Aloha all

First some venting: Those damn DK Tanks - i hear over and over again from my raid healers that i take more damage than they do - Did blizz really make them so damn OP or is it just me.

Second some relaxation: Any want a flower, love is in the air - and i have a bouqet of roses in spare :D

Have fun all - May the loots be plenty and the cash flow steady :D

Four normal Yor'sahj kills and three heroic Yor'sahj kills .. still haven't seen any of his tanking loot drop.

Last Yor'sahj HC kill I took about a million more damage from Void Bolt than the one before that, which kind of puzzles me. Logs aren't really helping - individual void bolts look about the same damage-wise.

@Drakebane: the fight mechanics in Dragon Soul just favor DKs (and druids to some extent) more than they do with Paladins and Warriors in a lot of fights. This is a bit of a reversal of the previous Tier, where block tanks were preferable.

Single tanked

Vengeance at max the whole time, 35K is very doable.

Finally killed yor'sahj heroic on wednesday, but I'm somewhat disappointed about it... Why? Because in my 7 kills (6 normal, 1 heroic) I have yet to see Experimental Specimen Slicer drop.. :(

I decided to try out a warrior arms spec so I can do some raid as DPS before I try to tank them.
So to learn and get my rotation and what not down, I decided to run a few PUG Hour of Twilight groups.

My god there are a lot of crappy tanks. It seems to more be the rule than the exception for tanks to show up without a single gem or enchantment in there armour... Well except for paladins. They all seem to be stacking stamina like crazy.

And people some times moan at me when I'm tanking. Sigh.

I guess its surprising we don’t see more people asking for help with hoe to gear in the tank forum. There sure is a lot of them out there that could use the help.

The good thing about the whole running as DPS thing is I leaned a few things as well, that I can use when tanking. Like not pulling the mobs all over the place, not that I normally do but keeping the more in one place should help melee DPS out.

Today, I did more hps than my healer on heroic Baleroc. That felt extremely good. That's on top of 6 gear upgrades I won this reset. A pleasant week indeed!

Try healing too. Also gives a completely different look on the dungeons. And especially as resto druid, gives you appreciation for tanks that go fast.

It sure did, thanks again :) Managed to down him with 2minutes left on the enrage, the main problem being extremely bad rng in terms of ooze spawns (on the failed attempts).
