I'm just very very glad I was playing Tatia and not Lilac (unlike the last two times it dropped).

We tend to run Kara with 2 healers and two tanks, the rest DPS. It used to be, before the GL-torch got handed to me and I appointed a new raid leader, that we'd mark a group, pull, heal up, drink, repeat. With the new set up we have our raid leader and two tanks with Raid Assist. This way, when the raid has whittled down the number in the pull to a job one tank can handle, the other tank stops what he's doing and starts to mark the next group. Nobody is going to miss my Prot Paladin dps. I might judge seal of wisdom to help the DPS regain some mana, but otherwise I might as well not be contributing. By the time the last mob is down, I've check mana( thanks to Grid+Mana Bars ) and I'm pulling. A full "sit down & drink" is done when the healers cry uncle, which isn't very often. It helps a lot. If someone has to AFK and it's not a healer or tank, we just 9 man the trash as best we can. We're very casual so Raid Time is sacred time. We really dislike interruptions, but we realize that real life happens. In fact, I'm rarely there for the trash from Opera to Curator. I afk to take a bottle up to my 10 month old daughter and come back for the time when two tanks are needed right before the Curator. It sounds like you're having a ton of fun! Grats on your Shard of the Virtuous... I'll pretend my resto shaman Shougeki isn't greenish blue with envy!
