gearing up, what instance?

[Lyonheart]

So what instance should i spam/farm as a fresh group of 85? i have paly tank, resto sham, two eles and one mage. They are not geared enough for heroics yet. I'm asking for those of you who have done this already, looking for the fastest non heroic to can farm for gear/rep.

When I had just hit 85 I made sure to get a tabbard (s) for the first faction I wanted to raise. Picked those that had good revered rewards for class that I was closest to hitting.

I found Halls of origination the easiest.
Grim botol has lots of trash for rep, but found the named a bit tougher there.

In halls of origination I used CC when first starting, partly for practice partly cuz I would die if I didn't :).
Remember to have purge/spell steal setup for the flamelord fellow (in a couple of the trash mobs) once he engages and starts chain casting fireball (the buff drops his cast time to .5 secs I think). In the first room he is found he will cast aoe fire at first , which I always ignored as I pulled out of room. But eventually he enters the fray and does the fireball thing.

Good luck!

Just finished HoO normal tonight and have done Grim Batol normal also. I would recommend HoO since the bosses seem easier (to me at least) and there are more of them. Each boss gives 150 rep, so that's equivalent to 15 normal trash mobs. 7 bosses and not too much annoying trash makes this the easy choice for me. I found the trash in Grim Batol much harder than HoO.

HoO over and over and over, swap in GB to break the monotony but you might find the last boss a pain.

7 bosses = more rep and more drops.
