I thought seriously about going undead for the will of the forsaken ability, and I love cannabalise, both for the health it brings back, but also like to think it more of a humilation if you chow down on their corpse.

instead I decided to go for female blood elves.

I kind of figured arcane torrent to be a nice racial. I realised after the event that arcane torrent is probably more useful when you are a melee class , however i still think there will be plenty of opportunity to use it.

As an aside I sorted out my 1 curse on a target issue.
In my curse macro I had put /cast [target=focus] curse of agony instead of actually targetting what my focus had as a target e.g /cast [target=focustarget] curse of agony.
