Make sure everyone stands behind him before he engages. Have quick Priests who shackle. Prioritize banshees over aboms." So far so good, we have an insanely good prot pally. Rage was a first try one shot. trash was a non issue to Anetheron too, But we needed to get more organized for the infernals. Thanks for the tip, Sunday is first full raid night in hyjal/BT. =) @ matt “Use a prot pally for trash.

The person making the mistake vents a little bit to their friend talking to them, gets over it; then makes a determined effort to improve. Power figures doing the informing can work, but its generally not a good idea and is the best way to cause drama. The only time a power figure should step into something like this, is if the person is repeatedly making the same mistake after having been consulted by a closer colleague; thats when power figures should enforce discipline.
