I apologize if I came off as QQ. I wasn't complaining simply stating a fact. I don't see the nerf as all that big of a deal for either tanking or dpsing. Does it mean I like it? Nope. Does it mean I don't like it? Nope. I just don't care, and not caring one way or the other is a bigger problem for WoW than loving or disliking something. When someone complains about something it means they still care. I was simply stating what my guild was like and what I felt like since the patch.
The tanking nerfs were harsh but can be overcome. The dps changes are fine, I don't really care. DPS is adaptable anyways. The new 5 man is entertaining though a tad difficult on the first section. I was simply stating that the game has changed so drastically that it's basically eliminated anyone who put any effort into raiding in the basic attempt to make a few bucks from the lazy. I don't mind it, just stating a fact. I don't play much I get on do a few heroics and make my raid and then log. I have always played in this fashion spending a total of 15 hours a week during peak raiding times to less than 8 hours in a week during times I don't feel like raiding.
However, I still found time to learn my class and get into a serious raiding guild, where I could do progression raiding. Simply because you didn't put in the effort to do that you should be awarded with gear equal to mine? I am not sure if that was your point or not. Frankly, I don't care. It happened and that is that, but in truth my guild and several of the progression guilds have just stopped raiding regularly because there is no joy in it anymore the accomplishment and gearing is no longer necessary. Why run Naxx or OS or VoA or EoE at all? The gear from the new 5 man and the the badges will get you geared for Uld 25 and the new instance much faster and easier. The problem is this brings the bored factor around much quicker, which is where those in my guild who heroic farmed for the first few days are now. They have no idea what to do, and so the I don't care factor is upon us now.
I will look into George RR Martin. I am not much of a fantasy fiction person, though I did get sucked into The Wheel of time, and as a child loved Piers Anthony. I prefer classic fiction or Grisham. Though I have found a recent enjoyment of John Mortimer, and have a fondness for Patrick McManus. Thanks for the tip though I generally will only pick up an author that is recommended to me, alot of bad writers are out there :p.

Wow, I guess if you can't be a Gear-snob there's no point in playing. Do you play this game only to strut your Elite status?
I wouldn't run the instances/raids you don;t like, and run the ones you do. Why stop your progression because new people can join you, and the decent gear is available to all?
Blizz' wants as many people to play and enjoy WoW as they can find. Making content/gear accessible does that. What company wouldn't create products that attract the most people? It's all about feeding the masses.
BTW if you haven't noticed I am not an elite raider, kind of a scrub by comparison, so better gear within reach works for me.

@Uric - You completely misunderstood my point which I figured would happen. I am not complaining about the new loot. The previous badge system worked it rewarded heavy raiders with superior gear, and rewarded casual raiders with good gear enough where we could begin to do some end game raids without having to spend 30 plus hours a week on the game.
@zeek - I am not a heavy raider. If you don't believe me ask my guild. I belong to a guild that half of the raiders spend 12 hours a day online playing (extremely disturbing) I spend about 3-4 hours a day 2-4 days a week. That limits my play time to 6-16 hours a week this makes me a casual gamer. I am in the main progression raids when I am on simply because I am versatile in tanking or dpsing. I usually get on raid than log off before they are done raiding (5 hour raids are too long). I am a casual raider, not a heavy one, and yet I found the time and ability to do end game raids without sacrificing my humanity. It is possible not to play alot and still get good gear and progress. Am I one of the top geared people in my guild? No, but if you look at my gear, I am pretty well geared.
To everyone who keeps jumping down the throats of those who weren't thrilled with the new instance and the free end game raid gear from heroics. I am not complaining was simply stating a fact that for my guild we lost a lot of steam. I understand that all of you newer raiders feel like I am saying it's your fault you this has happened, but that has never been my intention. I simply stated that the new changes were kind of disheartening to those who had put in the work and effort for end game raiding.

um, no, no, and no.
1. Not only is that build horrible for dps, but it's also not a very good tank build though it's more suited for tanking or pvp than anything to do with pve.
2. All 3 trees can tank any thought otherwise is just ignorant.
3. All 3 trees can dps very well any thought otherwise is just stupid.
4.
Frost Presence
is the tanking
PRESENCE.
Blood and unholy are the dps presences not trees but PRESENCE. Please stop confusing presence with tree.
