And then there was one...

That's right. Month after month, the battle against the penultimate boss in the Sunwell Plateau has raged on, but finally the great M'uru has been defeated.
M'uru is easily the hardest boss Blizzard has ever put into the game, simply because of one fact: the first phase of the encounter is not random at all, and therefore the tolerance for player error has been tuned to be incredibly small. In other words, if any one of the twenty-five people fighting him make a mistake in those first six minutes, the raid wipes. Then, lets not get into the fact that phase two is harder than phase one.
People are right to call M'uru the slayer of guilds. Fighting him requires massive amounts of time and frustration, as you wait for people to learn phase one so well they can do it with their eyes closed. Swapping in new people because of rotations? Be prepared to wait for them to learn as well. Not to mention the huge amounts of gold and consumables that are thrown at him every attempt. Some, perhaps even most guilds on him will not make it to the other side. The past few weeks have seen guild after guild either disband or sit back and say, "You know what? We'll just sit this one out until Wrath."
But not us. 376 pulls of M'uru later, and Advent Fury proves that it's not so easy to stand in the way of a guild that's been kicking asses and taking names since Onyxia and Ragnaros decided to get uppity. Huge congratulations to everyone who's put in hour after hour of attempts to learn the fight and beat this guy.

So, after a long night filled with exciting and interesting challenges like "Oh look, the off tank got conflagged and the main tank got confounding, and now Sacrolash is gang-banging our melee like it's going out of style!" or possibly "Oh look, we made it to phase two and then the warlock tank (yours truly) got punched in the face for 19k when he ran in for shadow nova!". Yes, it was a stressful, stressful night but the twins are finally down.
Now to make sure everyone completes their homework assignments and buys some K-Y for the pounding we are going to be getting from M'uru for the next few weeks.
Bonus points if you noticed me being a retard for the killshot while trying to get the angle right and hit printscreen.

Bone Dragons are the new Two-headed Dog

Sapphiron do... wait, no.... Nightbane dow..! wait that's not it.... FELMYST, yes Felmyst is down finally. Phew, starting to lose track of all these bone dragons. What's that you say, a bone dragon enemy that spawns skeletons and flies in the air to breathe on people! I NEVER SAW IT COMING!
Seriously, as anyone who raided in vanilla wow can tell you, these things are on the fast-track to becoming the new multiple-head dog boss that needs to be tranq'ed. Even Naxx had one, sort of.
Anyway, we killed Felmyst (obviously), though it was a close call. When she lands at 3% into her berserk, and the whole raid is piling into her trying to kill her before the first berserk gas nova, she goes down quick. Not, as it turns out, quite quick enough; she got one off sub 1% and the only person left alive was a bubbled paladin who hammer-of-wrathed her to death. Divine Shield, we salute you.
A tribute to our priests after the break.
