The trinket at least is worthwhile, as if you're unluckly in LFR it's
best available other than the 50k Timeless Coins one. I still use it
in my healing set (granted, I haven't farmed LFR, burned out on that
getting my cloak so didn't really bother much with SoO). Having a full
set of upgraded Shado-Pan Assault gear kinda made LFR pointless for me
tbh, it's like "oh, farm ages for a drop, and THEN I have to spend 500
valor to make it actually not worse than what I was wearing? Sod that"
:-P Ofc not an issue for the newly-levelled but yeah, the ilvl
difference is so minimal that it makes little difference as far as I'm
concerned.

Not that intensive? To me that much raiding would = major burnout time
lol, guess different people are different! :-)

That varies with server, on mine the frogs are farmed just as much as
the rest :-) Kinda annoying when I'm there waiting for Bufo (not
killing anything) and get spammed with group invites...
