Significantly easier than Spine, but we knew that already. Definitely nice to be done and to have a lengthy farm status period after only minimal breaks before new content in T11 and T12, but at the same time a bit underwhelming to have the tier end with a relative whimper.

Sort of an odd raid tier for us overall, with lots of members having scheduling conflicts, new jobs, and so forth, often making the hardest part of the process actually fielding a solid group of 25 to begin with. Huge thanks to the folks who were there night in and night out to make the progression happen. (Speaking of which, we're still taking applicants, looking ahead to Mists now. Raiding veterans especially, who may be looking for a more relaxed pace with like-minded folks, check out our application in the LFGuild forum.)

Last pull of the night before 10%. Definitely gratifying to get this down tonight, since we knew immediately that we didn't need an extra 5% to beat this boss -- just enough attempts with the right folks in the group.
Great job by all involved, and additional thanks to the people who were involved in a large number of the learning wipes but couldn't make it tonight -- notably Durga and Tf. Looking forward to stretching our legs a bit and moving on to a change of scenery, though by all accounts Madness should be easier than this was. (Still could use a great Ret Paladin or DPS DK.)

Surprisingly straightforward, though the 5% probably helps here more than on most other fights in the zone. Onward to the fun stuff....
(PS: Still recruiting an exceptional DPS. DK or Ret paladin ideal at this point.)

Fun fight -- probably the best pure gear-check fight since Brutallus, though I hate routers and CPUs and the internet with a passion at this point.
Still have a spot for one exceptional DPS player of nearly any class: http://elitistjerks.com/f59/t23094-h...ps/#post677722

Once everyone returned from various holiday trips and odd work schedules, we resumed actual progression, and killed these two things:
(Yes, Hagara is a 25-man kill -- we just forgot about a screenshot until after half the raid had left. Not exactly grueling progress on that one.)
We're still looking for a couple of DPS to round out our roster: http://elitistjerks.com/f59/t23094-h...ps/#post677722

We're looking for a few solid DPS to flesh out our roster for the remainder of Dragon Soul progression. Please see this post for more information:

Definitely nice to have a change of scenery. Fun fight -- looking forward to the next couple as well, though any serious progression is likely to grind to a halt soon with the holidays looming:

Finally. Probably as much a relief as anything at this point, but definitely the most challenging encounter in recent memory. Final wipe count was 215, but it felt like many, many more -- I think half of those came after we saw p4 and we were getting 3-4 pulls per hour at that point.
Thanks to Khazal, Belmont, Czarplex, and several others, who put in a significant amount of wipe time but weren't able to be in the group for the kill. Also thanks to whoever compiled this, as it was a source of much inspiration: 1 ranarock ate hammer ghost ate trap 2 () daveclap pulled rag 3 trap 4 nazal - Pastebin.com

Oh right, this guy. I'm not sure how a lot of us managed to do Brutallus back in the day, and as soon as people stopped spreading Tormented to random portions of the raid, he fell over fairly cleanly.

Surprisingly more straightforward than the last few, with lots of big numbers. I'm sure our tank appreciated going from being the one making them happen on Alysrazor, to being largely at their mercy here.
One more to go until we earn the privilege of being destroyed by Ragnaros.
