More below the fold:
Quick one this week. Big news is Team Z's downing of two raid bosses on Sunday, but I'll let Tvath tell you about it:
It was a great week for Team Z! We had gotten close to killing the Sha of Pride last week, and he fell quickly this time. This boss likes to try to insult us while we're fighting -- if someone dies, he opines "That one is not worthy of your group." Pbbbbt, say we.
Next we tackled Galakras. This is a fun and complicated fight, in which part of the group needs to climb two towers, defeat mini-bosses there, and take over cannons to bring down a dragon for everyone to kill. It takes a lot of coordination and (ahem) it helps if your tower healer doesn't get booted off into the canyon. Once I got that sorted out, we started to get it, and on the famed "last pull," down went the dragon!
One sad moment was having to say goodbye to our beloved panda friend Gingerbeer, who is taking a WoW break. Ginger was noted for falling in love with the enemy bosses, his sighs of yearning providing much amusement for his teammates. The delightful Arcanesong is stepping up to fill his spot, which gives us a lot of flexibility as he can bring both healing and damage to the table.

I expected the Sha of Pride to post Recount logs during the fight.
Here's Ninotchka with the Team Kaels and Flexorama report:
eam Kaels had a red-letter week last week, downing two new heroic bosses (Immerseus and Norushen) and getting some good work in on a third. This week we went back and (aside from mispulls which we will not count) oneshotted those two heroic bosses again, which is a very good feeling. We worked a bit on H Galakras last week, since that's where we were in progression, and we decided to go ahead and work some more on him this week since we think we're getting the rhythm of the fight down. It's very close to normal, and we're getting things under control, slowly. We took some time this week to get a couple raid achievements done on flex, which was also nice.
Not much to say about flexorama - we have relaxed into a nice routine of quickly clearing the first 6 bosses, and we seem to get good drops for someone each week. This week we had between 22 and 25 for the whole run, which is always nice.

And that's what I have this week.
For the Horde!
