For whatever reason, I've been on a huge comedy binge lately.  I can't help but share just a few of the guys I've heard over the last little while.  I'm sure most of you have seen most of these, but maybe some haven't, so here you go.

So it could mean something significant, but it's more likely to not mean anything at all.  I had what's called a "non-stress test" today because I'm a few days past due (due date was November 2nd) and basically baby was very sleepy and not moving around enough for them to feel comfortable about its well being.

Standard protocal is to require telling the mother to go to the hospital for a more in-depth observation, usually lasting a minimum of four hours.  I've already had to do this once and honestly felt bored out of my skull because I kind of knew baby was fine (I had fallen down a few stairs and landed on my ass).  After spending almost 6 hours at the hospital a few weeks ago lying on a bed, not able to really move around, and watching crappy tv, I am NOT looking forward to this upcoming stint.

That being said, it's just as likely that we'll be home by midnight as they will say "nope, you need to get this kid out, and sorry we're not going to let you do it naturally."  Ky and I are very excitaed to meet our baby and so this could be a great thing, but the likelihood that they'll want to induce me (which is more painful, longer, and harder on the baby than natural labor) and even do a c-section is much higher, so boo to that.

Anyways, just wanted to give a more in-depth heads up and we will keep you posted!

I rerolled prot last night with like 90% Avoidance to test out the new prot spec, my gear, etc, etc.

No, I'm not at the 490 so the bosses could still crit (459).

I ran into a very serious problem though.  I wasn't really getting hit, but it appeared sanctuary wasn't giving me the mana back that it should have.  Was this because the single-target mobs were only hitting 'oh-so-often'?

After trying the first set of six with Cons only in my first rotation of threat-gen, then holding it I was still always nearly OOM at the end of the fight.

So with the next six, I attempted dropping Consecration completely and focusing on blowing my CDs on the rest of my spells as soon as they came up.  Not nearly as bad as the first six, but still having mana issues.  I was OOM by the time the boss spawned and told the party to just wait.

On the final six, I stopped using Holy Shield.  Completely.  BoS appeared to grant more, and even with the occacionaly crit from the final boss, I still never dropped below about 6k (half-life) from the Priest's healing.  Since I was being healed, I was at nearly full mana the entire time.  I used Cons at a constant and started wielding Martyr as opposed to Vengeance and/or Wisdom.

I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced similar issues with being 'to geared' since this latest patch.  Due to the massive dodge/def rating I had for a relatively low-gear requirement instance, I wasn't taking the damage I needed to get the healz I needed for mana (thus threat-gen).  Yet when I stopped using Holy Shield (our bread/butter), my threat-gen and mana availability were maxed.

Opinions?

Can someone cut and paste the text of the new patch into forums?

Would love to read it but site is restricted from work,.... (only if it does not cause any problems).

Thanks,

I wanted some help with my hunters UI it's sort of a train wreck as of now. The only other general hunter question I had is what is the "best" raid DPS pet currently? Hunter UI 3.0: Hunter UI
