Speaking of WoD...

Last time I was in there - my group was awesome (...minus me when I derped in Angrah), but... I can't say much for the other two Alliances x.x
Co-healer D/Ced on the way from the first trash to Angrah, so I solo healed up to Atomos when a new one came in.

The derp was real in Angrah - myself included. Now, I haven't died to Double Vision in ages. I guess that day was time for a refresh on that. :| I don't even know why I ended up being that dumb, when I knew better. Either way, I'm noticing that I'm healing a lot of the other alliances people in the fights. Went to raise one of my own party members.... couldn't see them or the target symbol int he mess of names and effects (I usually check they're in range so I don't waste my swift cast) so I moved in towards the middle to make sure my Raise range was broad in a wide circle. Aha, found him, he was hidden under Angrah. Now, because some of my hotkeys are a little off after resetting via new comp, I hit swiftcast + Holy instead of SC + Raise -_- (They're next to each other. I'll take that as an indication that they used to be swapped pre-new comp, and I haven't brought back my macro, yet... and honestly the macro had been annoying me, anyway). Sigh. *facepalm at self* And then DoubleVision on strike three appeared right after - sprinted for the side and... didn't make it. Down I went. And down I stayed because none of the other healers wanted to raise my alliance's only healer o_O (which, yeah, I made an idiot of myself so I assumed they didn't want to raise an idiot and Holy makes everything incredibly noticable - but come on. I think the soon-to-come description is just as bad as my blunder - if not worse). Second, while I'm laying there, I notice some other alliances healers and people are down..... and no one is getting them up. And no one consistently healing the MT (Also, people need to stay out of the eyebeam zone -_-). So boom, down the MT goes. Another OT picks Angrah up. Boom, down they go. Our tank picks it up..... boom, down they go, too. >_< DPS dropping between pickups, as well. It's like, I'm staring at the other healers, one of which had been raised, thinking "Are you people kidding me!?" Went through ALL three tanks without heals!? *Slamming head on desk while watching all of this unfold*
We only got lucky that Angrah's HP was low and someone LB'd.

The rest of the raid went okay, though.... I guess Angrah woke everyone up (myself included). Five-Headed didn't go bad solo-healing, just wasn't easy, either.
