There's no instance discussion forum yet, so i'll get the ball rolling on instances. Here's one about my experience withing BRC(patent pending).

Group make up: Mage, Feral Druid, Shadow Priest, Resto chammy, DK tank

Presentation:
Looked good and consistent with the old world/BRM style with a new update. We didn't find any clipping or graphical issues and no issues moving.

Trash:
Easy, honestly. We had no issues with any trash, even skipped a bunch due to the layout.

Boss 1:
Little issue, the mechanic was interesting. Spread out after you break out of the chains. We have seen it before.

Boss 2:(aka 'the ones we broke)
We were discussing the adds, which i could sheep before they transformed to dragonkin. So i executed a flawless sheep pull(be in awe). Sheeping the closest praying add, bringing them up the ramp to the tank and then hitting IceBlock.

I kept the add sheeped the entire fight and we killed Corla, then went after the sheep. When the sheep broke, the add went to the praying mode it starts in(99% damage reduction). Which locked us in combat. May have to make these adds non CC.

Boss 3:
group leader said you had to kill the slimes when they were on fire. I wasn't able to damage them(using Frostfire bolt). We wiped, couldn't try again.

Fin.

Anyone have any strats for the 3rd boss?

Out with your experiences.

Thanks for testing Blackrock Caverns! BTW, I've got the beta teleport NPCs from Stormwind, Dalaran, and Orgrimmar hooked up in an internal build. They will take you to the dungeon, and if you die you can use the NPC again to get back in even as a ghost. These NPCs will show up in a future patch.

Things that we're really interested in for this dungeon, and later dungeons as they enter testing:

- The quality of your gear.
- What level you were at the time you did the dungeon.
- How long it takes to kill a boss?
- Any trash that felt obnoxious?
- Has your playstyle changed much from WotLK? Still AEing all the trash?
- Were any crowd control mechanics used?
- What's healing feel like?
