I felt the same way a couple nights ago. I got my slaves going again (what the heck) and hit up heroic UK.

I did it wipe free and I didn't have to drink every trash pull. It was not the nightmare I remembered when i tried it a few months back =D. Probably because my tank and healer gear have gotten upgrades with the new badge loots and h toc.

Actually, before I hit up a heroic I made myself run regular toc several times to get some epics for my dps shamen. You would think mail wearing caster class would be able to use a lot of drops but it was actually pretty frustrating - the amount of stuff that got melted shocked me but I still recommend it.

My team is prot warrior, holy priest, and 3 awfully geared elemental shammies. I did a gear check on them and their score is like just under 1400 and they're not fit to pug nax10. ouch.
