It doesn't really matter what I'm tanking, if the DPS has itchy fingers and I dodge/parry 3 swings in a row, I'm running around chasing the mob down. I don't necessarily consider it their fault for pulling aggro.. its usually only trash, but it doesn't reflect well on me for letting a mob run away.
So this guild I've been running with has been working on Heigan the Unclean for the last few raids. We got him down to 39% on our best attempt. Its a real fun fight, but the whole concept of 'dancing' seems to be lost on a lot of people. Half the raid is dead after the first dance. We tell people to learn the cracks in the floor to know exactly where to be and where to run to, but people still seem to get their asses worked. I'm glad I wasn't the dead weight 'cause I was up there DPSing until the end.
Thaddius is the same kinda fight... its kinda cool to think that you can get 40 people on the same page with the same reflexes. Well, right now wer have about 7, but hopefully that increases soon.
