Well, I got Quintalan set up talentwise, reestablished my glyphs, checked my gear, and tried out Drak'Tharon with three other guildies. In a taste of lowbie runs, there were three Pallys --one of which was the guy not from our guild as the healer-- and two as Ret. We also had a Druid as tank, and a Lock rounding out the DPS.
What did we learn? Oh, joy.
We had an incredibly slow run through Drak, all of us critiquing our stuff.
"XXX Druid ability has a CD now. Do not like."
"WTH happened to Art of War?"
"Flash of Light and Holy Light flip-flopped. Have to rework our buttons."
"I feel completely naked; I have no idea how I'm doing."
"Oh oh. This tanking ability is broken."
"I'm just seeing 300, 400, 500, then 9000 damage at a time. This just feels wrong."
Nobody died, which was a bonus, but it wasn't, well, thrilling. Holy Power is definitely the key to making some decent damage, but it's very clumsy right now. The cooldowns are s-l-o-w, and I felt like I was a fresh 80 doing miniscule damage. Art of War seems to take forever to proc now, and when it finally does it always seems to be on the last hit of a mob. Big whoop.
I know what I'm going to be doing the next couple of days: reading.
I know the feeling!
