Instance Running 101

If this is your first time running instances for the purpose of gear progression:

1. You need 1 tank. A tank is specced for mitigation and health. His gear focuses on mitigation and health. And is gemmed and enchanted for mitigation. and health.
2. You need 1 healer. Healers are specced for healing. Wear gear that focuses on mana, mana regen, and spell power. And are enchanted for mana, mana regen, and spell power. But mostly spellpower.
3. The dps can spec and gear however they feel.

4. Kill the casters first.
5. The dps do not pull. The healer does not pull. The tank pulls.
6. Pulling means mobs come to you.
7. line-of-sight. learn it. It pulls and bunches casters.
8. the healer keeps the tank alive. the tank keeps the healer alive. the dps look after themselves.
9. If the dps have crowd controll skills; use them
10. raid icons. The group leader must set raid icons to mark the kill order. Skull goes down first. If the group leader isn't comfortable setting raid icons, pass on leadership to someone who is.
