aggro whore

Last night, I had signed up for KoT's 10 man with Loihi. I go to it every week if I can, and I really enjoy it. I hadn't signed up for anything else this week because the rest of the week is 25 mans, and I can't bring Loihi to them.

So I log on and join the raid group. I'm in Krasus landing, summoning my drake to fly to ICC, when I get a whisper from someone in MS (the guild to which I applied), asking me to come to LK25. I said (aloud), "ohhhhh shit!" I had no idea what to do. I couldn't say yes because I was already in a KoT group, and I love KoT (just not their new policy) so I couldn't bail on them just minutes before the raid was going to start. But I couldn't say no because that was probably my one and only chance to prove to this guild that they should bring me into their guild. I thought about it for a few minutes and then told the guy from MS that I was very sorry, but I had just joined a ten man and wouldn't be able to join them for LK. My heart sank as I sent it, knowing that I had probably just given up the opportunity to be in that guild. But everyone in our 10 man quickly raised my spirits, and I had fun like always. I posted a comment on my MS app, explaining the situation. I still have heard NOTHING from them. Someone who applied after me has already been accepted, but they haven't told me anything. It's really frustrating.

Anyway. We had a tank shortage last night, so one of our trees went bear. He never tanked ICC before and hadn't tanked much before at all. I do pretty awesome in my new demo spec, and, well...lets just say I was sitting at the top of the death meter by the end of the night. I pulled aggro so many times. I realized toward the end that my omen warnings had gotten turned off somehow. Our bear also realized this morning that he had messed up a macro, and he hadn't used mangle once the whole night. We still got 8 bosses down in three hours, despite all our mess-ups and losing a dps to lag.

We had a lot of trouble on Blood Queen, and we shouldn't have. Everyone has seen the fight on 25 man, if not 10, and people were just acting stupid. I was the second person to get bitten on our first attempt. My target and I met somewhere, and I bit her. I was dpsing; everything was going great. Then came the air phase. Just before I got out of the fear, it was time to bite again. I tried to run to my bite target, and he ran as well. But did he run towards me? Oh, no, of course not. He ran away from me. Everyone who was close enough to me had already been bitten, so I got MCed. On the second attempt, the same person who I had been supposed to bite, failed to bite someone else and got MCed at the beginning of the fight. He blamed it on lag, but I don't know if I believe that. That was our last attempt cause it was time to end it.

I did get a wand out of it. I had the 245 wand, so it wasn't a huge upgrade, gearscore-wise or stat-wise. But it did raise my gearscore ever so slightly. I think I'm done with 10man now. I'm not sure. The only things I have below 251 are a trinket and a ring.
