Despite the system being overqualified for WoW, I have had an issue with WoW random hardlocking my computer. All I can come up with is driver conflicts between Nvidia/WoW as I’ve troubleshooted each graphics card and my RAM. Not to mention it’s only in WoW and more graphics intensive games (ie. CoD 4, L4D) have never caused a problem. The latest install of video drivers have been fairly stable *knock on wood*.
Professions:
450 Enchanting: I have all bought all item Formulas from Dalaran and the most prominent of Weapon Enchant Formulas.
450 Jewelcrafting: I purchased the 2 prismatic designs I’d be using (41 stam and 27 strength) as well as a few of the metas, 24 stam design, and the two melee epic ring designs.

I have messed with 15/5/51 and a couple variations of my current 12/8/51, still haven’t decided if deep wounds feels like it is worth losing 3% crit which makes impale more useful. I also figure deep wounds would be more viable if I had a harder hitting tanking weapon at the moment.
Glyphs:
Major: Devastate, Sunder Armor, Blocking
Minor: Bloodrage, Thunderclap, Charge
Optimal Raid Spell Rotation (If you're a DPSer, cover your single-target spell rotation, and if you're a healer cover your rotation for whatever your class is the strongest at healing (raid healing, single target healing, etc):
Although I’m neither a DPS or a Healer, my standard low-to-mid-rage tanking rotation is devastate-devastate-shield slam-revenge. When rage permits heroic strikes are queued. This is situational of course and very dependent on rage intake. If I am smacked hard off the bat and have a full rage bar, you better believe a shield slam is coming instead of that second devastate. Shockwave and Concussion Blow (Yes it hits hard now) are usually used on cooldown, especially once 5 sunders are up because devastate ends up taking a back seat to these abilities.
As a Fury Warrior my rotation would consist of whirlwind-bloodthirst off the bat with each of these abilities further being used on cooldown. I believe the rotation will end up fitting two bloodthirsts, one whirlwind, then one bloodthirst and one whirlwind. Bloodsurge, or the instant slam, would ideally fit into GCD free zones between cooldowns. Again like a prot warrior, heroic strikes would be used to dump rage. Some of the GCD free zones would of course be used to sunder/debuff the boss when no prot warrior is around.
Screenshot of UIs and Addons (in combat and out):
In a party/raid Omen would be right above my Recount. The left column of MIK is incoming damage/heals, right column is outgoing damage/heals, above is buff gain/loss.
HPS/DPS Screenshot (WWS or recount):
That's just a run down from last nights Keristrasza fight in Nexus after Naxx
Previous raiding experience:
60 (on my Shaman): MC, ZG, BWL, AQ20/40, Naxx; AQ40 and Naxx were partial before our guild broke
70: SSC/TK before attunements lifted, Hyjal/BT before attunements lifted and before nerf, SWP through Brutallus pre-nerf. Post nerf I decided to take a step back from raiding because the content was a shell of what it used to be and no longer fulfilling if conquered.
80: Malygos 10, Naxx 10/25, and OS 10/25 (no drakes).
Prior raiding guilds and reasons for leaving:
Terminus: We transferred to Deathwing to raid with Terminus; most know how that ended up but for those that don’t the guild disbanded (2 weeks after coming to this realm).
Catalyst: I helped Catalyst on their Kael attempts before applying and being accepted. I stayed with Catalyst through the SWP nerf. My attendance dropped off when Hyanne moved here last May. This coupled with the direction, or lack thereof, Catalyst was taking led me to bow out and reroll Alliance with some of our friends on Kil’Jaeden.
How can Friendly benefit from inviting you?:
I would hope Friendly could benefit from the determination I have to succeed. I’ve been a competitor all of my life, especially athletics growing up and through my first couple of years in college. This attitude translates to anything I do. I love to ‘win’. I would also hope that Friendly would benefit from my hate for drama. I have no problem trying to point people’s bullshit out and squash it before it becomes a problem. Sure this might chap some asses but I try not to discriminate as I always try to own up to, learn from, and correct my mistakes.
Extra info (optional):
Rerolled Alliance just prior to WotLK. Leveled a Rogue and Mage to 73 and settled on a Warrior to 80. All were leveled through recruit-a-friend with Hyanne. My alliance warrior never really lived up to my Horde Warrior simply because of the time invested. So Hyanne and I returned to Deathwing to play our Horde characters.
