I have other real life things that make me have less play time now so I slowly became less hardcore. I definitely am aiming at a very softcore approach to WoW. I still play quite a bit, but the thing I enjoy the most about WoW is that I can seriously walk away from the computer at just about any moment. I'm not expected to be at an event at a said time and I'm not making a commitment to a PT of any kind. Even if I'm in a group, leaving with little notice is par for the course in WoW and doesn't hurt anyone that much really.
BTW, I am apparently caught up on ToAU missions. My wife dragged me to the fight with Khimaira by dual-boxing me and her. Now I just have to check the CS. Perhaps we'll do the new ToAU missions soon for kicks. So I'm still making accomplishments rather than completely derailing this thread. ^^
As for DM. You have to have a crazy zerg thing set up to start with. If the TT is alive for more than 10 seconds, you've lost. He should get wtfpwn'd instantly even if that means blowing EES from your RNGs and maybe having a SAM 2hr him while BLMs (and RDMs mebbe) nuke spam. Have your kiters set up already and do reverse kite patterns (one counter clockwise and the other clockwise) around the circle. If need be, have someone kite up and down the hall. If possible have dedicated sleepers for each of the pets. If the MR calls mandy instead of tiger, sucks to be you. In this case especially your dedicated sleeper should try to lure the pet into the hall.
Once you have two down (TT and HM) everyone should quickly get on the stairs and plan to wipe. Just have everyone wipe ASAP. Try to take down a 3rd if you can (GK I think is the next best). If you wipe with only 2 left, you win. RR and get back to full. For safety, put 2 kiters on the EV and have everyone blow themselves all over the MR. Use 2hrs if possible. Another SAM 2hr is hot here. After this, the EV should be easy.
If your group has less than 2 pentaspheres, there's almost no point in trying. Especially if you are doing it with a PUG you should do a dry run first to get the flow and practice the wipe. I am 1/19 on DM. Finally got lucky enough to have a group with solid strategy that was willing to wipe and not whine about XP loss. My first several attempts on DM were before RR items existed >.> GL with it. It's quite a thrill to actually win and the music is awesomeness in there ^^
... the only class you would probably have a tricky time looking for is willing-to-join WHMs.
