My lock is at 99.44, ilvl 592

Somehow, this levelling run seemed almost too easy. Maybe 'locks are OP.

With the Voidlord as a personal tank, very few fights have been 
challenging. Some of the big set-piece battles - up at Iron Docks,
Shattrath, and Grommashar took a lot of concentration, but were doable.

My gear didn't start to get replaced till 97, but I still have the
BoA weapon from Garrosh, the legendary cloak, and two trinkets left
over from MoP. I'll be really sad to let the cloak go.

Rares are all over the place, and definitely worth the effort. They
tend to drop nice blues.

'Bonus goals' areas are a quick XP boost, but don't reward gear, so
I've stopped doing them. I don't want to outlevel my gear.

Instances vary - they don't give enough XP, but Skyreach gives some nice
items. I'm continuing to run it, hoping trinkets drop.

I've got the legendary ring, but can't wear it yet. I think I may go for
the Apexis Crystals quest to upgrade it, worried that I won't be able to
get into the heroics for a while - my DPS is kind of mediocre (5k-6k).

I still haven't sussed out garrisons - it looks like I may be able to
take some of my followers to help fight, but haven't figured out the
mechanics of doing so. My garrison is at level two, and I have a 
storehouse (giving bank access), and enchanting (letting me shard stuff).
But handling work orders, missions, etc, remains a bit of mystery.

Sharding is big deal; it's always bugged me that I have to vendor gear
that my mage could have DE'd. Since I didn't need money, I also tended to
shard BoEs. Now, I can do so, though I'm saving the BoEs for alts.

Still liking the greeness of most of the zones.

Wish my toon could fly.
