Since my last post, Ragnaros has been downed by DNS at least twice. And my luck has indeed changed! (more on that later).
Yesterday, we attempted to put together a 25 man raid but ended up going five men short. Despite this handicap we downed Shannox and Ryolith (a testament to how hard the whole instance has been nerfed really). The other bosses were too troublesome for our plucky band so we ended the night with 2/7.
This night, I was not able to raid, As I was at my girlfriend's birthday dinner (yes, I fell in love! Never felt better!) so I was unable to join my friends, who cleared all the way up to Raggy (who looks set to go down again this week). Still, wouldn't have missed a chance to be with my love for the world.
My real life has been pretty hectic this week, even though I'm off school. Got loads of friends to meet up with, as well as studying to do. It's a miracle I have any time to raid/game at all. Overall, my life has been VERY busy.

Re-rolling
It's been far too long since the last update. Exams kind of got in the way. A lot has happened since my last post.
I'm back on good terms with my guild leader and raiding regularly. DNS has been raiding in firelands since not long after patch 4.2 was released and has now (with the help of the recent nerf) cleared six out of the seven bosses that firelands has to offer and has them effectively on farm. Only Ragnaros seems to be causing a problem, and we've cracked most of the fight (It's a looong encounter).
I signed up to raid yesterday, but because of the volume of people wanting to join, I was forced to roll off against another guildie. A rogue called Listeta. Listeta rolled a 24. "Easy enough to beat" I think, and promply roll a 17.
After a brief mocking of my abysmal dice luck, the raid departs and I'm left to do bog standard dungeons for the next couple of hours with a couple of others who had been denied a raid spot (and do some skinning in the mean time). Dungeons go fairly abysmally. The random dungeon finder throws up some terrible people (and some of the more grueling dungeons to boot) and after a 2 and a half hour slog, I've only cleared 2, having abandonned 3 seemingly lost causes (and the deadmines. Lord, I hate that place).
Then, Paindk, the officer leading the raid, declares in guild chat that he needs a DPSer. "sign me up, bro", I reply. He promptly does so. To my initial dismay, instead of firelands, I am transported to an older raid, Obsidian Sanctum. Having cleared the first six bosses with no hinderance, the raid had decided to go to OS for a mount run. The boss goes down in 46 seconds and drops the mount. Which I lose with an even more dreadfull roll of 9.
Maybe my luck will change...
