Previous Raiding Experience, please be very detailed:
Started raiding in Kara on my pally, was a nub and thought could tank in resilence. Learned about defense, learned that defense rating and defense points were different, exposure to itemization.
<LK RELEASE>
Decided that I wanted to level up ASAP to get in a raid guild. I was on my mage doing 3ish K dps. Went into Naxx with a guild, but when the guild wouldnt leave naxx for ulduar I left the guild. Pugged uld, os, voa, eoe, toc, icc. Cleared maybe 75% of all bosses combined. Joined a raiding guild (by then I was healing on my pally with my gf tanking, she had been on her tank the whole xpac.) cleared icc 11/12, then guild downed lk without us but we continued on hard mode, I believe we cleared 6 bosses on H 10man, also 11/12 on 25man. The guild previously was a 25man but it downsized to 10m.
Went on a 8 month hiatus.
<Cata Release>
<around march>
joined wow again. Healed my ass off thru lvl 85, got in all 353's then started looking for a guild. Joined several ones before did a full clear of bwd, bot, tot4w, fl, and DS (7/8 currently) (always pug BH.) no hard modes yet in cata. Guild had me xfer to a DK as their DK had realm xferred to a 25man hardcore guild somewhere. They said I filled his shoes perfectly.
Previous Guilds (why did you leave?):
Dozens of guilds before ICC. Vent, not progressing, too immature, misc reasons.
ICC I joined Defiançe. Did hardmode icc with them. Quit because school started, GM was loot QQ'ing, and stress in the guild.
After the hiatus, I joined To Death Or Glory. AKA Your typicial massive general guild, I think I joined just for the lvl 25 perk. Then my friend found TheBlackCompany, ranked around 30 raid guild. Joined them, persuaded them a spot for myself, continued with them from june til today. Officiers had tension, but they nerdraged so it's smooth now. I'm the only officier here with the GM right now. GM did some unfair business, lost respect for him, if he continues I might migrate again. A deaf guild seems awesome, i'll never hear BS about vent again.
Do you know any current UT members that would vouch for you?:
Diaz bros? They know me, but they cant really vouch for me. I also know Jack, Austin, Tyler, maybe even more.
Availability (7:30 to 10:30 pm server time. Tues/Thurs), can you make all of these days and times?
EST? Yes PST? No.
Post a speed test with www.speedtest.net/ . Use the Los Angeles data center and use the forum URL options available on the test site to post your results. The results should look like this.

Why Unrivaled Titans?:
Never hear about vent shit, DEAFIES, and nice progression standing. A lot of opportunies after talking with tristan.
If you arena what is your average arena rating?
N/A
How do you prepare for a new encounter? What online resources do you use besides Tankspot to prep yourself for raid night?
Wowhead, L2Raid, FatBoss, Icyveins, in-game dungeon journal. Be sure i'm stocked on pots and flasks, food buff, etc. be sure everything is optimized and that my offspec is good to go.
Link your most recent logs showing your DPS/HPS on a few fights?
worldoflogs.com/reports/i8nyfqxhonf1pao6/sum/damageDone/
What mods do you use? Why do you use these mods?
Iit (to help encourage interupt competitions, better interuptting.
Npcscan I enjoy killing rares
altoholic saves a bit of time
atlasloot informational purposes
autoprofitlite quality of life, auto sell junk.
Autorepair quality of life, easy quick repair.
Bagnon organizes bags better
bartender helps my button be more centralized, bigger buttons to monitor cds, useful.
Chatter quality of life
obituary helps determine how people died.
Omen threat monitoring
postal saves time on opening mail and such, QoL
recount analyze the raid's performance
timetodie testing this out, thought it was cool.
Tiptac organizes status boxes
quartz helps clarify the casting bar
decursive helps cleanse
xperl UI. Combined with mouseover = healing win.
CTViewport Gives more room for addons, makes the wow screen unobstructed.
What do you do to prevent yourself from dying to mechanics like Void Zones, Brain Links, or Legion Flame? And take this question very seriously. "LOL I DUNNO I MOVE OUT OF THEM" is not an answer.
LOL I DUNNO< MOVE OUTTA THEM? EHH UM SORREH.
I basically memorize the fight, so that I have the inner timing of what should be happening, what to expect, DBM helps with the raid warnings, I often have macro myself in /s to help remind others to stay out of shit... I have the intuition of when a corruption will fiery grip so I can run towards it and arrive just before it starts casting for example. I develop a habit and when I find one that wins, I stick to it and evaluate it each time to see if there's any way of improving.
Post a picture of your UI (even better, post a pic of your UI with recount showing your DPS/Heal meter). Give us a brief explanation of your UI, do you set up your UI so that it makes it easier for you to notice encounter debuffs, or void zones, or fire?
My DK doesnt really have the need for many addons, the default UI suffices.
on my pally I have the UI, Chat, and cast bar centralized, I also use CTViewport to clear up my playing screen. There's no addons directly on the screen... they're “offscreen”. With a naked screen I can notice anything easily.
FUUUUUUUUUU i cant find the video of me singlehealing saurfang 10m in ICC. it was awesome and fun! oh well.
