Hah, well, after my complaints... LFR 2nd wing is MILES better. Tectus
was fun, tons of dmg and argh, line of sight on dying people lol, felt
like absolute chaos but it was actually fun. Other two bosses were
similar, total chaos, run around, crap on floor everywhere, random
attacks, ok, I didn't really understand the whole of the tactics
frankly, but, it was fun. Felt like my heals were valuable, as people
took so much dmg, felt like trying to not stand in crap was a good
idea, as stuff actually hurt a bit this time, and overall, just felt
like it should do on LFR: easy enough to kill stuff first time, yes,
but where mechanics and playing properly do count and do make a
difference. 

Thank goodness for that, I was down enough about the lack of solo
content without losing LFR too, now I've got one thing to look forward
to each week!
