So I hit 85 on Boxing Day, and since then have run a few Dungeons through LFD while clearing some quests in the area’s I’ve yet to complete for Rep etc.  These have been mainly in a Healing role as I haven’t enough time to wait 45 mins for a group and I’ve found myself leaving about 50% after 2 or 3 pulls (or wipes as is often the case).

While I’m now sitting at 92k/72k HP/Mana it’s not enough to overcome those players who don’t understand kill orders/cc requirements etc.  As almost every blogger has stated, WotLK this is not.  Profession wise I’ve not had chance to switch Gerutwo to Alchemy yet, but I’ve got about all the Herbs I need banked. I just need to find a spare couple of hours to do it.  I’d like to have an evening of purely farming ore first to get some stacks stockpiled but the reality is that I probably can’t be arsed.  I’ve kinda forgotten about Gerutwo as I’ve been playing the DK pretty exclusively (which is a shame as I really wanted to knock out the rest of the quests in the new zones with Gerutwo to get my rep up with the various factions and bank some more gold).

I have managed to get my DK up level 64 now, and he34’s currently about 2/3 of the way through Zangarmarsh.  I got pretty bored with HFP even though it’s the first time I’ve been through outland as Alliance.  I’m still not sure what Prof’s I’m going for though once he’s through Northrend.  At the moment I’m still thinking JC\(dis)Enchanting.  I’m not going to switch earlier as the XP gains from gathering are too nice to pass up (about 1k xp per node on level appropriate herbs\ore).  I’ve not tanked anything with him yet, and that’s on my list of things to do this week.  I might try solo’ing a few low level instances first in order to get the hang of the rotations etc, then again I might just jump in and see how it goes.  I’m sure if I sign up for Ramparts or Blood Furnace as Tank it should pop pretty fast, plus I’ll have a couple of levels on the people that are in there which will give me a headstart on survivability/damage/threat (with luck).

I really want to give the Warrior some playtime in the next week, even if it’s just to burn through the rested XP that he’s accumulated and do some mining\herbalism while I’m at it.  I also want to give tanking on him a go as well, but that can wait a few levels.
