It's a month until expansion day. People are growing bored, tired and short-tempered. I'm in a 25 man raiding guild, all heroic modes on steady farm, except the MeleeDPSAwarenessCheckKing... (our melee dps, it turns out, have no awareness - as someone who's been healing them through repeatedly standing in cleave for months, this was not news).

They're not so much mean as just... trolling... constantly... poking at each others' sensitive spots, being a nuisance, twisting words, trying to provoke people, get a reaction. And it's largely out of boredom. Granted, I am in a pretty hard core raiding guild, and so the personalities in it are not going to be the most easygoing and gentle-mannered individuals, but apparently a group of raiders with nothing to raid turns into a playground brawl overnight...

There are a few bad apples that are souring the experience for the rest of us. But what can you do when one of them is the Main Tank?

As for Sindra - that's a beast, since the healing changes were harsh. I appreciate that Cata is going to be a wholly different healing environment, and I embrace the changes. I hope they will be a step in the right direction for WoW. But healing heroic mode ICC has become an exercise in frustration, and on a fight where half the healers are basically sat out for the entire fight, it's going to be a nightmare of RNG.

I'm Disc, currently running with two disc specs - one for ICC raiding and one to try out Smite/Atonement/Angel.

So far, Smite is lovely for heroics and other overgeared content, as well as trash. When fourmanning naxx, for instance, I used Angel to recover mana as well as speed up dps a bit. However, with the incoming changes to Angel, it will lose its mana efficiency, mainly just be a temporary plus healing buff that does not affect neither atonement nor shields, so it will be way more situational. Still making up my mind about it, but obviously it's hard to get a feel for how it will work in Cata.
