Hoping it'll let lvl 84s queue as well, may as
well try and get a nice cloak for my shaman

Apparently 84 *is* the buy-in, or so I was told today in Guild chat.

Well, I ran it 7 times last night, once on my hunter and 6 times on my resto
shaman. Thanks to our freshly gone-tank bear and a mage we got in
immediately and within less than an hour dinged the 7 dungeon guild
challenges for the first time ever. With todays reset we'll probably pull it
off again some time this week. My shaman got the epic 353 cloak, my hunter
got 9 blossoms :-) I'll keep at it for the pet!

The trash mob guarding the device to summon Ahune is level 80, I didn't pay
attention to the elementals that spawn but healing this encounter is more
difficult than any of the regular cata 85 dungeons, especially if the dps
don't give the tank time to pick up the elementals. In those 7 attempts I
lost 9 people (one person twice in the same fight) and there were only 3
attempts with no deaths. At the start of each elemental phase there is a lot
of damage being taken if the tank can't get them all. One warrior with 105k
HP got two shotted while I was still frantically casting my greater heal for
a second time... On the other hand, the people from attemt 4 stayed for 5 to
7 and when told to give the tank a little time this fight becomes extremely
easy. I hardly had to heal, ES on the tank, the occasional riptide on
whoever wasn't at full health and every once in a while a healing wave on
the tank. I never went below 80% mana and even managed to do some (puny)
damage to the boss in the dps phases. Amazing what big difference a little
care on the dps side makes!

Cheers
Urbin
