Recount will keep seperate logs for boss fights. Look at your typical DPS from tank-and-spank fights like you see in places such as UK. Trash DPS can be deceptive because AoE can inflate numbers. Some boss fights with gimmicks can lower DPS a good margin.
1400 on a heroic boss is solid DPS in the sense that three DPS players putting out those kinds of numbers will allow the group to clear everything with little problem. Less than that and you start to depend on the other members carrying you.
You may still get turned away from groups that are running heroics to farm badges and rep. These groups are trying to get through as quickly as possible, and to them 1400dps may mean going back to one hour clears as opposed to 30min clears.

Well, some dailies are a joke to do in a group, which is one way I make money a little fast (certainly not as fast as some). For example, 5/6 of the Knights of the Ebon Blade dailies are counted toward the entire group. The only one that isn't is the intelligence one, which is horrible and I wouldn't recommend wasting your time unless you want reputation. Actually, I do recommend doing it, but if it's taking too long, simply wait until the next day to see if you can possibly finish it over the span of two days.
I still don't understand how someone can have so little gold that they can't afford repairs.
But hey, I also have no idea how people don't have the money for Cold Weather Flying at 77 and how some people couldn't afford their flying mount at 70. But I found that most people wasted their money on stupid shit.

This. There are lots of people, if nothing else, who shop the AH for equipment. To wear/wield.
They'll pay 325 gold for the gem that's 2 spellpower higher than the 30 gold gem, because that's what elitistjerks suggests. By all means - buy the top end gem if you can afford it but don't buy it if it means you're reduced to using the guild bank for repairs.

DPS is very difficult to measure and highly dependent on those gimmicks, in my experience. This is from a warlock's perspective.
I've done 2800 dps on Archavon (I got lucky and only had to dodge bullshit once the whole fight), but some trash pulls I'm lucky to see 1100.
I'd really like to improve my burst/trash damage but running PUGs means you can't always trust the tank to have & hold aggro the way warlocks need them to. My reluctance to go wide open at the beginning of a CoS timed run led to us missing the timer by ~20-25 seconds. We had the infinite corruptor to ~30% when the timer ran out, he ran off and poofed.

The disease that prevents health regeneration should be the only issue you have.

WTH was that patch this morning. Only had time to glance at the patch notes before leaving for work, and they looked like the 3.0.8 patch notes all over again.

And anybody who doesn't do a few dailies every day are IDIOTS. 30 minutes and you can make 100g EASY. Morons.

We first attempted Sarth last night with some drakes up. We decided to not bother trying with just one and went straight to two. Took us a few attempts but we were successful. The funny thing is that the fight really isn't hard as long as you got a geared up raid. The problem is that so many people are really spoiled at this point. There are no other encounters in the game right now where you really need to concentrate on a large number of things at once and if you forget one of them then you will probably die. Therefore, a lot of people are used to getting tunnel vision easier without negative consequence or they end up being really good at concentrating on one or two aspects while forgetting the others. I think it is a good thing though. I didn't have any problems with it personally, but there are a number of raiders in my guild that needed a challenging wake up call.![]()

Any other JCers out there getting a little annoyed? In the first month.. it was like a nonstop Gold Mine with rare cuts and even perfect cuts. I used to sell Bold and Runed scarlets for 200+ and Smooth Autumn's Glows for 180+. Now, I get more Auction Expired returns (DREAAAADDD) then before, with all these new "JCers" popping up and undercutting by like 50G!! It's almost not even worth my time to post auctions atm :/
Also.. looks like Blizzard put in the missing designs like Sovereign Twilight Opal... as WORLD BOE.. YUCCCCK
It's like Blizzard reallllly wants me to hate this game :/
/end rant

theres always been undercutting but now its just gotten stupid. it happens for all things, i had a bunch of bags up for 100g which was the norm and then someone puts liek 20 up for 75 gold and someone else lists 15 for 50g :/
JC has stagnated because everyone allready has gems in their gera at this point, it prob wont pick back up untill the next tier/arena season. just start stockpileing

Utgarde Keep is an easy heroic, and you've got a chance at an epic crossbow from Ingvar. The Nexus is also a pretty easy one with a good variety of loot.
Stay away from Azjol-Nerub and Old Kingdom. Both of those have dps checks in them and if the group wipes, your output will be the first thing they look at.
