I know there will likely be a dedicated thread to this but just wanted to get them up before bed. Twas much fun minus the incredible lag.

Headed to UC

About to Charge!

Dead Bitch is Dead!

The calm before the Silvermoon storm

Who is this guy again? :P

I am looking forward to reading the Gorg forums....for once :-D

3.0 is soon approaching and the changes may happen but for now my 3.0 resto raid spec is looking like such (mind you this is w/o playing beta and purely from reading/wanting to try out cool new shit). There are a couple of points I may toss around...and refreshing water shield every 10 sec may drive me fucking batty but with the lack of crit I have who knows...

I am also planning on leveling enhance so I can zoom through it. I went 1-70 as hance and really like the playstyle not to mention the amount of burst as well as lack of mana issues. I am definitely looking for feedback on this one but again I am doing this to try out new ablities as well. This is a leveling spec, not a raid spec.

But as far as enhance raid specs go if I get the chance come 3.0. This is looking good to me.. Feel free to critique here. I have done less research on hance but it seems like with Maelstrom weapon, shocks and lava lash the rotation could get really bunched up if you take imp stormstrike...

Prior to Friday night I had been waiting till I got 150 mp5 unbuffed to start stacking haste. After becomming one of the luckies SOB's ever and grabbing my 3 pieces or T6, I thing its safe to say that its time to stack some haste. So here we go. I am currently at 58 haste from gemming alone. I am trying to weigh my options here and get around 180-200 haste while not sacraficing heal and mp5. I am only considering items that are, of course, upgrades and available in hyjal/bt content. I am mostly using this as a reference to myself but feel free to chime in. 

Neck:

[item]Brooch of Nature's Mercy[/item] from Eagle boss ZA - 33 haste

(i will lose 7mp5, gain 12 healing, lose some stam)

Waist:

[item]Naturalist's Preserving Cinch[/item] Supremus - 37 haste (17 gain)

(lose 10 mp5, gain 7 healing) this one is Meh imo. 

Helm:

[item]Skyshatter Helmet[/item] w/ 10 haste gem - 10 haste.

(gain 2 mp5, lose 2 healing)

Legs: 

Once I get T6 helm to maintain set bonus:

[Sun-touched Chain Leggings] w/ 10 haste gem - 10 haste

(gain 5 mp5, lose 5 healing)

Cloak:

[item]Shroud of the Highborne[/item] Illidan - 32 haste

(gain 15 healing, lose 7 mp5) 

Gloves:

Once I get helm to maintain T6 bonus

[item]Botanist's Gloves of Growth[/item] w/ 10 haste, 11 heal 2mp5 - 47 haste

(lose 4 healing 8 mp5)

So after having to post my almost stock UI I am going to finally break down and put something together that is all clean and shiny. I plan on using all ace mods because updating mods is what has kept me from doing this in the first place (I've had some nice, clean UI's in the past but updating mods has been such a pain that I think I have the UI error message burned into my screen). I got Bartender rolling atm and am begining to play with that a bit. From you experienced UI enthusiast...any advice on useful and lightweight mods that I can integrate (besides the standard grid, omen etc)?

Well. It looks like I will be staying Resto for a while (not that I planned on respeccing anytime soon). I logged in this morning and found that a bunch of my gear was missing. I have logged into two of my 4 70's and have so far counted 42 pieces of gear missing not to mention spent badges and gold.

They did leave me with most of my resto set intact and all my pvp gear on Desteran which is good. Although I am missing a Totem and cloak out of my resto set now. I ran virus scan and spybot but any and have opened an ingame ticket as well as emailed account admins at blizzard and, or course, changed my passworkd. Anybody that has any experience with this, please to let me know. How long will I have to wait for my gear to get restored? Do they need a full list of all missing items or will they be able to figure that out for themselves? Are there any other precautions I can take to insure this does not happen again?

Damn it and thanks ahead of time.
