Well they do have the rough strategy listed in the Dungeon/Raid journal thing in game. Granted the format is that of a bestiary and description of abilities rather than a "go here", but it is enough to get a solid grasp on what is going down if you take the time to read it.

There's always some jackass attacking Nazgrim during defensive, and there always will be (in LFR that is).
Doesn't really matter anymore. They nerfed the fuck out of this mechanic on LFR. In fact, I would argue it's better to do this so you avoid enrage timer 100% of the time.

I loved doing flex for people on my monk. Especially that nazgrim example. I get a kick out of seeing like 15 axes flying all over the place. We rarely if ever had one spawn on a guild run for example. People dying, adds back stabbing the shit out of people. It's just pure chaos and since it's flex - I know that we can carry the shit - but omg it's hilarious to watch people be so bad.

Yep, just burn him while not killing shamans if youre pulling 200k+ dps. It doesn't matter much at all.

I witnessed an amazing siegecrafter lfr victory. I think I was one of two dps alive at the end. Nobody doing belts, crawler mines fucking everywhere, two shredders up at a time, fire all up siegecrafter's ass, and it took goddamn forever. And the same goof troop went on to beat Klaxxi and Garrosh wipe-free. For fuck's sake, we had two warriors under 30k on -Garrosh-, where bladestorm in p1 should catapult them into the goddamn stratosphere.

It is an interesting dynamic that WoW has versus some other titles (notably Everquest and Everquest 2); that by the end of a given expansion everything is on 'melt' status. For other games the previous expansion content remains somewhat to quite challenging and lower guilds continue to progress through the old content boosted by the expansion power increase. I wonder if the existence of a cyclical stage of complete and utter raw devastation keeps players around? I will say that logging into dungeons currently on WoW Live is a very cathartic, if extremely brief, experience.
This is because unlike Everquest, gear in WoW actually does something. In EQ, the base stats and secondary stats have been massively overcapped for like ten expansions, and the heroic stats do almost nothing. Also, since EQ mobs essentially roll a d20 for damage there's not a lot of possible variation. Most of the power increase comes from the new AAs in an expansion, the raid gear from a new expansion provides you with only very tiny upgrades, provided you had the raid gear from the last one.

Healing LFR is basically "Gimme a free lootbag for turning up" now, though. Drop AoE heal, alt-tab back to hearthstone, repeat.

Saw someone actually get kicked for trying this. His only healing was from his totem.

He was 5th, behind the tanks. The other healers were in dps spec.

Didn't wipe.

I am not even bothering with raiding at this point. I have so much to do in the game with factions/pets/dungeons, that I can forgo the need to take a course on raid bosses, just to avoid the "GOD YOU ARE A FUCKING NEWB" that comes with players like me. Not to mention I have a few characters I can bring up to 90th. With the expansion coming in November, it all resets anyways and I can get 489 geared and do fine starting the next expansion. I am just going to try and get a few of the mounts and such.

I can second the Siegecrafter on LFR, it's automatic entertainment. Seen a Garrosh LFR almost hit the 25 minute enrage timer... Did a 10N Garrosh kill this last weekend with a 575 warrior (I myself am a 577 fury warrior), and the guy did 208k dps. I couldn't believe it. Sometimes you just realize there are some absolutely terrible players, LFR brings them in droves.

I decided to swap back to my Hpala for a bit, had no desire to go back to healing on this return. I hate what they have done with the class it feels like I am playing a dps rotation, it feels so awkward to play and my HPS was fucking awful. I am a very good healer done it in top guilds from Vanilla to Cata, but I been damned if I can figure out the way I am meant to be healing now.

When I look around the net for answers it is such a cluster fuck of Stack spirit, no stack haste, no fuck all that stack Mastery. Not sure if I will fire him up again until expansion

Pretty sure most LFR wipes I've witnessed were on Siegecrafter. Garrosh a couple of times, the Galakras event a couple of times. But yeah, Siegecrafter is the worst for LFR.

Because to the average person, they are.
