Episode 11 and Blizzcon

With the posting of Epsiode 11 coming out today I wanted to take a second and make some amendments to what was discussed in a couple sections of the podcast. Mainly because I have looked up the specific information since the podcast and also as a reminder to those of you who this applies to.

1. Blizzcon Tickets are going on sale May 21st (this Saturday) at 10am pst, and then again on May 25th (this coming up Wednesday at 7pm pst. you can buy 4 in a bunch (down from last year's 6) and they are purchased for $175 each.

2. I forgot to talk about why I (personally) suck in the segment of the show. Since I talk about it as a teaser at the beginning of the show I think it is only fair that you can hear the whole story and maybe some of you out there can gain some wisdom from my fail.

Tanking Throne of Tides as a Druid :)
So far one of the most difficult instances to tank, especially if you don't have CC. The biggest problem that I faced (and this is just talking about the first 2 pulls mind you) was that I was constantly being caught outside of bear form and with no rage. When i move through an instance I like to do it in cat form because it is faster. The way my thoughts work is out of sight out of mind, and that's when the mobs jumped down on top of me and destroyed the group. If i hadn't ignored so much tank training that I received in BC this would not be an issue but I was in Lich mode and just plowed straight into hiding mobs and broke CC on the caster mobs and wipe wipe wipe. I said "i am sorry but out of respect for your time and efforts, i am out" and I had to leave the group.

Have there been times of complete brain fail in your tanking experience. please post below! :)
