What I learned in Kara today…
Yes, we have finally entered Kara. We were: Tatia (Holy Pally), Amellea (Resto Druid), Gongniu (Warrior), Pheefee(Warrior), Knunn (Rogue), Drakus (Rogue), Stiletta (Rogue), Daegothh (Mage), Sibiy (BM Hunter) and Raouen (MM Hunter).
The first hallway to Midnight is on a 30 minute respawn timer. If you can’t get to Midnight before 30 minutes after you engaged the first undead horse, you’ll have adds. If there are adds when you engage Midnight, they’ll run in to help him (add to the boss fight).
After we -finally- figured this out, we were able to do the hallway in 18 minutes. We had a couple problems with the Attumen fight (AKA 4 of our top DPSers all died). It was the longest, most drawn out fight I’ve ever been in. I took 4 mana pots during the fight and the druid innervated me once or twice. Attuman dropped stuff for the druid and the mage. We were uber-geeked just to have our first downing in Kara. Go us.
Hint #2: During a boss fight, don’t release. The door won’t let you in, you won’t get to see the fight and after the fight, if you zone in, you won’t get a chance at any of the loot.
Try not to die, but if you do die, cheer for the living and hope that a rezzer will be alive at the end.

Congratulations. The Attumen pickup can be tricky. He doesn’t spawn in quite the same place every time and frequently the first thing that pisses him off when he spawns is a healer. He also hates paladins. He will not drop your gloves for the first four months you are in there, then he’ll drop them the day after you buy your arena healing gauntlets. Then he’ll drop them every time for the next few weeks.

Grats on making it to Kara!
I’ve been attuned on my druid for sometime now, but haven’t been able to actually get to Kara. Hopefully sometime in the next few weeks I can run it.
