Questing in Hyjal just after installing. I took some time to explore new stormwind, put my talents in order, etc.. then went looking for the new quest to go to the new areas. Kept waiting for that boat to Vash'jir (didn't realize it literally took FORDAMNEVER) and gave up and took the portal to Hyjal. One of those first few quest where you need to kill those cultist folk. The respawn rate was crazy! My 80 NE druid, in mostly crafted purples, was doing fine 1 on 1, maaybe surivived a mob of 2-3, with some self healing involved. However, when it got to the point that the last of the mob went down there was a respawn right on top of it giving me little time to recover. First time it happened, I died. I died a few times there just trying to handle the respawns. It happened when I finally figured out how to get to Vash'jir, but by then I'd gained a level and a bit of a routine in trying to be prepared.

Side note - have yet to stand in the fire. Deathwing is apparently avoiding me. I've been doing archeololgy stuffs in lots of the old world areas since the beginning of the expansion and I haven't run into him.
