I just finished it, all the quests except for the collection quest and the one that sends you back in to kill Lorgus Jett. It wasn't too exciting, which was disappointing because I remember loving BFD! I was only a single-boxer last time I went, and probably not as well-geared, and probably before the big nerfing of pre-TBC instances. This time I hit it with my 24 prot pally, 22 priest and three 23 warlocks. All but one warlock dinged in the instance, and both the Witch's Finger and Gravestone Scepter are very worthwhile, so it certainly wasn't a mathematical loss. It just wasn't very fun.

The bit of broken floor you have to jump three times to get past -- annoying even in a party of single-boxers, because there's always that *one guy who keeps missing the jump, occasionally me -- was pretty obnoxious with five toons to worry about. Alt-tab, jump, jump, jump, alt-tab, jump, jump, jump. I was happy to get past it, and hoped I wouldn't wipe and have to do it again. Fortunately I didn't wipe -- but unfortunately, Lightbringer hiccupped and kicked us all off, and when I got back in, only the priest was in the instance and everyone else had to be re-invited and alt-tab, jump, jump, jump, alt-tab, etc. I pined for that spot in Wailing Caverns, in the passage leading toward Serpentis, where it looks like there's a gap but actually is totally walkable and doesn't need to be jumped.

It must have been a combination of nerfs and gear, because my reasonably-leveled toons steamrolled the instance. I started off pulling carefully and gently, letting the pally get aggro before applying dots, but this was obviously way too careful for BFD so I ended up letting the locks pull, Consecrate, and go through the usual motions. I talented the priest with Holy Nova when he dinged, which turned out to be the highlight of the instance and was actually a lot of fun to use in these sloppy pulls. It shined on the one major challenge of the run, the horde of non-elite crawlers you summon with the brazier. I forgot about it at first, just Consecrating and hoping. Then ... I remembered! I have a Holy Mage with me! Noooo problem.

So far I've done RFC, WC and SFK, all multiple times, farming gear and multi-boxing experience. There seems to be some decent gear left in BFD but I think I'll call it good here, enjoy my memories of a deadlier BFD, and start picking at RFK. Which I also remembered loving. Here's hoping.
You don't have to jump over that annoying step. BFD is one of my favs. I have a BFD vid on my site you watch to see the trick to get around it.
