The enjoyable grind...

Hunting the Horde with Fear has got serious now. Its been a bit of a struggle to get the kills together for a month or so, as every other 80 in PvP is tooled up, but where there's a will there's a way, So the Druids are dropping for me now, and I have the resillience to cope with the Kidney Shots (If not the decent escape trinket yet).
The joy of it so far is learning when to move in a hunter manner, dancing and laying traps, getting things to Proc and when to stand still and really wail, with a PvE style rotation as close to microsecond perfect as I can manage. Whilst theres been enough to get stuck into, there's been very few epic battles over christmas, apart from some excellent AB where everyone is shouting for help, and every flag has changed hands about twenty times:) Eye of the Storm has also proven to be slightly interesting, because I can line-of-sight people by standing down the slopes away from the flag buildings, and just fire THROUGH the scenery at them.
Having gone Survival for the chance of a bit of Burst in my 187 blues, My burst is now approaching mental in the good gear, and hopefully will take off when I finally get a useful weapon, hopefully from the ICC 5man dungeons, which I have pugged a little already... Whether I stay SV is another matter, as a Big Chimera is looking tasty for holding down the plate classes, but either way I still have a lot of practising to do before we enter the arena. The goal now is a season 8 weapon in at least one slot, and I still have a way to go with the gladiators raiment:-)
I don't particularly mind how much resillience is required to survive pvp burst damge, as it stands presently. It means you practise a lot, and you have to commit to grinding the gear if PvP is your thing. I liked getting the odd solo kill having just turned 80, purely by moving faster, and making a few deent judgement calls, but I want to be able to run with the best of them and you're no use to a healer, if he's unloading his entire mana bar just to keep you at 50%.
