Ulduar Update

So our collective little guild co-op finally downed a few bosses (besides the Flame Leviathan).

XT-002
Two shotted. Finally convinced the RL to tank the boss at the stairs. It took everything we had, but we nailed. Key highlights for me. Innervate the OOM'd mage who was CCng the repair bots, and battle rezzing the unfortuneate DK during the heart phase.

Razorscale
Two shotted. We followed a pretty standard strategy of group up all the adds and blaze them down. A few minor issues occurred on the kill. OT took threat from me on Razorscale and eventually died, but I somewhat growled him back. That fight is just some awesome to watch. I love being the center of attention. The breath weapon and speed at which the dragon moves vs. the giant dire bear is something pure rage. A truly breathtaking and visceral experience. MOAR!

Ignis
We initially tried to position him near the furnace to make the heals a bit easier. Yea didn't take to well to scorch. The second round of wipes we tried the internet strat guide method of kiting in a four point rotation. We did a little better, but again wipeage. Our third and more interesting attempt had me kite him to one of the water pools to minimize raid damage on debuff. Had a modicum of success but it has issues as well. The pull is tricky to get back in enough time to avoid the scorch. Probably can have the hunter do a misdirection pull to correct that. Also I was drowning quite a bit and that gave issues to the healers. Lastly, the silence affect really jacked up our healers.

Kologarn
We tried a few different methods. Both of us tanks fell off the edge and generally speaking we did "OK", but no kill. I think that's just a simple find the best solution scenario and nail it. The hard part for me is to figure if I can tank that in my gear to give some added oomph.

Comments:
Gear. Ulduar is really testing my gear. I'd say my gear is barely adequate to MT a lot of these fights. I've gone all out, respeccing my resto in to 2/2 IMOTW and 3/5 furor, quaffing down blackened dragonfish, with elixirs of expertise and elixirs of fortitude. Carrying 36k+ health is good, not great. I need to regem my helm with the 8agi/12stam helm.
I'm not some theorycrafter in an uber raid guild who's cleared naxx 30 times. I need more Naxx-25 runs to flesh out some key pieces. Thankfully we've got a run scheduled for this week, so hopefully a few choice pieces will come my way (here's looking at you hood of the exodus).
