ICC update coming soon!

We've been busy at work in Icecrown since the patch hit so I will be getting some posts in soon on bosses, maybe some gear, and how my spec is working out in raid.

We made progress on Deathwhisper in 25 and I think that will be a kill next time. We have cleared the 4/4 that are up in 10 man for the second time this week. We have also been farming rep on trash to get some more of us our rings.

I will probably write a lengthy post during Tuesday maintenance so check back then!

Cheers,

If the patch goes live and comes up on Tuesday...

3.3 Raid Healing Spec and Glyphs

Ok so the spec I will be using for raid healing seems pretty straightforward. I will be using 18/0/53 as long as I have the 4pc T9 bonus. Once I lose that set bonus I will likely drop Natural Perfection and use this 18/0/53 spec, picking up Revitalize. I picked up 3/3 in Celestial Focus to get closer to our 856 soft haste cap. The glyphs I will be using will be Glyph of Wild Growth, Glyph of Swiftmend and probably still Glyph of Nourish for stronger tank spot heals when needed. The main focus of this spec is getting closer to the new soft haste cap to get our GCD back down when throwing out rejuvs on raid. It is certainly not as strong for tank healing, but provides more flexibility and brings back some raid utility once I pick up Revitalize again. Because my raid healing is much more ineffective while in my previously mentioned tank healing spec, this is the spec I will use unless I know I will be tank healing. Depending on how strong our healers are in ICC and what I end up focusing on, I might dual spec both of these talent trees so I can switch back and forth on a per-fight basis.

Word on the web is expect 3.3 to go live tomorrow. Here's hoping!
