Vashj / Kael.
Oh we downed Vashj. But each and every time we go back there we have to hold at least 5-6 peoples hands like they have never done the fight before or they die. If after 6+ downs, over 2 months, you haven't learned the fight you fail. It is almost as if phase 2 hits and you ask them, hold down elementals, throw dps on passing striders, pass cores and they fall apart. Really its 3 things, situational awareness and a little skill, its not uber hard. Yet they can't seem to pick it up no matter how many times they do it or have it explained to them.
So now we make our way to Kael. With the nerfs and a plethora of absolutely amazing information resources on Kael we are at a distinct advantage over a lot of the people who had to attempt him. He is a technical fight though, 6 mini bosses, 5 phases, legendary weapon pick ups, positioning, and about 20 things to remember at one time or another. He is the biggest hurdle in most 25 mans progression until well into t6.
Those same 5-6 people who fall apart everytime we hit phase 2 on vashj are the most sure Kael will be easy. /shakes head. Have they watched the video, have they read the strats, nope. Hey if they can do Vashj they can get Kael, right. I am too polite to tell them that they can only down vashj because a better player is pretty playing their classes for them and telling them everything they need to do over vent.
The guild I apped to in Nov and got accepted too but ended up declining because my leaving would have set raid progression in my current guild back a month is now on Illidan and here I am not even assured of downing Vashj every week with Kaelthas probably never going to happen. Worse while I am consistently in the top 3 healers and I am the only Holy Pally that uses HL on the tanks I get ******* at. We were doing Alar and failing (which is more embarrassing than words can describe) and the tank ran los on the pillar and despite me trying to get him in sight and telling him on vent to move LOS, I still got blamed when he died.

Guess I am going to have to re-app and hopefully they take me after my previous bowing out.
