Ran Throne of the Tides. I got in after a DPS dropped due to the group wiped at the first boss. It's an easy fight. Move around, avoid the green spots on the ground unless you want to die. Big room, circle in the middle. Boss in the middle. Every so often, she covers herself with a whirlpool thing that reduces damage taken, and three mobs drop in. One behind, one to either side. It's a really simple fight, but apparently they were idiots.
Fight starts, I drop a frost trap early. Mobs come in, right side mob is trapped. GIR off-tanks the left mob, the group burns down the rear mob. Lather rinse repeat two more times.
The tank dies on the elevator, so we kick him, and managed to four-person our way through one easy tank&spank boss, and some trash pulls. We get to the end of a hallway before the second to last boss, and there are two big ass tentacle looking mobs. Can't CC, can't slow them. They fling people into the air, ground pound for horrible damage.
We had a DK, but they weren't spec'd or geared for a tank, but we tried anyway. I used every trick I had up my sleeve, burned almost every cooldown. Even after losing the DK faux-tank and another DPS, we managed to just barely take down both mobs. Like, I used every DPS trinket, all my cooldowns, throwing misdirect aggro onto GIR, hurling fire and snake traps, etc. etc. Hell I even had to hit "heart of the phoenix" to battle rez GIR at full health.
It was freaking amazing. And then I was stuck waiting an hour for a group to let me finish the instance because everyone left.
Sigh.
