Update:

Nine days after getting "attuned" to Heroic Magister's Terrace, and running through the first boss every day, I'm....

0 for 9

On a related note, I've run Heroic SP 13 times now, had 2 shammy shoulders and 2 Quag's Eye's drop. That seems low to me as well.

Does God hate me?

after about 5 sp runs, 2x shoulders never even seen quag's eye, so he hates us both i guess

Yeah... it's just random. If it's a 10% drop, it doesn't mean that if you run it 10 times, you'll get one either.

It just means that the average drop is 10% based on 10000000 drops.

Keep going at it...it'll eventually drop.

I can even make it worse/better, when i tell you how long it took me to get 3 (and yes not 4, given up for the time being and made that last shammy resto :)) totem of the voids :<

Use Strength 20 times on the Truck by the SS Anne, then hold Up+B while you push it right, off into the water.

Back Back, Forward Forward, Right, Left, Right, Left, A + B == epix

DANG! Never thought of that! 8|

<Bonks head for assuming WoW was more advanced than the Nintendo games I played as a kid!>

Can you imagine? I'd pay good RL money for those codes!

for what its worth (not much!) I have had long strings of the same loot dropping off every boss in an instance 5-6 times in a row with back to back resets... then having the entire loot table for all bosses be different on the next run if I re-arrange my party leader and who enters first...

I tend to chalk that up to placebo effect + random number generator that takes a seed based on some combo of group/names/classes etc.

Without looking at the code I doubt we'll ever really know but more than likely what you are experiencing is a case of Poisson clumping. Check this book out for an interesting read on this kind of stuff. http://probability.ca/sbl/
