Ouch. I'm finally going through SoO for the first time this week (had
only done wing 1 before), and not much problems that way, thankfully.
Couple of wipes on some bosses but not usually more than a couple
leave, bigger problem is when tanks leave after the boss they
wanted... third wing tonight, both tanks left after first boss. One
dps produces a tank offspec and clears the trash for us, one tank
arrives soon after, so we kill 2nd boss that way (considering it took
a wipe before clearing, that was quite some time without 2nd official
tank), then the dpser who was a tank leaves... 20 mins of waiting
later, we finally get a new tank! Must've been 40 mins plus in the
queue...

Biggest problem I have with SoO is the LFR ilvl is rubbish. I was in
mostly 522 gear before the patch hit, a lot of it upgraded, and have
since spent tons of time on the Timeless isle. meaning, 553 tier
legs/gloves, a few 559 drops from Ordos, and 535 in nearly every other
slot, all of which I've got to two secondary stats, even if they're
not the optimal ones yet (no spirit, but, eh, mana is not a problem
for me atm anyway, so it's not that big a deal). So, aside from weapon
and one trinket, the 528 LFR drops are pretty useless really, and
don't give me any motivation to bother with the place. Especially
since I got a staff this week so weapon no longer needed either (and I
have a 522 trinket).
