Describe what you think you would bring to our guild if accepted. (raiding and social aspects)
Aside from the usual of dedication, punctuality, and an enjoyment of playing with other people towards a common goal I think a large part if what I bring is near insane optimism. I have no problem with helping others out and enjoy the challenges that raids and other content throw at me.
For social side of the game I am happy to help out in whatever way I can – be it farming mats to giving up a night to go through strategy guides for certain bosses. In the past I have helped out with raid leading and led raids solo in the past so I have experience with helping others (and bashing my head against a wall)

Character History
-----------------------------------
Previous Guilds:
Final Contingency – Scarshield Legion
Arctic Vikings – Emerald Dream
Northrend Exposure – Scarshield Legion

Reason for Leaving:
Final Contingency – guild started to fragment until there was hardly anyone online
Arctic Vikings – guild politics started to fragment the guild and people went into burnout which caused a lot of people to stop.
Northrend Exposure – too few people to be able to recruit effectively and slow asphyxiation until the raid leaders turned the guild into a social only (still have my alts in this guild)

When did you start this character and how long have you /played ?
I started this character about a week or two prior to WoTLK coming out. I have played in this character as a MS tank and OS feral DD since I started

What encounters and raids have you experienced in Cataclysm? Please state if it was on 10man or 25man and was it normal or heroic
I have not done any 25man content since the end of WotLK (current content)
Blackwing Descent :
10man : 6/6 full clear NORMAL
10man HC : 4/6 – have not done Nefarion or Omnitron

Throne of the four winds:
10man : 2/2 full clear NORMAL
10man HC : ½

Bastion of Twilight:
10 man : 4/4 full clear NORMAL
10 man HC : 2/5 – not done Valiona and Theralion/ascendant council/Sinestra (Cho'gall only killed after DS available)

Firelands:
10 man: 7/7 full clear NORMAL
10man HC : 6/7 – not killed Rag HC

What previous raid experience do you have on this char? Please only mention stuff you did at the time when it was a current raid, we don’t need to know you can clear black temple when you are level 85.

Started raiding in WotLK with Final Contingency in Nax. Since that was were I started I did not have a clue what I was doing but got better and an enjoyment of raiding.
Ulduar normal clear and partial HC fights.
Normal clear and partial HC clear on coliseum (up to faction fight)
ICC 10HC completed full clear while current generally with myself and a prot tank.
10man clear on ruby sanctum (not HC)
current content for cata – generally cleared okay on normals and then had an uphill struggle with afkers and lack of commitment in HC modes

What do you think YOUR responsibilities are in a raid? :
Give a original answer here, saying to buff and dps/heal/tank isnt really worth mentioning
Mainly I believe my responsibilty in the raid is manifold:
-1 : keep the boss hitting me or other tank instead of anyone else
-2 : be aware of what is happening in the raid – Know fights to be able to predict adds spawning or have a CD ready for a large incoming ability.
-3 : know where each member of the raid is as well as positioning for bosses (eg : hagara shattered ice has ± 180 degree “front” - position her so that a predetermined soaker is the only other target available for her to cast on instead of healer or clothie)

What is your Spell Rotation ?
Single target:
1. Mangle (for bleed debuff)
2. lacerate (1 stack)
3. thrash
4. lacerate (2 stack)
5. lacerate (3 stack)
6. Pulverize
- FFF used off CD and Maul if rage not an issue

AOE:
1. thrash
2. swipe
3. mangle
4. Lacerate

General Information

Age: 31

Country: UK

Why did you choose to apply to this guild in particular?
Because of both the social aspect as well as the ability to raid – not only that but the times suit me well if I were to be accepted

Players you know / How did you come across us?
Came across you through the wowprogress.com website when I did an advanced search on feral tank options.

Alts and Level (if any):
Ninlin : 85 Tauren Druid healer/moonkin – on SSL but am happy to move if needed
rafe : 85 worgen unholy DK – also on SSL
Adoqhina :85 worgen arcane mage – on twisting nether

Are you or any of your alts currently guilded?:
they all are guilded but if needed I can move them over to kazzak

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)?:
(Members are required to be available for raiding at least 3/5 nights week with higher attendance prefered.) Raid days are Sun-Thur, 2000-2330 server time we do occasionaly stay later if we are close to a kill. Fri & Sat are off nights but if people are online we try to do alt runs or RBG's.
I can raid from Sun to Thursday – the only day that could be difficult are Thursdays since 2 weeks a month I have to work late and this means I will only be able to log on from 20:30 server time on those days. Aside from that I can log on every day by 18:30 unless something drastic comes up – but I would inform ahead of time

Previous online gaming experience (if any):
I have played a number of other MMO's – Star wars was the last and I am in a couple of BETA's. Most of those are only casual as WoW is the main MMO I have played and stuck with

Anything else you'd like to include about yourself:
Not much – just would like to thank whoever reads this thread Smile
