Getting in the groove

I got on this evening just before 8 hoping to hook up with the guys from Texas Mercenaries for some raiding. I hadn’t heard anything so went and did my outlands fishing daily, along with the Nothrend and made my cloth runs. Haven’t done that in a while. I am my wife and my son have been sick this week so I haven’t played really since I got back from up north.
While I was finishing up and starting some dailies Inien got on and I still hadn’t heard anything so we decided to go off and run the new instances. I still had quite a few things I wanted to get from them so we decided to do that and then do a random for a hopeful 4th chance at a hilt dropping. About half way through unfortunately Barb asks if I want to join them. I kind of have this rule though about bailing on people though. I think I’ve only bailed on a few REALLY terrible groups in my whole life, I usually try to stick it out. So I ended up not raiding tonight as I usually would. It was a bit of a disappointment for me but I’ll have to figure out a new raiding situation anyways since texas mercenaries will eventually find a guild member to heal for them.
I did have a good time with Inien on the runs though. Half of Reflection was a bit painful as we had an undergeared, unexperience tank, a druid apparently who normally heals. I think after 4 wipes we finally got through the waves. What was nice though is I got the Ephemeral Snowflake which I was eager to try out. They did eventually nerf it putting an internal cooldown on it but it is suppose to provide about 138MP5 which is pretty sweet. The haste proc on it is scary, my flash heals go off in .8 seconds, Penance in 1.2 seconds.
Oh the best part of the runs was during Forge of Souls, and Pit of Saron I accidentally had my Shadow Gear on. I wondered why it seemed harder than before and why I had mana problems LOL. I noticed just before we did the last boss on Pit of Saron. At least I realized before Halls of Reflection
We finished off the evening running a UP random run and the tanks kept dropping out for some reason. Eventually one stayed. That went well enough and ended off the evening. Going to have to try and find a run for the weekly raid this weekend now to get that done. Need to get back on track of picking up my frost badges.
I hope to find some ICC Rep Runs too, that ring looks pretty damn sweet at exalted
