So that’s been making the rounds, so there you go. I love it, especially Illidan’s little cameo, and – oh God – is Archimonde humping the World Tree? What has been seen cannot be unseen.
After finishing up my Fool for Love requirements, I finally took the jump yesterday and made my second spec a tank spec. My primary spec for raiding, at least for the last two weeks, has been a variant of Gravity’s single-target raid blood spec – somewhat adjusted for AOE, by moving 3 out of Spell Deflection and into Morbidity, like so. I may just end up copying Gravity entirely, though; I just informed my raid that my AOE would suck, and they adjusted accordingly. Second tank was a bear, and the two of us took it up to the plague wing, so I’d call it at least a moderate success. Also through Sister Svalna and, for a change, took a poke at Valithria Dreamwalker. I can also DPS in this spec if I absolutely have to, like last night when we 7-manned (or 8-manned, my memory’s fuzzy) XT for the weekly (just under the wire).
My other spec is now a pretty stock 2H Frost with IIT build. This one is explicitly for five mans; it ends up with about 1000 less health than the blood build, and in my opinion feels moderately squishier, but in heroics that hardly matters – it’s just being able to build snap AOE threat, and that’s one thing this build excels at (barring, of course, stupid DPS – like the fury warrior I ran DTK with yesterday who insisted on, if I paused for a second to get HB or DnD, pulling himself with Heroic Throw > Charge > Whirlwind. I should’ve let him tank, by which I mean tank the floor, more often than I already did).
I guess that’s that, then. No real progress to speak of, a few new shinies on my equipment list but I still can’t get rid of those damned blue boots. It’s starting to get a little ridiculous. At this point I’d put just about anything in that spot. Wish me boot mojo!
Stop used to be a warlock, then he was a death knight; first he was Horde, then he was Alliance again, and now he's Horde again. For good this time. Lok'tar ogar! 
OMG I almost clicked on that without reading! I WILL NOT WATCH IT! I would be earwormed for about a week
Good luck with the second tank spec!
Boom de yada, boom de yada, boom de yada, boom de yada.
I’m also having bad luck vs the Boot boss. I figure my best bet is farming regular ToC(5) for the boots Eadric Drops. But I only have so much time to run that during any given day. Maybe by the time I finish getting T9 pants and gloves I can get through some of the ICC(5) content and get boots from there. (Boots do drop there, right?)
I’ll have to check out your talents later on, but I am using a modified DW Frost spec at the moment in 5 mans. Not quite geared enough for raids, unless anyone actually runs Naxx!
Thanks for the article. Catch you later!
There are, in fact, boots in ICC5. I've had absolutely no luck getting them. The ones you're looking for are the Black Spire Sabatons, which drop from the Devourer of Souls in Heroic Forge of Souls. There's also some decent tanking gear in other parts of ICC5 – such as the Eerie Runeblade Polisher from the first boss in normal Halls of Reflection.
Dual wield Frost is a pretty good spec. I've never had the weapons to support it, but it can definitely work, especially if you get two nice slow weapons (like, say, Black Icicle, Nighttime, or Hate-Forged Cleaver) with Nerubian Carapace, or a slow DPS weapon and a fast tanking weapon (like Rimefang's Claw). Just don't go fast/fast wielding tanking weapons and you should be golden.
