about gearing, I ran few normal instances while leveling, than socketed all my gear with green wotlk gems(all def for pally ), didnt do much for shamans....and away i went, yes it hurt, having 20k hp tank wasn't great, or 700-1k spl damage shamans....but man was that fun doing those heroics, I didn't have much boe gear since for first month of this expansion prices were astronomical.
Now its basically "Yawnn another heroic".


ps. before someone says take off some gear to make it harder.
