I've started leveling another warrior. Yes yes I know. I already have one. I always rush to 80, get well geared, spend tons of cash on epic flight, riding, cold weather flying, enchants and gems. Then, I get bored. I level a new character. I intend to tank my way to 80, but occasionally it's nice to just do some mindless dps. Did an instance with a pally tanking. This guy was using a 2 handed weapon and was taking massive damage. I know what you're going to say: 2 handed tanking is ...
Where the devil are they? I decided to make a new warrior and level as protection 1-80. Went with a female orc, as I rarely see any.
And simultaneously, I really hate pugs... With a passion. I recently decided to pick up my paladin again.

Leveling as a fresh, pre-buff, paladin was harsh. Took me 4x as long as any other char, I've leveled up. But playing a protection ...
The Lich King fight is a tough one, indeed. There's quite a few abilities that knock you out of it if you can't react to their timers or them being cast fast enough. Whether a cause of intentional slacking, or getting dazed by the amount of stuff happening at the same time (ever had infest to heal as a shaman when you have defile to get away from, valkyr possibly grabbing you and that tank got hit by soul reaper? Messy stuff.), or even worse, a lagspike of DOOOOOM (writer of the blog highly detests ...
