Big bugger, ain't he? There's a picture of me tanking Prince for the first time. Well, technically the third time (The first time I accidently pulled him before we were ready, second time I got an infernal dropped a bit too close). Now that was a scary fight, especially in stage 2. My health was going up and down like a kangaroo in the mating season. It was scarier than when I heal it. Not to mention that I nearly wet myself when we misdirect-pulled him and I saw him thundering towards me. EEK.
I found Shade of Aran a lot harder to tank than to heal. I couldn't see what was going on nearly as much as when I'm bouncing around the edge like a deranged chipmunk on the Shade Carousel. Like the magnetic pull thing he does, the last time he did it I didn't even notice, I was too busy watching my cooldowns. Getting thrown up in the air was kinda fun, though. Thank goodness for a recently popped shield wall.
I did some exploring in Karazhan yesterday too. I'd never been up the stairs behind Attumen before. It's an alternate route to Moroes, but I don't think it would be worth it unless you were going in just to go to him and no further, because you'd still have to clear all the stuff between him and Opera/Maiden.
I did find some cool stuff back there though, like a locked door marked "Sergeant's Quarters" and a Sergeant-At-Arms Bennett (For anyone who doesn't know, Bennett is my RL surname).
I love running around Kara when it's cleared. If you've not tried it, you should. Once you get past the library it can be a pain, because Illhoof and Netherspite's stuff respawns if you don't clear them. Even just looking at the architecture between the front door and the library is worth it, though. It's amazingly well designed.
