Attumen down, Moroes down, Big Bad Wolf down.....
Yeah I'd say we're improving.
Attumen was a one shot.
Got Moroes on the third attempt. First attempt was quality but it didn't come together. Second attempt wasn't a quality attempt it just didn't come together correctly. (We subbed in a Hunter for a Spriest So we had 3 shackles) Third....well he died so its all good.
Big Bad Wolf - 2 shotted. When half the people had never done the encounter before and the MT gets turned in to the little gnome right off the bat. It was a bit of a learning curve. Second time around the same thing happend but we were a smidge more prepared so it all worked out. Basically we should have laid off all DPS that first time around so when the effect wore off the wolf wouldn't rampage through the DPS'ers because the tank didn't have time to gain any aggro.
The Clothies got beat on a bit the second time around too, but not as badly. Mainly just the Dotting locks.
So, things to notice.
Our DPS is still sub par, but we're finding ways to work around it.
Also, none of the kills would be considered "pretty". Attumen took out our mage fairly early on in the fight, so we had a substantial loss in DPS and no one to clear curses, but we just healed through it.
On the Moroes kill, we slacked on re-shackling mobs a bit. Which lead to some unnecessary deaths and taxed the healers trying to keep everyone up. To further illustrate this point - I was the one who got the killing blow on Moroes. We lost a priest, lost some DPS, shackles started breaking and we lost a tank. I managed to get a frost shock on him and he died. A few more seconds and it would have been a different story.
Ways to improve on this.
1 - One of the priests didn't have a focus target macro. That person trying to find their target, re shackle then go back to DPS just wasn't cutting it.
2-We had a hunter this time around in addition to the 3 priests. What we need is better positioning. Once the shackles are set the priests should run away from them and bunch together. The hunter should be standing next to them in between the shackled mobs and the priests and drop an Ice trap in case something breaks.
I think that would help greatly. Also, for the time being this is the setup we should use. Get the 3 priests in there and one shot Moroes. When we start getting better gear and really have the encounter on farm, then we can try to change it up more as far as group composition goes.
For Big Bad Wolf we just need to throttle back DPS until we know who is going to be turned first. If the tank isn't numero uno and he has enough time to get a good amount of threat then its all good. But until we know who it is, we should hold back on DoTs and such.
We stopped there and are going back on Sunday for Curator. If we can get a pally we'll probably go after Maiden as well.
Wish us luck.
Oh btw, here is our WWS report.

Interesting stats Ashuna... you are using lesser healing wave far too often for my taste :D
I only use healing wave (except group healing with Healing salve of course) now except under very specific conditions... the lesser healing wave mana efficiency is bad.
i have a macro now that goes:
/stopcasting
/use Trinket 1
/use Trinket 2
/cast Healing Wave
I just either spam it (the /stopcasting interrupts any previous spell) or use esc to stop casting if the spell is going to overheal... the VisualHeal add on helps you do that (although after a while you get a good feeling of the right time to cast).
This has actually helped me a lot during long fights, conserving mana and healing well the tank.
Also, remember to change your totem relic (the one from the Maiden is good only for Healing Salve, not on single target fights).

Tell Sickzhunter to get agility enchants on boots and cloak, +6 all stats to chest, the scryer inscription on shoulders, and a g-d@mn scope on that gun.
THEN tell him if he really wants to not be the worst DPS class in your kara raid, drop that terrible 0/44/17 spec, do some research, and come back with something reasonable.
5th?! How can you allow that!
/grumble
BRK's right, 5th place with 310 dps is totally unacceptable.
But I don't think it's the gear or spec, it's the shot rotation.
Seriously, 48% dps from auto shotting alone and only 5% from steady? That's just wrong. Any sensible hunter would use SS more, especially MM ones. If he used a simple SS rotation (One SS after every auto), his dps would at least double.
