I keep getting "caught" even though I'm behind, 3 levels ahead, and 1 point currently in imp stealth. Even if i distract first it feels less then 50% of the time im caught and fighting the mob.... I don't remember orig being this hard to pickpocket.

Just a thought to those guilds with EST raid times of 8pm. You might be able to squeeze a few more raiders with raid times starting at 5:30 since the standard American work day ends at 5:00pm, so PST raiders would be able to make 515-530 start times. /cheers

Few people have mentioned this... It's not seven months of MC, it will be 4-5 months. And thats only for those rushing. Getting groups and gear to establish regular clears will take the first few months. The current timeline is actually perfect. At first I was just Mad about ZG and AQ20. However, these were also strategically brought into the game. They allowed alts of burnt out players mains to get gear and move into the raid group without, and gave guilds means of getting replacement raiders gear so they could jump in during pinches.

I really wouldn't recommend leveling as holy. Given your exp as a pally, you can get away with off spec healing. Depending on when you cam into TBC, you may or may not be familiar with down ranking spells, as an offspec healer you are going to have to master this to stay mana'd up. Raiding they are a necessity tank healer, once you get enough MP5, you will be the sludge that keep your tank alive.
