I was annoyed on a PUG the other day when one of the DPSers had a macro that whispered me telling me what rank spell I should be using instead of what I was using. I told the DPS to cut it out but he said he couldn't...it was automatic. Right... Anyway, I tanked it just fine (Pally tank FTW) and ignored the punk. If they think they can play a tank better, how come they aren't playing a tank? I will never apologize for my tanking because I do a pretty good job most of the time (even when those 6k GS punks are popping trinkets on every pull and I still manage to hold aggro somehow). I just try to have fun and enjoy kicking butt against the cheesy heroic bosses. Can't wait to see how Cataclysm will be different!

I got that today...it seems that every time I went to train my hunter I was in Beast Master spec and not Marksman...so today I went into the dungeon using Aimed Shot 2, when it should have been Aimed Shot 9. Although it is spammy, I have learned to appreciate that add-on since your talents don't always scale up automatically on your dual spec.

You know, once on my 80 mage in a heroic dungeon, my gear score was called "low" by the rest of the PUG. They questioned throwing me out. But my "lower gear score" gear was tuned to how I played as an arcane mage at the time. That night I was second highest DPS, the top being an uber-geared rogue. By the end of the dungeon I was getting kudos for being able to "compensate for *****py gear" (*they used a different word). 
Yeah, better gear will help me. No doubt. But as we talked about the other day online, gear score cannot compensate for an empty head. The human playing the toon has to know how to play their class and incorporate their race benefits into that. And I would add that a little maturity goes a long way too.
I can remember bringing my Vanilla WoW hunter into MC years ago. My spec was totally based off of agil, and I took him just for a joke. I was in mostly blues(whatever I could get that had max agility. What is sad is that my DPS was highest on the chart. More proof that Gearscore does not = Skill.
As for the hacking. I have never once bought gold, but I was hacked once. (The token authenticator did not exist) I had logged in to the website at a friends house who had a key logger. Stopping the gold sellers would not stop the hacking problem. Lessen it, perhaps, but not stop it.

I am sure there will be hackers who do it just to see if they can but the gold sellers do it to get the gold to sell to others. We recently had a guild officer hacked. oddly they took materials from the bank but not the gold.

I tried ranking down the other day and for some reason each rank of my spells had the same amount of mana required. I thought the reason to rank down was to save mana or rage or whatever. If you spend the same for each rank of the spell, why on earth would you not use the highest rank all the time?

They changed the ability to use a lower rank with the last expansion. The trick now is to make sure you have the highest rank on the tool bar if you train dual spec. It doesn't automatically update on the hidden action bar.
I do get annoyed by people gripping (always puggers) that new 80's can't just "tank and spank" each boss in a dungeon. They forget when all the instances required teamwork and some strategy...not just over powered high gear score power runs. I appreciate when my new 80's get carried. I do my best to dps (healer is pretty well geared for random dungeons and ten man weekly) but no one rolled their toon with a gear score of 5k. And then these end gamers complain that they are bored. (sigh) Thank God that I have a good guild with people with a sense of humor. That is what make the game fun!

I ran Pit of Sauron with my pvp only DK. The ubber Axe dropped and I have to say that someone was nice enought to give me some good advice on how to get my dps higher. How refreshing to see more good players an good sports.

I have got to get some more screen shots to use as an avvy. too often by the time I shrink it, it looses alot of context. This Ally pair is so Burning Crusade.

hmm, if you facebook, I'd love to have some of those in our guild photo album. I have an odd one that shows my hunter flying through the air like she is swimming through the sea because her riding mount never loaded in. Oddly enough, when I dream about flying, I swim through the air, too.

RUBY SANCTUM OPENS TODAY! I'm excited! I always like the instances that involve dragons of some sort. I guess its supposed to be roughly equivalent to ICC in difficulty.
Priest question here: I recently switched my healy spec on my Belf priest from discipline to holy in order to be more "raid friendly", but I've failed miserably in my first couple of PUGs (TOC/VOA). Wondering what I'm doing wrong. I thought circle of healing would make things so much easier for raid healing, but the cooldown on it is way too high for my taste. My haste is only at around 500, so I probably need to up that. So far my rotation has been: prayer of mending, improved renew, flash heal/flash heal/flash heal, POM whenever its not on CD. It seems I'm not supposed to use PW:Shield as a holy priest except in rare circumstances, but I could be wrong about that. Any of you play a holy priest and have suggestions?
My priest: Deitiphobia, Feathermoon realm

Are there any glyphs you can get to reduce cool down? My healers are Disc/Holy, which sucks mana, but feels stronger healing to me. I tried straight holy, but it was harder for me to keep up with healing. My style of healing is more preventative (sheild the clothies, mend the tanks, super heal the main tank)... but I haven't done much raids....
