Got Sindragosa 25 tonight; cool fight.  Honestly 10 man felt a little more challenging.  We'll see Arthas some more on Monday after the Super Bowl.  For tonight we just waved hello and sat in his lap.

Waited till Monday of the first reset for Putricide 25 man since we had some critical MIAs on Sunday night and this allowed us to clear it on 10 man with 2 main groups and 3 alt groups.  The 25 man version is definitely a ramp up, especially in tank damage, but it's still very well tuned for its place in the instance.  Everyone played well (once a couple people channeled their childhood Dodgeball skills) and we got the kill without too much sweat.  Overall it seems like Putricide is our concensus most fun fight in Wrath so far.  It makes us really look forward to the rest of the instance and hard modes.  I'm still a bit annoyed by the shared normal/heroic attempts counter, however.  Oh well, we will have to deal.

Thanks to the most untimely Thunderstorm in history, this achievement took us longer to get than it should have, but we got it done.  Tonight's kill was pretty much flawless and now the guild can really go into relaxation/farm mode as we gear up for Icecrown Citadel.  Terrific job by all on this one.  It really feels like the roster is not carrying any dead weight at the moment.  A secondary bonus is that I am certain some of our less scrupulous members will entertain themselves concocting far-fetched answers when whispered "hwo'd u get that title?!?" in the weeks to come.

Went back two nights later and 3-shot Anub to complete our Mad Skill achievement.  Finished with 46 attempts remaining.  Was a great job by everyone to focus and bear down on this one.  Really feels like the guild has gotten back and perhaps even surpassed its pre-nerf M'uru stride.  Now we just need to carry the momentum forward, finish off insanity and prepare for Arthas. 

PS: Looks like 21st guild in the US (51st World) to get this particular achievement.  Very nice.

It took a while, but we got heroic Anub down this evening with 24 attempts remaining.  The phase 3 healing kinks took longer to sort out than anticipated but at the end of the day we got the kill, and one that seems like it will be much easier to repeat in future resets.  It was a very well tuned and fun encounter that stretched the guild to think of more efficient ways of handling the seemingly simple elements of this fight.   Our collective thanks go out to Kurds, Lorre and Lia who took the lead in strategizing for this task and who analyzed the after action reports to better hone our strategy and tactics. 

Overall I think most of us were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed Coliseum 25 Man as a pleasant change of pace from the tedium of Ulduar's trash and large number of bosses.  It will be really nice to be able to tackle PTR testing for Icecrown knowing we're not leaving unfinished business on live.
