Luke's first ICC raiding on Rotface

I went with Knights of the Dawn for my first ICC raid run. They have done the bosses before Rotface so today we focused on killing him. It was not a difficult fight, but we failed several times and wiped. They will be trying tomorrow again. I think if I have time I will go again, but I am not sure whether I will have time or not.
The boss spray slimes around the room, so standing underneath him is a good idea, you can also run pretty fast behind him if he turns and spew on you. If you get a mutated disease you need to run toward the off-tank and be healed by your healer. That's where everybody gets tripped up because it's difficult to get heals and run at the same time. Then people are standing in the green flood and that means death, too.
It's not a hard raid, and we have more than enough DPS to down the boss, it's a burning/survival race with the boss. We need more practice, and I am sure that we can do it soon.
I've changed my gear to the Hit chest, got fish feasts from the AH (by buying the fish, no time to fish today). I have also bought battle Elixir for the occasion, just to give myself that much more spell power. We did pretty well in the last run, but still wiped.
I've started Redcurry and Bubbleleia. Redcurry is a dwarf hunter, she's around level 10 to level 20 at the moment. Bubbleleia is just starting out around Ironforge, she is about level 3. I plan to fill up my slots slowly so I can enjoy leveling a bit. It will be interesting to see how I go in cataclysm.
I have been ganked a few times around the grounds below Dalaran. I need to investigate how hunters pull people off their flying mount, it's very annoying.
Everything is going well, I have made a new friend on Bonechewer. It's frustrating that we can't do VoA very much since we've been losing WG for a long time.
