Since my battlegroup is currently down, a post! I said that I'd post after our first Citadel run, but I wasn't expecting the huge number of instance problems that have arisen since 3.3 went live. Entering the raid instance took us about thirty minutes, possibly longer. Then after reaching the fourth (and currently final) boss, the server crashed and we were unable to teleport back and actually down it (which is why I didn't bother posting until now). The only response to my ticket was "The issue will be solved as soon as possible.", which wasn't in time for the raids to reset (and therefore totally pointless).
Hopefully we won't have any such problems tonight, so there might be a post later on when we've cleared the first wing of ICC 10. Everything else is generally awesome, though there isn't a huge amount to keep me occupied since I don't need Emblems of Triumph or loot from the new 5-man dungeons.

We're going to kill the Lich King!
3.3 is tomorrow, and I have never been so excited about a patch. I think it's because I've done Trial of the Crusader to death on both 10 and 25 man, and even completed 10 man Trial of the Grand Crusader twice (the first time a few weeks ago, and again last night). This is the first time I'll be approaching new raid content knowing that I've done everything possible in the last one, and I'm really happy about that. My guild -still- hasn't downed Yogg-Saron, but hopefully sometime before the release of Cataclysm we'll get around to doing that.
We lost some people to boredom and/or real life recently, so we probably won't be doing much in the way of 25 man content, but we still have a really strong 10 man team, so I'm hoping I'll get to do Icecrown Citadel hard-mode progression raiding, and get one of those awesome frostwyrm mounts.
I have all but three slots with item level 245 gear; some crafted, some bought, some from 25 man ToC, some from 10 man ToGC. My two 232 pieces are shoulders and shield, and I have a 200 trinket (from 5 man ToC normal). 42k health unbuffed, which isn't a huge amount worse than the best tanks on my server.
Raiding Ancients (that's my guild, not sure if I've ever said) are ranked 18th on the server for 10 man content, having cleared ToGC 10 with more than 25 attempts remaining. We missed out on the 45 attempts remaining achievement by 50k last night, which was kind of a disappointment. Then had a load of 1-2% wipes, before finally clearing it. I also got an awesome new sword, less than a week after getting the non-heroic version (and a day after spending gold to enchant it).
Not really much else to say. Very, very excited. Expect posts tomorrow after we've done our first Citadel run.
