Last night I spent  about 30 min in front of the keyboard.  Between being overly tired, working  late on urgent stuff, and going to the dentist to have a tooth sanded, I wasn't  up for raiding.  Instead I honed my skills on throwing and catching  sticks.  At this point I'm about as good at it as a rabbit is at such  things.  Fozec has long reached canine status on the stick stuff, which he  loves to remind me.
 The Ascent went  on to down Kalec without me, a guild first and a good sign that the new healers  are doing well.  Apparently Brutallus proved to be a two-prong issue,  though.  On one hand they kept loosing tanks to spike damage, but when they  did have their healing together, there wasn't enough dps to win before the  enrage.  The basis for both issues is probably too much melee dps.   The more melee you have, the less people there are to soak aoe damage (it's one  of those "total damage divided between the number of people hit"  things).  So you end up with a higher critical healing load, taking  away some of the cross healing you'd get on the tanks from the raid  healers.  It's funny how it snowballs like that.
 I was supposed to  get my WI article out yesterday but that didn't happen.  I have hopes it'll  be finished today.
