Banged out the 3rd part last night, as I had a flex group on Tuesday and 
a regular 10 man on Wednesday night.  I must say that I enjoyed this one 
(Underhold) more than the 1st two.

The first raid is getting pretty straightforward as more people know it. 
  I ran it on Tuesday before my flex and only wiped once on the third 
boss, while one shotting everything else.

The second raid is still a f-ing nightmare on LFR, in particular the 
third boss.

This 3rd raid is actually fun, imo and is only 3 bosses.  Bliz decided 
to give us a break on the first boss with pretty simple mechanics and my 
group one shotted him.  The 3rd boss is also pretty straightforward in 
regards to actual mechanics...Big 'ol T-Rex Dinosaur to kill, with it's 
jailers as the adds in alternating phases that you have to kill and take 
thier keys....

It's the 2nd "boss" that is probably the most interesting and different 
raid "boss" I've come across in a raid it quite a while.  Seems Garrosh 
has literally boxed up a bunch of bosses and the raid has to clear them 
as two seperate groups the entire raid.  If one group dies the other 
does as well.  It really is too much to try to talk about here and you 
need to check it out before going in.  It kinda really is cool.  This 
will be the bane of the LFR, esp going forward with the lack of 
communication / coordination that is rampant in LFR's.  With great tanks 
and communication we still only got it on the 5th attempt.

As "reset Tuesdays" (in the US) seem to bring out better players on 
Tuesday and continually declining until the following nightmare Monday 
night,  so far I would continue the trend of running these new raids in 
reverse order when they reset, although I might consider still doing #2 
first, then #3 and #1 can be done anytime after.

My only disappointment last night was in my gear.  I got a LFR grade 
wrist off the second boss, and only gold from the other 2.  The problem 
I have is that I had gotten the same named wrist as a world drop off the 
very first trash in the very first instance on 10 man regular, coming 
down the ramp.  (So 540-somthing gear).  I guess that world drop was 
rare as they put it's LFR 528 same named version as a drop off the 10th 
boss in the series.   grrrr.

Ah well...Off to relax on 3-day weekend away from computers and hectic 
life.  So thank you, Christopher Columbus, for misjudging the size of 
the world, where you landed, and for thinking you were in India - all 
just to give me a day off.  :)
