Tuesday Darkfall took on Magtheridon again. We've been having issues with healers lately. Or rather we haven't been having enough healers and that is the issue. So I told the RL and GL that I could bring my priest instead of my mage if they needed heals.
We ended up pugging in 4 healers and we still needed my priest to come along. Cerantra was one of the healers pugged in. Hopefully we can pursuade her to join Darkfall and come raiding with us, then we would have less of a healer problem!
Anyway, Teltanara and Kuan killed Magtheridon. Telt and the other priests got put on MT healing, and the resto shamans got put on group heals. It was a pretty smooth kill. We had a couple of dps deaths, but the tank didn't die! And neither did Kuan or Telt. Though Telt ate the +30 stam food instead of +healing food, just because Primal Mooncloth is so weak on the stamina.

Luck o the Rogue
Last night Darkfall just couldn't muster the healer attendance for a 25man raid. Even if Kuan healed and Telt came instead of Viljo. So, they called it. Since Kuan had been doing dailies pretty solidly to make up for Saturday's mistakes, I swapped to Eeyan.
Turns out the guild leader and raid leader wanted to get some epics on their just-turned-70 pallies. So we got whispered, "fresh Kara?" and decided sure, why not.
We ended up with a couple pugs but mostly guild alts. It was only Eeyan's 4th Kara run ever, and one of those was just for animal bosses. What a relief to kill Attumen and no worry about mana! Then we down'd: Moroes, Maiden, Opera, Curator, Aran. Opera was R&J, which surprisingly enough was incredibly difficult. One of the pugs was an idiot, and the other not on vent, so the idiot got booted after the Opera wipe and replaced with a guild mage who'd just hit 70! ...and did better.
Anyhow the Blizzard gods smiled upon Eeyan. Moroes dropped [Edgewalker Longboots] which replaced his [Master's Treads]. Unfortunately they look like he's wearing galoshes. Maiden dropped [Bracers of Maliciousness] which replaced his [Spymistress Wristguards]. Julianne then dropped [Romulo's Poison Vial], and Eeyan won the roll, and replaced, um, [Core of Ar'kelos]. Then Curator dropped this kickass ring...! [Garona's Signet Ring]. Eeyan rolled a 100 for that. I guess after a 100 they didn't have the heart to say no, but here's my alt (everyone still calls me Kuan in vent) getting 4 epics in a row! I almost felt bad. The guild leader felt bad. After all here's his healy pally wanting gear. But then I decided when one picks up loot that's instantly equipped, that's not really so bad.
Anyhow Eeyan is actually fairly decently outfitted now, and I have to rethink what I was going to do for him. After all, it's no longer urgent to get the Ogri'la bracers, or the badged boots, although they are probably better. And the badged-gear stuff, hm, I should look at replacing the remaining blues. Speaking of blues, Eeyan had started to hit that blue-ring conflict, which level 70 blue ring should he wear, o noes! Now all those are gone, vendored, and he has a lot more bag space.
After we stopped in Kara, we also went on a regular Shattered Halls run to build rep for the pallies and maybe equip the new 70 mage. The mage got the [Runesong Daggar], and Telt got Revered with Thrallmar, so she can finally get that head enchant. So despite no 25 man, it was a fun evening with a lot of progress.

Heroics!
Kuan and Viljo were bumming around doing dailies that count last night. (Hyjal is at 82% done with the harbor.) There were a variety of people online and someone asked if anyone wanted to run heroic Magisters Terrace. We were quite excited at the thought, but there were no actual healers or tanks online. So Telt went instead of Viljo, and a dps warrior specced prot.
This was perhaps a very expensive decision. Telt did an OK job healing, but it's hard when she kept getting beat on. :( And the warrior's prot gear could have used some work, so there wasn't a lot of margin for missed heals. But the group managed to one-shot the first boss, and then 2-shot the second boss. The third boss was a lot of trouble. Her group had both the MS warrior and the fury warrior, as well as the mage and the engineer. The warriors kept coming over and abusing Telt. But we finally got a good kiting/sheeping strategy down, and amazingly when it all came together all of us lived. After that we went on to wipe out that horrible group of 7 just before Kael and then one shot Kael himself. Kuanchichi was wise and saved the shaman earth elemental until the 7-pull and that kept the chaos to a manageable level. Kael was made much easier by the use of an arcane prot potion when he tossed us up in the air.
The trinket from the 3rd boss was all for Telt: Vial of the Sunwell. I've found it really useful so far. It's easy to get a stack of 20 quite fast, and having an instant direct heal definitely saved things at least a couple of times in the next two heroics we ran.
We headed to Auchindoun next and Kuan swapped to Eeyan for Sethekk Halls. That went much smoother. Though none of the drops were any good, but the badges were nice.
After that Kuan came back and we went to Mana Tombs. Once again Telt was in MT with zero cc. It was very rough in places, but we managed to get through it and get the last boss down. Who sadly didn't drop the frost prot recipe for Kuan. Ah well, Telt didn't get the Fort to boot yet either.

BRD quests done!
Last night Eeyan and Teltanara spent some quality time in BRD. Not a lot of quality time, just enough to kill Angerforge, and then kill Emperor Dagran Thaurissan. And of course earn the eternal enmity of Princess Moira for killing her baby-daddy.
I have to say that Eeyan and Telt make a pretty awesome team. Yes it's a pretty easy instance for two level 70s to rampage through. But Eeyan is a killing machine, and Telt can easily keep him alive. She kept him alive afterwards when two of the draconids on the ata'mal terrace jumped us while we were collection arms for that daily quest. :)
Of course the best thing about all of this was getting not one but two of the BRD quest chains finally done.

Kara again :)
After Magtheridon last night we were going to run regular Magisters Terrace, just for some rep. However due to a distinct lack of tanks Kuan and Telt got pulled into the end of Kara instead.
The Kara was fun, many badges were had by all. We killed Nightbane, Aran, Illhoof, Prince, Netherspite, and did Chess event too. The impressive part is that Prince and Netherspite were done with only 9 people. So Kuan went from healing on Mag to being the main dps on Prince, as our 2nd prot warrior and fury warrior and possibly a 3rd dps as well died to a combo of shadow nova + infernal blocking us in. I'm particularly proud of Telt on Netherspite. One of our 3 healers went down early and she kept the blue beam person up as well as keeping group heals going.
The loot was quite amusing as well. Kuan got 2 pieces of healy gear. The Cord of Nature's Sustenance from Illhoof and the Heart-Flame Leggings from Chess. The healy stuff is good for Kuan since that (and badges) is the reason that Kuan wants to go to Kara. As we saw earlier sometimes Kuan gets to heal. And it's just really important to be able to heal well when the RL says "you, heal {that tank, the raid, me}."
Telt got Robe of the Elder scribes off of Nightbane, which is, of course, the one thing that Viljo still wants out of Kara. So now my holy priestess has a better dps robe than my mage. >.< Ah well, it was either shard or Telt gets it, so I figured it would be worse to see it sharded... Either way I know I'll never see it on Viljo.
Telt's 'reward' for doing a good job on Netherspite was the Pantaloons of Repentance. I'm quite pleased to get those for her. I had just been wondering where to put the +22 healing quest reward gem for killing Kael, and in those pants is the perfect place.
