reserved for Rogues only but you gotta get your fun where you can find it as a melee class. I don't know that a complex rotation (see: feral cat) would make rogue more fun to play.

Imp. Expose Armor is pretty crappy, and worthless if you're raiding with a warrior or feral of any kind.

Even worse, you need to drop a point out of a dps talent or quickening to even pick it up. Bad tree design is bad.

edit: I guess they moved it down since beta, you can't even take the points out of quickening for it anymore.

I wish most players would understand this.

Currently using OneBag3 and Outfitter.

Is there a bag addon that works with Outfitter or a similar equipment manager? I'd like to see at a glance which equipment in my bag is part of an equipment set.

EDIT: Been trying Baggins but it doesn't seem to work right for me unless I am experiencing a major brain fart.

Question here i'm not too sure on. Can you obtain T2 pvp weapons with a 2's team at 2200 rating or no? I ask because me and my guildie are pretty close right now and I don't want to waste a ton of time grinding out the last 300 rating slowly to not get anything from it.

Anything wrong with using: http://www.wowhead.com/item=56382 for blood tanking? It has the most mastery out of all the 346 weapons, AGI boosts dodge albeit really small (then again everything is really small upgrade)
Also have foe reaper and wild hammer as tanking options, but I like the small dodge boost instead of hit rating, which have loads as it is.

Is it still possible to do both 10 and 25 wotlk raids in the same week or do shared lockouts affect them also?

Not at all.

Thanks to Vengenance.

If you want to look like a Dark Knight, get http://www.wowhead.com/item=55066 crafted. Looks badass and is near equivalent.

One lockout per raid (regardless of 10/25).

I'm sure it's been asked a bunch before, but I'm lazy. What order would you hit up the T11 end bosses on 10-man normal? We got Al'Akir down last night, but there's some debate as to whether to go to Cho'gall or Nef next.

Go Cho'gall easy as hell once you get the bloods down and have the dps to push phase 2, and smart enough people to kill the adds in phase 2 and not leave them alive. Nefarian is a whore in 10man from all I have experienced, yet to get him down in our 10man but 4 people in my group won't show up anymore, so that won't happen soon. go go 25man.

If you got Al'akir down Cho'gall is a pushover, Nefarian is indeed a bitch in 10man.

[Dakk-Siren]

Cho'gall is a joke once your ranged gets use to the bloods. And phase 2 gets much easier once you pull him to the little cubbyhole next to his throne. It forces the eye balls to either spawn on top of eachother in a group of 4 or in 2 groups of 2. In my group our dps is a little low so we had our dps stagger thier aoe cooldowns(bladestorm and starfall) to be used one on each add spawn.

What are the best healers for Chimaeron HC on 10 man? We roll with a H pala (359s and some 372's) Disc Priest (mostly 359s) and a Resto druid (mostly 359s). I was thinking that maybe we should get our priest to go holy, since our problem seems to be the occasional DPS death during phase 1. The other problem is Tank death during fued, we're using three tanks, I don't know how this is a problem but it is. Holy would also benefit through Guardian spirit on the tank with no CD's if fued comes to close after another.

Help is appreciated.

[aurik]

Everything but resto druid.

EDIT: disregard. Seems like I didn't read EJ properly lol

Are people not spread out enough? Have your healers assigned to each group, and have them cover other groups only if theirs don't get hit. Easiest thing to do is roll hots or have people positioned accordingly so healing rain hits them. Healers should not have issues since you only need to keep them above a certain threshold.

When you go into feud, all healers need to spam heal the tank who is taunting for the next hit. That person has to be topped off.

I've probably asked this question here before, but i'm going to ask anyways like an idiot:

I've heard on EJ and whatnot that DK tanks are harder to heal than say, a prot WAR. Any truth to that, healers? I have both available to gear up, but i honestly like the DK better, it has my 106 mounts achievements on it, etc. Can anyone shed some light on what i should choose?

[Tajin]

In general the average DK is shit, hence the bad reputation, but I do pretty much the same pulls on my DK and my warrior without issues at all (with pro healers and with shit healers). You should choose what you like the most, the big problem with this game is all the faggots bandwagoning this spec or that class because it performs better, which is fine with me at the high end, but its pretty much irrelevant when you're grouped up with mortals.

I've done Magmaw, omnotron, halfus and valiona without issues in a pug as DK, warrior is pretty much orb whore so I cant talk about that on raids.

You really should not be debating which to play based on that
