Just to let you all know, while I am sad to see me doing this, I find that I rarely ever use my Holy spec anymore. The guild that I run with ((and more specifically the 10-man group I go with)) has two druid healers who come along, and they both can handle the raid heals quite well. Because of that, I have made Discipline my main spec with Shadow as my off.
Now, I haven’t played in Shadow since I first hit lvl 80 and got myself duel spec, so I will need to get back into playing it ((as well as start to gear it up some)). I can say with the ease it is of getting Triumph now in the game, I already have the 5 tier sets for my shadow set, just need to gem them and get some trinkets / rings that are more tattered to DPS rather then heals.
I’m not sure if I will be keeping the shadow though; even if I decide not too, Disc will become my main focus with the other ((shadow or holy)) becoming my off.
I think this is a good move for me, and I will need to start practice in using more shields and less renews. That is where I am having the most trouble right now.
And in other news, with the release of 3.3, I've decided to spend more time working on the Loremaster achievement ((at least the ones for Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor)). I know that the next expansion isn't due for a while now, but I want to try and get as many of the Vanilla achievements as possible before then. Who knows what will happen when Cataclysm does come out.
As of right now, I am just a few hundred away from having the Kalimdor achievement, and around 150-ish for the Eastern Kingdoms one. I'm not worried with the Outlands / Northrend ones since Cataclysm isn't suppose to mess with them that much. But once I do get the Old World ones, then I will start on Outlands then move to Northrend.
As for gear, the only new gear I got myself was a new belt: Braid of Salt and Fire from Ick in The Pit of Saron.
I still have not completed Halls of Reflection on Heroic yet. I did it on normal for the quest line, but I want to get though it on heroic to see what drops are there. The group that we normally go there with are having some trouble just dealing with all the mobs that are ranged. We are trying various theories and trials to see which works best with us. So far, we did the best while staying in the middle of the room, but once one of the casters ((mainly the mage)) focus' on me, then we tend to wipe, so we are working on ways to deal with that.

Paladin Power FTW!
I know, I know, I haven't posted in like the past two weeks or so. Things have been quite hectic here with work and the holidays ((woo! Christmas is upon us!)), and truthfully, not that much is happening in the game right now.
There are a few things of note to mention though:
1) Our guild can now almost one-shot all of Trial of the Crusader (10-man). We are still having problems with people not understanding when to swap vortexes in the Twins fight, and we are trying various styles of doing the last boss to see which works best with us.
2) We can one-shot the first 6 bosses in Ulduar (10-man) now; still having some problems with Freya and Thorim though. Just can't get the coordination together for some reason.
3) I've been leveling my paladin like a mad woman. XD
Yep, #3 is right, I've been working on leveling my paladin the past week or so. I can say that she is extremely easy to level; I basically don't have to stop for any reason, just swap between two judgments depending on if I need more mana or more HP at the current time. And the two heirlooms I gave her help with the leveling of gaining 20% more XP.
I am running some instances and various other things with Liénda though in order to get myself the 2-handed Axe Heirloom for her so that she can start leveling with that instead of the 1-handed sword +shield combo she has right now. I'm sure that will help some with the DPS and going faster.
One of the good things about leveling another toon right now is that she is finding many things that Liénda never found; such as enchanting & cooking recipes, various blue items that sell well on the AH ((thanks Lilléo for dealing with that)) and tons upon tons of random green trash that Liénda is DEing into dusts / shards / essence that sell well on the AH.
The only thing I haven't gotten use to yet is all the buffs ((seals / auras / blessings / etc)) that the pallies use. I'm having trouble just managing them all and knowing what's on at what time. :3 I'm sure I can figure it out eventually, but just haven't found the way for me that works.
Plus, I can't figure out how to use Pallypower ((the add-on)). I will just need to play with it more and figure it out, but for now, I am just going to ignore it and deal with other things that are on my mind. Like where to go now. :3 Just finished with most of the Wetland quests, now looking into moving north with her.
Fun times, fun times.
