LoL I wish. The bosses seem to be np, the hard part IS the trash.

I wipe more often on a pull w/ 5 usually a caster that summons or one of those ghouls get loose and 3 shots my healer before i can get him back to the tank (always the same pack group that does me in). Very frustrating. If I can be the encounter, those swarming undead make staying out of combat long enough to rez back in a chore.

Bosses I can get to so far are cake though.
My basic wow strat is to make everything as easy as possible. I was lucky enough to run heroics on my pally in pugs and gear my tank with every piece of top gear you could get before in only 5 man dungeons before icc even released. We all box and unless you are doing something horribly wrong you hsould have gobs of gold. I have enough money to gear out my startitng 80 team in all the best crafted epic pieces and thats basically where I start. I would not even waste my time trying to do heroics in blue gear as you will just get bored wiping all the time from one missed key or taunt. My dps is always caster type I don't mess with melee for pve because it's not easy casters are. The easiest heroics to do are nexus,gundrak,drak thron keep, utgarde keep,CoS,azjol nerub, and violet hold. Your best bet is to farm badges and buy the gear. Since release of ICC and the abilioty to do the same heroic multiple times a day via the random dungeon makes things a breeze. Once you get 80 percent of your gear above lvl 213 things get insanely easy. I still laugh at the fact that my tank has over 35k hp and still wears the flipping tattered castle drape which will be upgraded to the frost badge tanking cape in another week of just doing the daily random. My point is don't set yourself up to fail or you will just get frustrated and want to quit. I refer to the dungeons I listed as easiest to farm for one they dont require much movement of the slaves for the most part its either park them or just have them on follow. I used to hate doing CoS and VH because I like to drink beer and leave the keyboard if I have to piss or something and you can't really do that when you do those two. I just did a h CoS yesterday and I was amazed at how easy it was to just get bronze drakes now. I made it to the time keeper with 5 mins to spare,never drank once, and finined the instance at dam near full health and mana after malganis. Either my gear is just that overpowered for these old 5 mans now or they seriously nerfed that instance. I could do the heroic mode before the icc 5 mans there but not get to the drake guy. If you are just starting heorics I would suggest really gearing up your tank like I did through pugs or buying the best crafted stuff you can get. As long as your tank can hold agg the rest is a breeze.
