Tank: currently leveling a feral druid. Since I'm 95% solo, it's important to me that I can solo grind without a respec. Yeah, I know paladins can do this at higher levels but I've found I don't enjoy their playstyle.
Healer: Priest. If I could instance run more regularly, I'd have switched my priest to disc/holy when she turned 60 and just instanced my way to 70. I have toyed with the idea of switching my shaman alt to restoration at 60 and trying just that, even if it's one night a week.
DPS: My main is a mage (frost), but there are times when I wonder if I'd have been better off as a hunter.
A person without poetry in their soul is lacking something basic to their humanity. But here, something less flowery, less pretty. A little more somber.
Gentleman Rankers by Kipling
To the legion of the lost ones, to the cohort of the damned,
To my brethren in their sorrow overseas,
Sings a gentleman of England cleanly bred, machinely crammed,
And a trooper of the Empress, if you please.
Yea, a trooper of the forces who has run his own six horses,
And faith he went the pace and went it blind,
And the world was more than kin while he held the ready tin,
But to-day the Sergeant's something less than kind.
We're poor little lambs who've lost our way,
Baa! Baa! Baa!
We're little black sheep who've gone astray,
Baa--aa--aa!
Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree,
Damned from here to Eternity,
God ha' mercy on such as we,
Baa! Yah! Bah!
Oh, it's sweet to sweat through stables, sweet to empty kitchen slops,
And it's sweet to hear the tales the troopers tell,
To dance with blowzy housemaids at the regimental hops
And thrash the cad who says you waltz too well.
Yes, it makes you cock-a-hoop to be "Rider" to your troop,
And branded with a blasted worsted spur,
When you envy, O how keenly, one poor Tommy living cleanly
Who blacks your boots and sometimes calls you "Sir".
If the home we never write to, and the oaths we never keep,
And all we know most distant and most dear,
Across the snoring barrack-room return to break our sleep,
Can you blame us if we soak ourselves in beer?
When the drunken comrade mutters and the great guard-lantern gutters
And the horror of our fall is written plain,
Every secret, self-revealing on the aching white-washed ceiling,
Do you wonder that we drug ourselves from pain?
We have done with Hope and Honour, we are lost to Love and Truth,
We are dropping down the ladder rung by rung,
And the measure of our torment is the measure of our youth.
God help us, for we knew the worst too young!
Our shame is clean repentance for the crime that brought the sentence,
Our pride it is to know no spur of pride,
And the Curse of Reuben holds us till an alien turf enfolds us
And we die, and none can tell Them where we died.
We're poor little lambs who've lost our way,
Baa! Baa! Baa!
We're little black sheep who've gone astray,
Baa--aa--aa!
Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree,

I believe it's the armor mitigation cap combined with an insane hp pool, and dodge mitigation up the ass. Plus, charging and two taunts.
Feral Charge is the one druid-tanking skill I often find myself wishing my paladin had. However being able to taunt from 50,000 yards away usually makes up for it. I don't look forward to tanking Murmur without a charge though.
Also yeah, bear tank is just fun for the insane numbers you get. I remember when 2.0 hit and the warriors in my guild were in tears because my AQ40 feral gear broke the armor mitigation cap and my health and dodge were still hilariously high.
Murmer is very easy to tank since you can shield one of the sonic booms. Really though it's not that hard to just walk back to him.

Shielding through the first one and then timing my own holy light cast to go off right after the sonic boom works for me.

Healthstone or health pot works too. Or if you feel the need to show your contempt you can LoH yourself.
He can. It's annoying. Any ability cooldown you have is fair game when MCed.....
Which reminds me of an amusing story:
We're running StratSM on an orb farming run and we get to the Scarlet guys before the cannon master. And my GF, a priest, is having fun MCing mobs. So she MC's one of the paladins down there and goes "Oh, hey neat, look what I can do!" and proceeds to use the mobs bubble. Which breaks the MC. Needless to say she died while the rest of us were laughing at her.
I've done that before. I've done other dumb things too. Like accidentally dotting the MCed mob because I mistook my shadow word: pain for theirs. Yeah.
Hunter MC is fun because it is always either really really useless, or the best/worst thing ever. Either volley followed by melee attacks, or the very rare Multi-shot/arcane shot/aimed shot combo on a mage
I was in a Shadow Lab PuG last week where our shaman was being stupid and tanking off-targets instead of dpsing the primary or something else dumb. We get to the MC boss and on the very first MC every single one of us focus fired and killed him in like five seconds. It felt really good.
Mob MC really is one of the great joys of WoW. There is NOTHING like turning around and destroying your friend and/or having everyone MC'ed at once and laughing at the stupid ways you own each other.
Yeah, its weird. back in ZG, some raids always tried to let the MC'd guy live, others tried to kill him. Think the ones that tried to CC the guy were the more professional and more successful ones, but that might have just been our incompetence skewing the data. But the best time was when this rogue got MC'd, and hit blade flurry, taking down one of the rival rogues and a mage who was just sitting there drinking in about 5 seconds.
An old strat I used to read about for the second boss in SL used to involve a warlock with a succubus as a pet. Everybody would stand on top of the warlock right when the MC would hit and the first thing he'd do is pop an AOE fear and then the succy would seduce him.
I've only ever seen it work once though.
EDIT: Speaking of MC, is it wrong that I'm strongly considering a /target macro for our raid's hunters for Leo attempts?
I never know whether to focus someone who's MCed or let them live (Such a hard choice)
Easy call. Always focus. Except tanks and only because you won't kill them before the MC breaks.
Occasionally it works. (Our MT opening a hoodoo pile while we went to get her a ZG helm enchant.)
I'll kill my friends whenever it's not going to jeopardize the raid. Bear run? No. Kael? No. Anywhere else? Pretty much. I do love banishing tree druids though.
I dislike killing people who are MC'd, as it usually just slows the group down having to rez and rebuff them.
However, there are some people who are worthy of immediate concern if they get MC'd.
Warglaive rogues and ret paladins are among them.
Do whatever it fucking takes to stop them, because if you don't, they are going to wander over and violate the shit out of like 4 people. (or they might just ues their thrown weapon/flash of light to embarassingly minimal effect)
Forar on
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!
I think one my favorites was when one of my dumbass warlock friends put Doom on himself because the last boss in SteamVaults had the reflective shield up. When the fight ended, he was standing there going "crap, heal me -- quick heal me!" (he was at 25% health or so from lifetap). When we realized what was about to happen, we stood there and watched as he asploded to his self-inflicted death.
Some people I know have made macros to quickly cancel Misdirection because of incidents like that.
One of our hunters tried that to one of our paladins. Don't stand next to him when he bubbles was the lesson the hunter learned. Also that DI will prevent the "HAHA we both died...".
My favorite MD was during a Kara run on my Protadin. We were pulling the Homoncs and Cabalist guys outside of Illhoof's room, the hunter runs up after MDing me, and I click it off just as he starts to shoot. Turns out 5 fireballs and 3 angry dudes in dresses can really kill a hunter fast.

I was MTing (well, I was the only tank) our Kara for the first time this week and ran into a room near there just after we killed Aran, for some reason Shield Slam wasn't working.. then I realised I was still in my DPS gear.
That was a silly wipe.
Also we had a Hunter fall off the balcony before NS and land on the double arcane guys (we skip that pull), he survived the fall, too.

The raid leader, or in my zg raids case, idiotic master looter, is also fair game.

Mr Wall is your friend. They are amazing for stopping inertia. Also handy for other uses. :winky:

There are few treasures in this world, and fewer still greater then the feeling of a woman swooning in one's arms.
Stop it.

ICY VEINS!
COLD SNAP!

We did Naxx this weekend and Kel'thuzad MC'ed a shaman who proceeded to Bloodlust. That was pretty epic.

Depends who gets MC'd. There's some people I would not hold back on killing if they got MC'd. ^_^
I wish warlock MC did something more interesting than Rain of Fire. It's always Rain of Fire. Death Coil the tank or something...
Easy call. Always focus. Except tanks and only because you won't kill them before the MC breaks.

Like having all the non-AFK folks stand behind the door to Prince, then sending a pet in.

Depends, that comes out to about $0.67 an hour (very roughly). Do you consider that a good entertainment value?
You know you will. Now do you need a scroll...cause then that first sweet hit is free...
