Any raiders interested in a quick darkmoon ticket / gold run? I need your help.

I'll try to keep this as brief as possible.
Soothsayer's Runes drop from pre 4.3 Cataclysm raids and are highly valued among players who collect things like mounts and minipets. This item drops for all raid members who have the Darkmoon guidebook; so all raiders can get their own rune drop.
The rune is tradeable (and AHable). And you can hand it in once per Darkmoon Faire for extra tickets. Since these come from bosses that no one is really killing anymore; it means that supply is very low and demand is very high. Demand will only increase as more people learn that these things exist.
The following bosses drop the runes:
Shannox in Firelands
Halfus Wyrmbreaker in The Bastion of Twilight
Magmaw in Blackwing Descent
Argaloth in Baradin Hold
I'm basically asking if anyone would be so kind as to run a quick 10man (or 25 if there is interest) to kill one or more of these bosses so that we can obtain these runes. If you want darkmoon tickets, this is a great source for them. If you don't want darkmoon tickets, you can sell your drop to a player that does. Heck, I'll buy them myself since I can hand them in at a future faire. So there is little to no risk of not seeing a payout for doing this.
The trouble is that I've done next to no raiding during Cataclysm. I've never set foot in Firelands. And I have only vague memories of the Halfus and Magmaw fights. I'm probably not capable of leading any of these raids. But considering the demand is just to kill a single boss I figure we could potentially knock this out really quicky with a small group of us and maybe a couple pick up raiders.
Note: I'm locked to Baradin Hold. My group didn't kill Argaloth so that option is dead to me. However if anyone else gets a rune drop from him this week let me know; I'll buy the runes off you if you don't want any of the darkmoon faire items.
Right now I'm sitting at 2/10 raiders. So if anyone else wants to lend a hand please speak up. I'd appreciate it greatly and hopefully we can all benefit from it.

Aeolyn — Wed, 12/07/2011 - 16:01If you would that could be awesome. Friday would likely work best for me; if we do get a bit more support. This makes 3 of us total now.

saedo — Wed, 12/07/2011 - 13:44Argaloth might be more of an option than you think. Plenty of groups didn't bother and only killed the 1 new boss and didn't bother with the old. So if you can find that group of people (lockouts are boss by boss now, not the whole instance)....
I don't recall who all was
Aeolyn — Wed, 12/07/2011 - 15:58I don't recall who all was there. I remember Moonshine, Daisey, me, errr....hmm.
So really I could take any number of folks who just want the darkmoon drop and use my existing BH lock to go and kill him? That could work out for me assuming I can find alts or something that would be willing to run it.
Or are you suggesting that I
Aeolyn — Wed, 12/07/2011 - 16:22Or are you suggesting that I don't actually need anyone from the original raid and can use literally anybody just so long as they haven't killed the boss I'm after? Sorry, I had no idea the lockouts changed.
Yes this. It's now boss by
saedo — Wed, 12/07/2011 - 17:09Yes this. It's now boss by boss. So you don't have to find your original raid at all. You just have to find people that's killed the boss you killed (or don't care about that boss), and have not killed the boss you want to kill, and you can all get together.
And plenty of groups probably leave the old bosses up, so there is potentially a lot of people that qualify to share your lockout.
Thanks for the heads-up. A
Aeolyn — Thu, 12/08/2011 - 12:20Thanks for the heads-up. A few of us ran a quick, undermanned Magmaw last night (since we had just lost TB at the time) and found it to be a pretty simple and quick run to do. I might try organizing an Argaloth later on this week just to have another set of runes ready for next month's faire.
This drop really isn't hard to get; it's just a matter of finding a small handful of people interested in darkmoon tickets.
