Instance update:
We will be doing UBRS as a guild ALOT.. be ready for it, and come...quests + items.
Baron side Strat is nerfed, only greens drop and you have to kill all 3 bosses, so I see Strat raids as dumb, except for scarlet side for tanks.
LBRS, well no comment there, but do it all, or just do the first 3 bosses, not past the spiders/orcs.
BRD, waste of time except for Molten Core.
UBRS And Scholo is where it is at. So look to me and others to dedicate our time with those. MC is alliance...

even though i was behind you guys for the most part (didn't hit 60 until feb), i think i've passed you guys in end game content =)
lemme give you my pointers, and what to do, etc...
1) UD Strath is awesome. Once you get the key, you can do 10 man raids here in less than 2 hours. 1.5 hours easy once you get decent at it, and I bet with 20 solid people, you could get this close to 1-1.25 hours. One of the best loot/time ratios imo. Stonespine or whatever that gargoyle's name drops the uber Warrior Cloak, Baron drops uber rogue cloak, has a rare uber 2-h, and drops every classes' set pants in the game. Ramstein drops those uber bolts (trinket which does 500 ae dmg). one of the zigg protectors drops devout boots, which most cloth casters can use. etc.
2) Scholomance is the biggest piece of shit in the world. The gear is beyond putrid. And worst of all, this dungeon is SLOOOOOOW. You have to clear a lot of shit. Only great reasons to come here is after 2-3 hours, you finally get to Gandling who drops all the set headpieces. Getting to Jandice is a pain, and if you have noobs, this raid will take 4 hours. Jandince only drops dreadmist shoulders 15%, only reason to do her, and it's like a 1 hour detour. kirtonos drops the valor boots i think, but he's at the entrance. this dungeon is by far the worst because of how many mobs you have to clear and how slow it is imo.
3) UBRS... this dungeon is ok. A lot of people need their set gear from here, but most importantly, UBRS is needed for the onyxia key quest. Everyone in the guild should be on it. It starts in Kargath with Warlord's Command (LBRS), then sends you to Orgrimmar for For the Horde (Rend in UBRS), then sends you on a cross country trip, then you get Oculus Something Quest (collect eyes off dragonkin in UBRS), then you go around killing 3 epic dragons in the outside world, then you need to kill Drakkisath in UBRS for everyone to finish it (he drops 1 blood only, and everyone needs the blood to finish the onyxia key quest)
4) LBRS... it's not really supposed to be raided, but you should anyways to get your mages Trindelhaven, and a lot of classes set pieces. Plus, you need to do it for Warlord's Command.
5) BRD... this dungeon isn't that bad... but you grow outta the gear fast at 60... help 50+ guildies through here as often as you can though. Lot of decent blues you can use at 60 drop here. Golem Skull for Warriors, Burst of Knowledge/Second Wind for any caster/hybrid, Ironfoe off the Emp, and lastly, doing the princess quest gives you a decent reward.
6) oops. almost forgot Human Strat..it's ok. A little slow, not as many drops, but there are some great quests here. Of love and memory = best caster cloak from a quest. archivist quest line = good loot as well.
When you guys start doing Molten Core more often, I can tell you guys the strategies we've been using. For horde, we're pretty far along compared to other servers, we've downed 5 of the 9 bosses in there already. I've been dual box'ing a 60 priest and 60 druid in here, so i have a decent amount of insight i think.

Just a note, currently the Gauntlet is still bugged, and on a global 15 minute respawn timer or something of that sort. All three ziggs need to be dropped and all three respawn after 15 minutes (which they aren't suppose to do at all anymore) so, from what I've heard as we wiped with 10 when the Baroness chain possessed our raid, it's pretty hard to do that side of strath without a sizeable force (15+ people, which is a waste of time because currently the area is fucked, if we wait for them to fix the area with the next patch and everyone focuses on ubrs and onyxia keys, time will be better spent while that area is fucked up.) Now then, when the area was working (well, better than it is now at least) yea, it was a great place to run a quick 45 minute raid to the baron for decent loot:hour or whatever. Although, in the same amount of time you can run UBRS to the Beast in a decent group of 10-15.
As far as MC is concerned, I'm very interested in going back in there and checking it out, but people seem to be forgetting to tell Oblit about it and as a result, we don't have enough people to do it. I would like to try MC every Saturday around 2-3pm est so we have a decent stretch to work with, but I guess we need to make it a more "known" thing.
Oh yea, and you are right Scholomance fucking blows when you consider the work you have to do versus the rewards you get for it. I don't even want to go back into Scholomance until they upgrade the loot there and tweak the dungeon a bit, but people still need armor from there so I suppose at some point I will need to take a weekend and rush my guild through there about 10-15 times and hope we get all the drops we need.
And don't forget, anyone that hasn't finsihed the LBRS starter quest for Onyxia's key, is going to have to do it in a 5 man group, because they fixed the drop raid for credit bug.
