In case some non-raiders think about getting Ashen Verdict Rep for the ring rewards: Go for it, entrance trash isn't too hard (15 rep per normal elite).
I've 5-boxed some trash and did some more killing later on with 5+1. We triggered a Deathbound Ward mob once, kinda rough, but we got him down with pally + 2 healers + 3 dps (75 hard earned rep).
