And then once you have all the non-heroic gear from there, start doing it on heroic. I think that would help you become raid viable the fastest. And then get have guildies drag you along in the raids. Just my thoughts though. Isn’t the fastest way to gear up to run the 5-man Trial of the Champion over and over again?

Exactly my point and what I had been saying on the podcast prior to the changes. I still haven't bought even one piece of gear using emblems for my Mage (except for the BoA shoulders I got him with a different toons emblems when he was leveling) Yeah..

I knew that the "casual" gearing route wouldn't be all that casual.. it's as casual as filling the bank account with dailies or quickly getting your Son's of Hodir rep. Sure you don't have to be hardcore to wear T8 gear... but you can't be time poor The proof is in the emblems… emblems Gnomer hasn’t bothered chasing and that Squidly is yet to see for another 13 levels…

I know from experience 25man can be a little more forgiving because losing someone isn’t as horrible. More backup healers/dps/maybe tanks." No, 25-man is a lot harder than 10-man, mostly thanks to much higher DPS requirements. If your average DPS on Impaler without BL is under 5.6k you can't get past the first boss. With 5.6-5.7k from 16 DPS players you'll probably get the worms out a couple of seconds after worms come. If anyone dies it's a wipe. “Is 25 man heroic any easier?
