Heroic Farming Speed question

[Asuka]

For me the amount of gold was not the question, rather the speed people were running heroics. I reckon I am just too cautious. I ran Gun last night using some of the shortcuts mentioned in this thread and it still took me 30 minutes via my timer addon. Considering each boss takes me about 1 miunte or less to down, the rest of the time was spent running or postioning guys for the pulls, 5 bosses = 5 minutes.
Still I suppose 5 badges in 30 minutes is not bad :P

It gets quicker once you're more comfortable with your gear and the instance. I used to do 40 minute UK, 40 minute GD with Eck, 50 minute HoL, always 2 minutes shy of dragonkin boss in CoS. Right now I do 20 minute GD without Eck and only skip the trash between the 2nd and 3rd boss. UK still takes me 28 minutes, HoL is down to 30 minutes, and I always have 2 minutes extra in CoS now. All 15 of my 80s have the mount in their bags, some have even picked up a spare.

I haven't raided in a few months so all my tier 9 gear is from badges acquired from running heroics. I am at a point where it's one heroic per night per group. All I'm really interested in right now is selling 15 Primodial Saronites every 12th day. Those go for 2k each compare to the 35g Abyss Crystals on my server.
