Yeah, probably easier that way, although they usually tend to restart servers within a day after finding bugs that help players get stuff, as opposed to bugs that hinder them.
I think like ten attempts on him for us. It likely would have been less if we'd had our shaman earlier. We spent like an hour in there before the 25-man raid and ran out of time, and we'd had to sub a priest for our usual shaman, who is a better healer and also lolbloodlust. After the 25-man we went back and killed him on the second attempt.
We wiped quite a few times on Northrend Beasts and once on Twins. Hopefully next week we'll get a better tribute, got the trophies this week.

Wait, how the fuck are you guys healing through heroic 25man Beasts? We just constantly kept getting tank death within a second or less for the entire night.
Dhalphir, I want to know what the fuck you guys are doing for DPS if you're only having healer issues. We pop heroism on the first dude and put ranged on snobolds exclusively and melee on the big 'un. During worms it tends to unravel.

We haven't had a chance to wipe to an enrage yet.
But we have ranged swapping to snobolds then swapping back.

Only 31 bits? Why would they use a signed value for money? Anticipating some future feature in which it would be possible to go into debt?
Now, it may be apocryphal (I don't recall if I heard it from a blue), but I heard an explanation that makes sense:
Negative amounts are used for questionable transactions. If you're under investigation, they multiply your current cash by -1. That prevents you spending any, but also preserves the specific amount of cash you possess so if everything's fine they can easily reinstate it.
I have no idea what happens if you loot in such a situation. I'd hope it's smart enough to do it right!
How many attempts did you need? And has anyone in the world gotten heroic Anub 25 down yet?
I note there's been a fairly lengthy gap since the first posts of "Yay, we killed Twin Valks heroic!" in general... I think the leading guilds might just have hit the wipe cap by now. How long does it take to wipe 50 times anyway?

SUPER HAPPY: Leveling is awesome with AV plus queueing from anywhere. Oh, I gotta learn JC in Exodar? No Problem! I'll queue on my way there. What's that? I dinged on the way to my bank. It's really fun.
Especially since there's barely any running-back time, even compared to Ulduar with teleporters.
There is very little setup time, but given that you're wipe limited you theoretically want to wait until all raid cooldowns are off cd and then use all of them per attempt. I'm not sure of the mindset of top end guilds, but this could mean waiting 10-20 minutes between attempts so that rebirth isn't on cd. Assuming you take 10 minutes per attempt/running back, you'd take about 8 hours to finish all 50 assuming you get all the attempts.
We'd do a "everyone blow Army/Fire Elementals/etc" run, and in-between cooldowns do a few practice runs. This was on cowardly, though, so I could see waiting in order to conserve heroic attempts.
Hate: My generic rage over no one in my little group of people I usually do 10-mans and heroics with playing a goddamn healer alt. Three, if not more, of them USED TO, but randomly decided all at once that they'd rather play their new enhancement shaman instead of the holy paladin they always used to play, or similar. So now every time we try to organize shit we're looking around for people to heal shit for alts on their mains, which isn't really fair, to me. And I hate that I end up feeling like I should be healing on one of my alts. But fuck that. I heal their asses in 25-mans all week. Is it that much to expect that at least one or two of them could heal me when I want to DPS? Fuck.
What makes the swarm scarabs on Anub enrage? Is it a time thing or just random?
We also have been getting the issue or the boss just switching pursue targets for no reason. Our shaman will be kiting him, then he just suddenly cuts away, b lines for a our priest, then starts gunning for the shaman again.
Hate: No one wants me to level my healer. I actually want to heal, and everyone wants me to tank. What is this nonsense!?
Do you know anyone who wants to tank but they are being forced to DPS?
My priest was level 68 for sometime since everyone was looking for dps or said my gear sucked to heal
When dual spec came out I made my off spec shadow to help me level among other things
Sigh if that guy nextdoor revs his engine one more time I am going to tip his car over and set it on fire

The other day I just told my guild that I won't go on my paladin for the next week or so because I'm working on my healer. Some people were excited, some weren't, too bad.
Hate: Lack on tanks on my server. It's ridiculous that you can find 3 dps and a healer in all of 30 seconds, then spend an hour looking for a tank. It's even worse when you take a look in the LFG and see 5 warriors and 4 DKs all wanting to DPS

Happy: Heroic Anub 10 isn't a pushover
Seriously. One of the better-designed (and fun!) encounters thus far.

Don't feel so bad my brother's repair robot selling operations on the Ah got out of hand with people getting banned
Happy: New Heroic ToC 25, we cleared up to Twins then it was off to Uld 25 to work on some hard modes Iron council.
Hate: hard mode Iron Council. Not that it is hard..just there is always an excuse we haven't beaten it yet
Hope: maybe tonight! and maybe a mount in my egg...
Happy end note: Long weekend for canadians!

whenever someone undercuts the current price of something by more than a pittance, I see people bitching that "so-and-so is ruining the economy."
apparently the only correct way to sell something is to charge more than everyone else.
When I see someone selling something for marginally less I buy whatever is cheapest because I'm a good capitalist!
We also have been getting the issue or the boss just switching pursue targets for no reason. Our shaman will be kiting him, then he just suddenly cuts away, b lines for a our priest, then starts gunning for the shaman again.
Also snagged the hammer of crushing whispers AND the tanking trinket.
Smell of Saronite was easy, and when I switched to tanking for Yogg it went like clockwork and we went from 4 lights down to 1 in one instance.

It is a thing withing the Beasts, but I am not sure if others use the same qualifiers for their dungeons.
