We've been getting bear for about 6 weeks now, farming Illidan since January.
Yesterday we had our best run ever with 11 mins left on the clock. I was pretty amazed myself as we didn't plan to get a record or anything, it just turned out that way.

Group composition was:

Prot Warrior
Prot Pala
Shadow Priest
Ret Pala
Resto Shaman

Fire Mage
Destr Warlock
Shadow Priest
Elemental Shaman
Resto Shaman

The protection paladin had only ZA and badge gear and the elemental shaman only has a few T6 equivalent parts.

Basically we never stopped to drink. We didn't manage cooldowns the best we could tho, since we used Fire Elementals on Eagle and the cooldown still had 5 minutes left when we engaged Dragonhawk boss.

As I said we didn't try to stack up the raid, but since we had done another run earlier that day this is what we had available.

Thinking about it now, I'm not sure what else you could change to optimize even more and get it done even faster, apart for some gear upgrades.

As everyone says it's all about focus. Even 30 seconds delays (ressing, etc) or resting breaks will add up and eventually affect your time.

I must say I do enjoy the rush and I think I'll be pretty disappointed when we will all have mounts and people will lose the will and determination to continue doing it.
