Have you completely cleaned out the Dorf excavators quest hub in the SW corner of the Bone Wastes?
He'll complete it when he gets the quest from Nagrand to speak to the demon in Shattrath and then collect the money. If not, it'll be the book of the dead quest line
I've not done the elite dragon and big bone worm quests because I couldn't solo them (the bone worm purely because I don't have any ranged attacks).
I have been told there are quest lines in Nagrand that'll send me back to Terrokar for a quest or two which should tip me over the edge. Here's Hope:-ing!
There used to be a trick to soloing the boneworm, not sure if it still works but I have no reason to doubt it. You would summon the worm near one of the entrances that leads down into auchindoun and when the worm spawned you would tag it and then head down into the tunnel until you hit that first big T-intersection and step out of the worms los behind one of the walls since it will be stuck at the desert entrance trying to shoot poison at you. Then you could pop back out and take some potshots at it and get back in cover before it could finish casting, but the big thing was that the worm died by itself after a little while (nod to dune) so you only really needed to tag it and wait.
You could most likely run up and judge and then haul ass back and heal up the damage if it came to it.
It's my birthday
SO I made the cake and got the achievement for it and outland gourmet I got the tasty cupcake recipes to drop so I got the achievement for eating it as well and I am going to but the mammoth later today!
Hate : I have done Heroic VH everyday for 2 weeks and I have not seen the tanking trinket drop.
Hate : I have been doing AN alot as well, and the trinket off the 2nd guy dropped, where it was rolled on by the entire group as a PVP trinket.
Hope: They all get syphilis.
If the person tanking wants that trinket, it sure as shit should be defaulted to them. If the tank doesn't want it, then it's fair game (It is a fun trinket). That guy was a total douche for rolling against you.
Also, I hope you dropped the group right there after they pulled that shit.

Naw, I don't want to sink to their level. I let the Resto druid die twice and would have pulled a hunter loot and rolled on anything I could use
Sink to their level? Please, if some asshole (or a group of them) wants to ninja an item from me, I sure as shit am not going to help them get through the rest of the instance. As a matter of principle, even if I needed something really bad from the other bosses in the instance, I would promptly give my fuck offs and hearth out of there.
I have no qualms about calling idiots out. When you deal with them on a constant basis, your patience for dragging them through content starts getting thinner and thinner.
When I tank on my Paladin, I have, several times during heroics, posted damage meters of people doing under 1k DPS, and give them a few pulls to increase it substantially. If they don't (they never do), I either kick them, or leave the group, it's that easy. Sorry, I didn't spend months and months on this character, gearing him to the gills, so that I could drag some sorry dumbfuck through content he doesn't deserve to see in the first place, especially since doing so will 9 times out of 10 cost me a big fat fucking repair bill at the end of the run.

I healed H-AN today. The tank was pretty good mostly, but with all those dudes had trouble holding aggro on all the mobs. So as a pally, I had a little trouble keeping everybody up, especially while getting webbed and shit. So we manage to down the first boss, and the shield drops. I hit greed as the tank hits greed. Then the tank says, "If you don't need, pass. I can DE." The priest goes, "So can I." Then he passes!. So I win the greed roll. And they're all like "Lol, You needed that?" And I say "No, that's why I greeded." And they proceed to bitch me out for not passing when we had a chanter. And I'm like "I greeded, because I don't need. If you'd told me ahead of time, I could have passed. Or the chanter could have needed." It was fucking annoying. Then as we're 20% from the end of Hadronox, the tank puts it on master loot, the Essence of Gossamer drops. The tank goes "Fuck yeah!" And I assume he's going to take it, cause its a nice trinket, and he hands it to the lock without letting anyone roll. Cause I guess they were guildies or some shit. We wiped on the dudes before the last boss cause off all the AoE damage and they kicked me.

The worst part is that Essence of Gossamer is garbage for PVP. They only took it because they're idiots and they think the stamina is worth it, and it's not.

Lucas's Franklin Badge reflected the lightning back!
I think in future, Blizzard needs to seriously consider putting a tank stat of some kind on trinkets with that high stamina, just so tanks are fully justified in saying 'thats not forPvP'. I mean, it's plainly obviously a tanking item and anyone with a brain knows it, but as you know; the brainless love WoW, and all they see is high stamina and a free shield.

Hate: Reading all these posts about idiots, and ninja's and such in WoW is making me angry and not want to ever log into WoW again, because it's reminding me of all my frustrations with the game.
Happy: Logging into CoX instead, and still looking forward to JGE.
Hope: You guys can keep depressing me enough about WoW that even with the cries from old guildies to come back, I can keep resisting.

I'm flying about in Sholazar collecting ores when all of a sudden I see some huge white thing walking about on the ground. Turns out it's Loque'nahak. Now, I'm Survival so I can't tame it, but on the other hand it's 7AM. So, I decide to fly over to Valiance Keep, take the boat to Stormwind, run over to the Hunter trainer, respec into Beast Mastery, hearth back to Dalaran, fly all the way back to Sholazar, and get to the point where I saw the thing.
Happy: Neutral with Brood, which means I can use my saved token things to get to Revered. It'll take 3 C'thun runs (4 runs without C'thun) to get to Exalted.

Hate: For a variety of reasons, one of which I alluded to in my Heroic AN post, yesterday was about the most annoying day of WoW ever. I couldn't get an instance group other than that. Got paid to heal for a reg AN group, with a DK "tank" with 11k hp. He was in all greens and outlands blue. His only piece with def on it was his cloak.
Happy: On the other hand, yesterday the alliance tried to kill our leaders, so we formed a raid, scouted them out, and wiped them in Thunder Bluff. Now I'm 33/50 for City Defender. Won WG on offense in under 10 minutes, so I got Within Our Grasp, made a bunch of people drop their bombs, and snagged a few other PvP type achievements.
Almost Happy: Got into EoTS, and we were down, 500 -1200 ish. Managed to close the gap, but ended up losing by about 100 points.
Happy: I hit 76 yesterday. One more level until I can fucking fly again!
Hate: That I didn't level up before I took my WoW break
Hate: I did a group quest with some guy and now he wants be my best friend. I guess the fact I'm a moonkin with T6 and the staff from Illidan amazed him.
Also I have been pretty grumpy lately and haven't felt like playing my usual characters, but my ex had been talking about his new draenei hunter so I decided to dust off mine. It's odd just leveling on a random server where I don't know anyone (I used to, but now Forar doesn't play anymore). Almost Darnassus exalted though! Kitty time.

I mean, my first draft was apparently horrible and it was 8 pages long exactly with 180 lines.
My final needs to be no more (so exactly) 400 lines.
And I pretty much need to re-write 90% of my first draft AND write an entire new argument for the 2nd part of my brief.
Why am I even posting.

Annoying/funny: Saturday night, I forgot to finish a couple of my Wyrmrest dailies, so when I did them all Sunday, I was still 37 rep short of revered. I couldn't find a group for any 80 instances for half an hour, so I solo'd the first couple pulls of Occulus and reset it until I dinged.

sir. You have a forum addiction.
Get help.
We admitted we were powerless over forums—that our lives had become unmanageable.
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Godas we understood Him.
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to forumholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
HAPPY: My small casual guild cleared construct wing for the first time last night. Last weekend was the first time we had downed Patchwerk and we ran into a brick wall called Gluth. We expected to get to Gluth last night and just try to get the fight down but we killed him on 2nd try. We then strolled through and one shotted Thaddius even though myself(Main tank) and the OT missed the platform. We have a real chance tonight of clearing Naxx completely. This is not something I expected to do before Uldar.
Meh: Lost the roll on my tier 7 shoulders. They went to the OT who is a cool dude and needs gear so im not too butthurt. The trash tanking shoulders dropped and I grabbed those. Also got enough badges for my T7 gloves and now I have my 2 set bonus.

If you ignore any effect lag has on a fight, I'm not sure what would be the hardest fight would be.
I wouldn't say Patchwerk though...
KT with 14 melee, 9 of which have never cleared Naxx before.
Luckily like 6 of them died on the first void zone so we didn't have to bother wasting mana. We weeded out the remainder by just letting the kids in greens below the tank in damage die to frost tombs, while keeping the decent folks alive.
Thaddius is greatly simplified using DBM and a clear explanation of what charges stand where.
its difficult to point at one fight and say "This, this is the hardest fight."
It depends on the group you run with, Sapph will make you sweat if you don't have solid healers. KT probably requires the most coordination to get through. Between dealing with ice tombs, CCing anyone who is MC'd, managing the adds and keeping those tanks standing. Additionally keeping everyone spaced out, its probably the most involved fight for mechanics.
It has the most to learn out of the Naxx fights, not sure if its the hardest though..
Thaddius was insanely easy. Much easier than Gluth or Grobbulus. We oneshotted him even though both tanks missed the jump.
Hardest fight for my guild has been Anubarak... laugh it up I know we're pathetic but we would wipe 4 times before killing him every time. That was just being stupid though... hardest fight so far has been Gluth... we barely escaped with the skin of our teeth but that fight can be a bitch.
Funny thing is the two bosses we have never wiped on are both tier 7 bosses (Loatheb and Thaddius).... and Noth of course if you wipe on Noth you should uninstall.

Anub'rekan can be a really frustrating fight for entry Naxx guilds. If your tank can't outrun the locust swarm, many healers struggle to heal through that damage. Its much easier if you have a tank with Tuskarr's Vitality to boots (or unholy aura). The speed boost can mean the difference between no damage from the swarm and totally fucked by the swarm.
