What is your character name and class?
Mykaios - druid.

Do you prefer progression and hard mode raiding, easy raiding and farm content, or would you rather not raid at all?
Whatever I can get into :D because I know there isn't a slot for progression raiding.

What is your spec, rotation, and glyph setup, and why did you choose them?
*Spec: Feral (Yes, I am well aware of the lack of need for feral [hence the "whatever I can get into" comment.] I'd put booomkin but I'm still working on that).
*Rotation: I've been working on this with Weks...(and I am open to suggested changes).
-Bosses: mangle, roar, berserk, rake, shred to 5, rip, shred to 5, rip (or bite if it shows up as "a more powerful spell is already active)
-Single Target: mangle, roar, rake, shread to 5, bite
*Glyphs:
-Major: Rip, Savage Roar, Shred (they're used in my rotation, so it's a must that I have them as glyphs!)
-Minor: Dash (in case I need to run away from something or need to catch up), Unburdened Rebirth (so there's always one extra person to battle res. someone who died :D), Thorns (this is mainly for soloing, since I cast thorns on tanks...uhm if this can be replaced by something better please let me know).

Please list your gear level range from lowest to highest:
200(it's the mirror of truth trinket)-259...mostly 232's

What raid experience do you have?
Zul'Gurub 25, ToC10, ToC25, Onyxia10 - just started ICC10 with a pug :x

What is your role during a raid?
DPS

Are you open to feedback/constructive criticism
Yes, I'm always asking for help on how I can better my character for myself and to help out others.

How do you go about preparing for raids?
I make sure everything is enchanted, assuming I can get them or someone is around to enchant what I need. I make fish feast if I have the mats for it and put one down if it's needed. I make sure my gear has epic gems. Making sure I know where to go, what to do, how to fight something, what to stay out of, etc.

After reading over our raid schedule on the main page of our website, how many raids will you be willing and able to commit to per week?
At the moment, as I lack a busy schedule and am not in school yet, any time/all of them.

Have you read over our rules and DKP system and understand them fully?
Yep!

In terms of your spec and rotation, I'll defer to Ceciel or Drashian for the actual druidy build, but in terms of your current class and spec, I'm going to be somewhat blunt now. We have no less than 3 active raiding rogues, and at least 4 main spec feral cat/bear raiders already in our progression, and who are all essentially competing for pretty much the exact same DPS/leather items. Atop that, we have a considerable amount of druids in general in our guild, most of whom are all vying for a raid position.

I can appreciate enjoying and wanting to play a class you've leveled, and to be perfectly fair, you should certainly be allowed to do so. However, as we just had Twigdancer switch his main from feral to his priest because we were not able to ever slot him for a progression slot, I'm not at all inclined to approve one now for someone else. You pay to play this game as much as anyone else, so if you are adamant about trying to get into progression raiding, you may wish to look outside DR for your own needs.

Since you've done a lot of work in gearing and apparently working on your spec, I'm sure we can try to get you in with other casual members when we do alt runs, weekly raids, etc, but otherwise, we are, as it has been said repeatedly, filled for feral raiders.

Don't fight darkness - bring the Light, and darkness will disappear.

I love how you always repeat exactly what the app already said Aelora :P. We can see what we can do about alt runs and what not. With a good boomchicken gear and damage we may be able to get you into a regular raid but working in the alt runs until then would be great for the practice of getting used to the tired and true mechanics that blizzard loves.

WOOF!

Spec and rotation look fine. It's highly beneficial to have one feral with Improved Leader of the Pack in the group, but given our group composition, it's very likely that there will be another feral in any raiding situation you're in. You list your rotation as a sequence, which worries me a little. I'll assume you adapt it to always keep Savage Roar up, and replace Shreds with Rakes and Mangles when appropriate.

Edit: I also noticed you're well over the kitty hit cap and slightly over the expertise cap, but since you didn't gem for hit or anything, I'm gonna guess that's just what came on your gear. You might look at a different trinket than Mark of Supremacy until your hit goes down some, though, if you have any others in your arsenal.

I have CDO. It's like OCD, except that all the letters are in alphabetical order. As they should be.

I suggested her to drop the hit trinket in place for the mirro of truth. Gives 84 crit and chance for 1k ap on equip. That will help her lots. Her over the hit cap is due to the gear. Nothing can be done about it, just the way the triumph/tier gear is.

Life like death is a transitory state. Who can tell the dream from the dreamer?

Yes, I try to keep those up. Yes, it's all my gear that doubles my hit rating and crit @_@ And, I just picked up the mirror of truth.

Is Feral really that much fun to play? It just sees like a disportional amount of druids seem to be Cats/Bear.

I like it, but as Majel once said before I have a "fascination" with cats. I just really, really like them :p (That's why we got a third <_< - because I wanted my own little kitten :3)

You can have my GirlFriends cat, She's fat, useless and mean. In fact I insist.....

No, that's ok XD.
