Doing what I can with what I got :thumbsup:

Halls of Lightning ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Halls_of_Lightning')
Mixed attempts at this. The funny thing is, I have a 50/50 chance with mobs, but with bosses, it's a one time thing (less it's the 3rd one, then it's all luck)

Drak'Tharon Keep ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Drak%27Tharon_Keep')
3rd boss was the hardest again, only because he hits hard and has a fear, makes things a little difficult.

Nexus ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Nexus')
Sad thing is, I can hardly kill the "mini boss" just before that caster chick. With constant fear, it makes the fight so fucking hard. So I skip it.

Utgarde Keep ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Utgarde_Keep_%28instance%29')
Ohm...fun?

Violet Hold ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Violet_Hold')
I will admit, I died a couple of times. I never watched any movies on it, never looked at the mobs, or anything about it. So the learning curve was WTF, out... lol, there was this boss with the glowing bawls thing, and I was like, "Oooohhhwww, what are those going to do", and then BAM! wtfcrit to the face and I died... Soooo, stay away from the bawls. The last boss was not all that hard, but it did almost kill my whole group the second time... First time was, "Wow, this ice thing sucks, what a crappy Dot thing." Then my Brother-in-Law scoffed at me and told me I'm a retard, so I figured it out.

Now...
Azjol-Nerub ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Azjol-Nerub') <-- 1 boss down, and got the second one to 20%.
Gundrak ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Gundrak') <-- 4 bosses down, but can't do the last one yet, he... well, he pwns my ass. Working on it.
Culling of Stratholme ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Culling_of_Stratholme') <-- 2 bosses down, then it bugged out on Arthas and I said F it, it was way to hard.

Heh, thanks all :)
Now I just need to work on getting more avoidance gear with a mix of DPS and it will all go smoothly.

One thing I noticed, when I switched back to 2handers with Stone skin, I was able to tank better, but I lost dps because I used to have fallen on them.
With my full tank gear, I have about 560 Defense, but i dropped it down to 540 for more attack. I tested it out on Drak and it was simple sauce.

I'm always surprised to keep hearing people having no problem killing the tree boss in Gundrak. I just cannot figure out how a multi-boxer could move quick enough to escape the purple tar. Keep trying and keep dying. ^_^

tree boss? wtf did I miss one?

Yeah wtf is the tree boss?

Also if you mean the elemental boss then for some teams *cough*shamans*cough* its quite easy to just stay in the purple mojo and use healing streams + nature resist totems and ignore the damage.

Culling of Stratholme should be waaay easy for your group. Check Hachoo's video of it so you know what to expect and I believe you should be able to clear it in 30ish minutes. The only things that will be hard are the trash packs, the bosses are cake.

Nope Nope, it was hard for me.

I have hardly any Avoidance gear, so I take all the damage from everything that hits me, while sometimes it's low, it still hits me a lot. Only now am I starting to get that type of gear/gems.

Check the Armory in a couple of hours to see my gear, it's gotten pretty good. Half way to T7 with Badges.
Like I said before, I can kill any boss that is within my reach (outside of 10mans/ 25 mans, have not done that yet) But any Heroic 5 man I can do. Just the trash is what kills me more than anything. No CC, no Healer, just me Tanking/DPS/Healing (attempt).
Btw, new pic, VH (Heroic) down :)

Yes the glowing bawls to the face… Lol. I really didn’t
think anything was going to happen, I thought it would have just been an add
that I would kill easily with Pestilence/Howling Blast.

Sad thing is, it does take me a little longer than most
groups to get through Heroics, but it’s just random occurrences that slow me
down. One set of mobs can be tanked no problem, then the same set of mobs can
kill two toons… Same attacks, same everything, it’s all just random.

Violet Hold was like that for me. I dropped a few times
because of the “random” and two of the times, it was right at the last Portal.

I keep telling myself to finish my movies, I would do Heroic
movies, but they are so random right now (trash mobs) that it would just take
more time editing the movie to run at a decent pace.

They are getting easier as I go along (imagine that?) lol.
Now I’ve got 50 Heroism so I only need 30 more to get my T7 Chest piece. Which
I will probably get by Friday, given that I clear 3 Heroics a night after work.

I also have another idea for my videos, so I am working on
that as well. I hopefully will have something up sometime this week.

Cool, grats on VH. I use AoD on Cyanigosa as sometimes shes a pushover and sometimes she just seems to time everything right to wipe you. I also use it on the void boss (he will stop you from healing yourself with a debuff, so you gotta kill him fast.) All the other ones in there are easy =)

I could see that some of the bosses in VH could be tricky for your group.

If you have any trouble with the portals, though, there's a simple thing to do. Usually it's the last couple of portals with the 4 man elite squads that are a PITA. The sorcerers are nasty with their channeled random spell and knockback. Just rememeber that these guys will go straight for the portal if they don't aggro on you. You can let them do that and just death grip them one at a time to your group - pow - instant crowd control. This makes the 4-man groups cake. They might take a few % off your shield - who cares?

Yeah, she would catch me off guard some times, it was luck that I got her down this time because of this random thing that he bosses have been doing on me where they just stand there and not attack... It's not lag, because my toons are still plugging away at her, and she just stands there, so I got a good 10 seconds of no hits. She still turned at killed two of my toons, but there is something that is happening to the bosses with DK groups.

On the General in HOL, he stood there for 20 seconds not doing a damn thing so I just whacked away at his health and dropped him 20% and killed him.

Yeah, thats a smart way of doing those groups.The only reason I die to trash in that Dungeon is the 4 man groups because of those casters.
I was just trying to get the 100% Achichment.
Now that I got it, I can do as you said and make it easier.

Little did I know is that if you die and the portals are still open and there is health on the gate, you can run back in there and keep going, well I ran in there on 17/18 portals, killed what I needed, but there was 2 portals open, I took down one, and ran to the other, well I guess that portal was the 18th and the boss spawned, and I was still taking out the other portal and it's mobs... they went over realy nice...

Lolz, yeah, I ran back once after wiping on the 17th portal only to find Cyanigosa had spawned and was just starting to beat on the door when she noticed I was re-zoning into the instance. She wasn't happy to see me, nor I her.

Cleared Drak'Tharon @ 75 pretty easily - lost 1 guy on King Dred becuase I got feared into other raptors lol.

They hit 76 last night as well - so I'll probably be hitting Violet Hold and Gun'drak in the next few days....529 Def with thier tanking gear certainly helps. :)

Well that's great. So you're moving right a long.

With my spec at that place (I had Lichborne) so if he feared, I just popped that and I was fine for a little while, lol.
It does make things a lot easier, but it's getting nerfed in the patch (no 20% dodge) Which then just makes it a PVP (oh shite button) rather than a PVE (Oh shite button).

I think after drak, i walked right into Gun at 75.
