Nostalgia time! This old song by Myndflame, featured at the end of Illegal Danish: Super Snacks, brings back all kinds of memories -- horrifying memories of eternal frustration with having to summon roughly 34 people to Molten Core because they were too lazy to get there on their own. Really, guys? Really? You know the locks have to burn a shard for each of your lazy butts, right?
Speaking of raiding, let's take a peek at some posts from around the blogosphere on that topic, shall we?

Priest with a Cause totally nails it as far as the story in the RF version of Dragon Soul goes.
I like that Blizzard wants to do something besides 'Here's a big guy with shinies. Go kill', but the storytelling is so choppy in the RF version that it doesn't feel at all epic. And even worse, because I've already done it in RF, I've a real feeling I'll be completely underwhelmed when my raid group actually downs Deathwing. For that matter, as someone who loves the story in WoW, I already feel like the expansion's over and I'm not terribly motivated to log on even for a raid night.
Also, and this may just be me, but I feel like the RF bosses have too much health. Blizzard balanced them to be very easy, but by taking out most of the challenge of the fights, you're left pounding on a big guy for way too long. Zonn'ozz and Yor'sahj especially feel like fights that are basically cruise control on RF, but that last twice as long as they should.
If the fight mechanic is tuned such that it doesn't really matter much, don't make us repeat it twelve times before killing him.
