Character Details

Character Name: Coj/Coji (there is already a "Coji" on Kazzak, so no doubt some variation)

Class: Shaman (Restoration - preferred, Enhancement offspec)

Level: 90

Armoury link: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/emeriss/Coj/advanced

Professions and Skill Level:
Engineering (600)
Jewelcrafting (600)

What Elixirs/Flasks/Buff food do you use in raids to boost your performance?

Braised Tutle
Why no 300int food? It was shockingly expensive on my old/current realm of Emeriss. While I'm happy to spend time farming for consumables, I didn't really want to spend my entire life doing so.

Potion of Focus / Master Mana Potion
This varies on the fight or the situation I'm in. On encounters with a lul in the fight, Potion of Focus is the obvious choice, otherwise Master Mana Potion. I also have Potion's of the Jade Serpent on hand for pre-potting when the need arrises.

Flask of the Warm Sun
This probably requires an explanation, over using Flask of Falling Leaves. I could type out several paragraphs going in to the math, but since someone else has already done that (and more) a link should surfice.

http://iam.yellingontheinternet.com/2012/10/08/why-more-spirit-is-not-the-answer-to-your-healing-problems/

Please note that my reasoning on this does relate to 10 man raiding, while on 25 man with the increase in number of healers and thus higher returns from Mana Tide, Falling Leaves may be a better choice (math/research needed).

Describe what you think you would bring to our guild if accepted.
I am an extremely reliable person who has been playing a healer of one type or another since WoW was released, and before then and after in other games. I pride myself on knowing the in's and out's of my class and performing to the best of my abilities

Outside of raiding I unfortunately do not have a lot of time for many other activities other than farming for raiding, or other games for that matter.

Character History

Previous Guilds:
Disbelievers of Faith (Shadowmoon) - Beta, Classic
Showtime (Magtheridon) - Classic
Insomnia (Ahn'Qiraj) - Classic
GUILD OF DOOM (Ahn'Qiraj) - TBC
BRETHREN (?) - TBC
GUILD OF DOOM (Ahn'Qiraj) - Wrath
Pinehearst (Sunstrider) - Wrath
GUILD OF DOOM (Emeriss) - Cata, MoP

Notes
Insomnia and GUILD OF DOOM are essentially the same guild, made up of a very long standing group of friends, who, as you can see, played together since classic WoW. Over time we lost people to real life, other games, or simply bordom of WoW, then gained them back from time to time resulting in a resurgence in the guild. Jeyne and I are the only ones now remaining.

Similarly, Pineheart was a guild led by old acquaintances from Ahn'Qiraj.

Reason for Leaving:
GUILD OF DOOM in it's current state is not sustainable and has now ground to a halt. This has been caused by the vast majority of our friends leaving the game and a horrendously low population server, that has made recruiting even "reasonable" players a complete nightmare.

When did you start this character and how long have you /played?
Classic - 205 days (My Priest and previous main who was also created in classic, has 338 days played)

What encounters and raids have you experienced in Mists of Pandaria?
The following is all 10 man

MoV 6/6H
HoF 4/6H (Zor'lok, Ta'yak, Garalon, Mel'jarak), 6/6N
ToES 1/4E (Protectors), 4/4N

What previous raid experience (Vanilla, TBC, WoLK, Cata) do you have on this char?

Please note that I started raiding on my Shaman in Cata to balance our raid setup. Previous to that I played several different classes as my "main" depending on the raids needs and guild at the time. Please see previous guilds (above) for a more clear time line.

Classic
- MC (Priest - DoF, Hunter - Insomnia)
- BWL (Priest - DoF, DPS Warrior - Showtime, Hunter - Insomnia, Prot Warrior - Insomnia)
- AQ40 (Resto Druid - Showtime, Prot Warrior - Insomnia)
- Nax40 - 6/15 (Prot Warrior - Insomnia / helping friends guild)

TBC (Full clear, all pre nerf)
- Gruul, Mag, SSC, TK, BT, Hyjal (Priest - GoD)
- SWP (4/6 Priest - GoD, 6/6 Priest - BRETHREN)

Wrath (Full clear, all H appart from LK - Priest)

Cata (Full clear, all H (DS 4/6 pre nerf) - Shaman)

What do you think YOUR responsibilities are in a raid?

To ensure I do my best to ensure nones health reaches zero throughout the fight, including my own (fire bad!). Other than that, to always be punctual, pay attention, not take unnecessary/unannounced breaks, and to be polite and understanding to my guild-mates.

What is your Spell Rotation
This is extremely broad question to answer as a healer. The best I can do is list off abilities in the approximate order they would be used depending on the situation. I have omitted raid cooldowns as these are usually called for / scheduled for use.

Clumped raid healing
Healing Rain
Healing Stream
Riptide
Chain Heal

Spread raid healing (extremely variable)
Healing Rain (on melee, if stationary)
Healing Stream
Riptide
Chain Heal (on clumps)
Healing Wave (spread, high damage people)
Greater Healing Wave (spread, high damaged people)

Single Target
Riptide
Healing Wave (low damage)
Greater Healing Wave (high damage)
Healing Stream

Notes:
Healing Stream is never a bad button to press unless everyone is full hp.
Healing Surge is not mentioned due to be used only in emergency situations.

Why have you chosen to reforge, gem and enchant the way you have / Give a brief description on why particular stats are good for your class/spec.
Haste - I'm currently aiming for the first Earthliving break-point of 871, however due to gear I cannot reforge down this far. Come 5.2 and the Elemental Mastery buff, I will increase this to around 21xx (don't have the exact math to hand) to use Healing Tide under the 30% EM Haste effect (40.01%) for an addition 2 ticks.

Mastery and Crit provide differing amounts of benefit depending on average raid health. As such I believe in a balanced setup between these two stats, thus my, what many would consider rather odd, reforging. With me raiding 10man, when reforging out of Haste I have preferred Crit for both the throughput and mana regen (Resurgence).

Also Post a UI Screen Shot (this is so we know how you see what's around you)
Screenshot as Ele, but it doesn't vary much, if at all, between specs.

Technical Information

Do you have oRA3 Deadly Boss Mods and OMEN
I have been using Phoenix Style, Bigwigs and Skada in the past, but am happy to swap, so yes.

Please list any other add ons you use to help you raid.
Phoenix Style
Phoenix Style - Slack Check
Skada
ElvUI (In my opinion, clearer than many other "full" UI's. It's also updated regularly so very few problems between content patches)
Weak Aura's (various)
Bindpad (Bind abilities directly to keys so they don't need to be shown in the UI)
Mik Scrolling Battle Text (clear up screen spam, while still being able to monitor healing)

Do you have a microphone & Ventrilo installed?
Yes.

Describe your skills in spoken English:
I'm a northern Englishman, so it's quite likely to be worse than many of your members due to the dialect.

What's your connection & computer hardware?
Virgin Media 100/10mbit

Core i7-2700K @ 4.9Ghz
16Gb RAM
nVidia GTX 670
BenQ XL2420T 120hz Monitor
512Gb Crucial M4 SSD
Steel Series - Sensei Mouse
Filco Majestouch (Cherry Black switches) Keyboard

General Information

Age: 33

Country: England

Why did you choose to apply to this guild in particular?
We we're looking for a 25man guild on a high population realm, with progress similar to our own to join.

Players you know / How did you come across us?
My good friend Jeyne found you, I believe via WoW Progress.

Alts and Level (if any):
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/emeriss/Coji/advanced

Are you or any of your alts currently guilded?:
My Priest will remain on Emeriss for a couple of weeks until moving over to Kazzak. At that point I would be more than happy to have him join.

Did you read our Rules & Policies?
Yes.

What days can you play and what hours during those days (Please let us know now so no confusion is caused if you were to be accepted)?:
I am available for all your raid days (Wed, Thur, Sun, Mon, Tue); online for raids starting at 20:00 (I assume that means being online 15 minutes or so earlier) is not a problem, nor is staying as late as is asked (I'm usually quite a night owl). I cannot start earlier than this however, due to work and personal responsibilities.

I can often be found online Friday and Saturday, though I will always treat these as optional days unless I have agreed to be online for something in advance.

Previous online gaming experience (if any):
Various MuD's (Pre 1996)
Meridian 59 (1996 - 1999)
Everquest (1999 - 2002)
Counterstike (2001 - 4)
World of Warcraft (2004 - Present)
(To avoid a huge list, insert pretty much every other major MMO (and many minor ones) ever released, at some time or another)

Anything else you'd like to include about yourself:
Not much really (it's starting to get a little late!).

My early raiding experience in WoW was as an officer and raid leader (DoF) and GM, raid leader, DKP master, webmaster and everyone's target for whining (Showtime). After Showtime I decided running guilds really wasn't for me any more and took co-staring role along side Jeyne. I've been there ever since.

You can find videos from over the years from GoD uploaded here (note that only Putricide and Stone Guard H are from my PoV):

Heroic Nefarian - 2 parts (Including Jeyne rage):

Thanks for your time.
