The raid started off well enough, with 6 bosses on heroic mode going down with only a couple of missteps. I was pleased enough with my Saurfang DPS of just shy of 14k, but unfortunately a hunter's distracting shot messed up that last little push under 10%.
I walked away with a ton of uncontested loot, but was pleased with the [Precious's Putrid Collar] to upgrade the Onyxia neck. I also picked up a 264 Axe, 264 Fist Weapon and 251 Sword to give me plenty of weapon options for leveling in Cataclysm. I even grabbed the bow from the Lich King, 'cause it looks kinda awesome.
After the initial slaughter, the raid lead had to leave... and it took a very long time to reorganise the group and get going again. Unfortunately there's still some misconceptions about the "flexible" raid lockout system, and the group (despite at least two of us protesting (and explaining that it works like this by design)) spent at least 45 minutes trying to incorporate another toon who had done heroic mode bosses with a different group, and continue on with heroic Putricide. Once they came to their senses (or just gave up trying to circumvent the raid lockout design) we decided to soldier on with some achievements.
Nausea and Portal Jockey later, we had a couple of goes at All You Can Eat, but even with three tanks (I hadn't even considered this strategy before we had twice baked a Sindragosa souffle) it wasn't going anywhere.
So to the rescue game a delightful enhancement Shaman, Jorgie (Jondy's shaman) and we beat the dragon into submission and had our way with the Lich King. Jorgie defiantly pumps her fist and celebrates the Fall of the Lich King!
