SoO is ok for melee aside from Thok. I don't know why anyone would even bother bringing melee for Thok.
Because I'm the only paladin in the group =). We managed to get pre-nerf 10H Thok down in only with only 28 wipes (about 200 less than it took them on Malkorok). Looking at the nerf -whine threads afterwards it was clear the only heroic groups bitching were ones without paladins or a reliable 3rd healer.

I had the opportunity to run a few raids last night as DPS while working through some initial tank gear acquisitions. Going from 502 > 536 ilvl weapon upped my dps way more than I thought possible. Depending on the fight, I was pulling 100 - 120k pretty regularly. That makes me happy because I don't like being in the bottom half of DPS as LFR starts finger pointing if there is a wipe. So sensitive. Now, even if I am out of the top 8 I still contribute to the raid pretty well and that just means other people are doing more than my DPS which seems to be in a good spot.
I try never to finger point at anyone doing over 60-70k, cause if you know how to play but just have shit luck and are forced to use like a timeless isle weapon thats the dps you do. There are some real shitbags that I have seen do like 30k, those guys I never feel bad about asking for VTK on them if there is a wipe.

For bag mods, I love the one that came with luiv3, but it is not separate and I moved to tukui. I switched over to ArkInventory and it takes a little bit of configuring but I have liked it a lot. Very customisable, just intimidating at first. It definitely needs the interface shrunk by default.

The ElvUI bag mod sucks (based on tukui). I want bagnon back instead.

Welp, just in case anyone is new to being back and working through the Legendary quest. I found a problem with the Valor Point quest and Isle of Thunder. I decided to just grind out some Black Prince rep and get that part out of the way ahead of time. I noticed that when I looted Valor from rares that I was killing my weekly limit would tick up but the quest would not register them. Then, while in the middle of typing this I just realized that it says 3000 valor gained 0/1 not 0/3000 valor gained. I am dumb.

Soon as you hit 3000 valor it ticks :p

There are spots to grind rep on Isle of thunder that are nice. Respawning mogu statues with shado-pan to help you kill is the fastest solo way (I think).

Yes that area is the best but if you are even moderately geared above Timeless level, I find it much faster to just run around and kill everything rather than wait for them to spawn and let the shado-pan help you. I think it took me like 2 hours to go from neutral to halfway through Revered and then I stopped because I was still on sigils and got bored.

and Ill check out bagnon. Thanks for the recommendation!

When did they ruin the druid bear form model?! I dusted off my vanilla druid tank and I was horrified at what I saw when I shifted into bear form.

Yeah, the mobs on the Isle of Thunder are pretty lame. I am approx ilvl 520 in my DPS gear at the moment. I just switch to blood spec / blood presence. I run over to the docs and pull 10 - 15 of the works and AOE them down. It has been working pretty well so far. I got around 1500 rep in under 30 - 45 min or so, I wasn't really tracking it, more exploring.

I did find one rare that I just cannot take down. He is some super zandalari berserker troll. Every time I get him down 30% health he just crouches and gains all his health back, we were at a stalemate. That is really my only gripe with DKs so far, the lack of a simple stun. I have just about every other tool. I suppose I never tried running away and death gripping to interrupt, I will have to give that a shot and see if he is immune, that or gorefiends grasp.

Each race has different forms.
Yes, I realize that. However, the new one for taurens looks like shit:

I much preferred the old one:

The new one just looks too scrawny and weak, with a tiny peanut head. It doesn't look like a tank.
