Garrosh mythic was for sale at 5k on my EU server. Was the guaranteed heirloom drop per character or per account? May even go buy one if it's per character.

They never said we won't be back up to pre-squish numbers or that we wouldn't scale up as quickly as before, they just wanted to cut out the 16 tiers of padding that no one will care about while leveling.
You can probably expect another squish every one or two expansions from now on.

per character

garrosh mythic is really, really easy now as well. We cleared the entire raid yesterday in 1 hour 36 minutes. Thank god for that, as I'm so freaking tired of the place. More annoying is my guild hellbent on doing mandatory alt runs now so I still have to spend as much time ._.

Gimme expansion already

Very tempted to transfer a character to some heavy Horde server just to buy a Garrosh kill that I am not going to get on my horribly geared Plate alt otherwise.

Only took them 10 years but they did it!
Almost every single guild I've been in has had at least 1-5 aussies I'm surprised it took them this long, seems like a rather big community.

ALL of the Oceanic servers are High pop during our primetime, and several remain at Medium during our off-peak. The servers will STILL be connected just like the D3 servers are connected, so you will still get to play with Australians in LFR, cross-realm stuff, but it might be (for you), with a shitty ping. Any Australian that doesn't move to the Oceanic servers is either a shiftworker, or just fucking retarded. Actually, even the shiftworkers should still move across, as they'd still be able to cross-server for the majority.

I bought a horde garrosh kill for 5k on zuljin for my DK and scored the boa 2 hander axe.

If you have a 2H heirloom, I'd go with unholy over frost 2H. I don't think either 2H spec has overtaken DW Frost yet though.

Been a hundred years since I tried the frost dk out too, do they still run without having to worry about putting up diseases? Or do you just spec the outbreak no cd thing and use that for them

You still want diseases as frost.

As DW frost you use one of your orphan Unholy Runes to plague strike every 60s (alternating with Outbreak), and spec Plague Leech to strip your diseases for 2 Death Runes when the diseases are about to run out.

The one plague-strike per minute doesn't even really futz with your obliterating for 2H Frost either, since it will come on the heels of Plague Leeching some runes back.

I really wish they'd make a DK version of the new Consecrate Glyph that has the Consecrate follow the paladin around like some kind of Holy Hoolahoop. Having a targeting-reticle ability used rotationally on cooldown even on single target is supremely annoying.

Yeah, disease-less DK hasn't been a thing for like 4 or 5 years now.

No-CD Outbreak sucks, it's not worth putting a RP cost on it. You put up the diseases with regular Outbreak, Howling Blast keeps Frost Fever up indefinitely, and occasionally you need to Plague Strike to refresh Blood Plague. When Outbreak is back up you take the diseases off with Plague Leech to get a couple death runes, then put them right back on with Outbreak. There's also a new thing that makes refreshing diseases last longer than applying new ones, so you don't have to Plague Strike as much anymore. Not much else to it, just using Killing Machine procs on Frost Strike(1H)/Obliterate(2H) as much as possible.

That said, I used to hate Unholy for requiring more micromanagement to do significantly less DPS than Frost, but I don't mind it at all in 6.0.2. I switched to it so that I could use the same 2H weapon for both DPS and Blood, and because I'll definitely be leveling to 100 as Unholy with the heirloom. It doesn't feel nearly as "busy" as it used to.

Edit:

Definitely agree with this, especially since DK major glyphs are so blah across the board.

Just did a PUG Garrosh and got my 2H INT staff. That takes care of most of my classes.

Poor rogue and feral druid. I could level him as moonkin though.
