I'll run my 5 through lfr when needed; for every run where someone says somethig there are two or three that are silent. If you're worried about the hate, just kick the offending player. LFR is fairly simple with only a few bosses in the first part of Heart of Fear being boxer unfriendly. As long as you are actually playing the bosses should go down without a problem, also queue with a healer and enjoy the near instant queue.

My guys are all 484-486 ilvl and just blindly mashing buttons nets me around 67k. Sadly this still puts me in the top five dps slots on any day accept Tuesday (when actual raiders are running alts and friends through.)

I'm going to disagree with you on Shado-pan, it's not that it's hard, but there's so few mobs to kill and they just bow to me after being defeated, very unsatifying when I'm trying to farm cloth.
