Previous Guild(s) and reason for leaving: I was raiding with Hexed in BC til right around 3.0 when I got a job which caused scheduling conflicts. I was a non-raider in their ranks until I got kicked for no reason. I joined Reckoning when Strawberry did, again as a non raider. I got kicked because the officers didn't really like me and pissing Laes off gave them an excuse to get rid of me.
Reason for your interest in Rififi: 'Fifi da bomb, yo! I'd like to start actively raiding again after my hiatus and would like a guild with a fun atmosphere that is still capable of getting shit done. Rififi's ability to progress at the rate they have and still be a fun (or so I've heard) guild is quite impressive.
1) Discuss the effort you've made in aquiring reputation with factions in Wrath of the Lich King, including the Sons of Hodir.
I have all my LK factions at exalted except for Oracles and Sons of Hodir. I had ignored Hodir early on in LK and only started doing their dailies on and off fairly recently. Can easily hit exalted within a couple days of dailies, which I should be doing anyways.
2) What is your raid experience during the current patch? Please be as detailed as possible. If you haven't raided something, I want to know why.
Due to my not being an active raider with a guild for several months now, my LK raid experience is rather limited. I've cleared Naxx, Maly and OS+1 25 man, and Naxx, Maly, OS, FL1, Ignis and Razor on 10 man. PuGs don't do well on Sarth with drakes, did Uld with Reckoning alts, and FL1 with Silv.
3) Are you willing to respec to better suit the guild's needs if asked for a specific purpose/raid composition/etc.? (Sometimes this would include us feeling like your spec isn't as conducive to optimal DPS as it could be, so we can and will suggest tweaks.)
I have no issues respec'ing/reglyphing/regemming/etc to better suit the raid's needs. What's a little gold for a guild's progress?
4) Detail the roughest encounter you have experienced in the current patch and how you handled it? Being guilded with Laes. I cried. Unfortunately the roughest raid encounter I've done is only FL1 10 man. Took us a few tries, but with slight readjustments and persistence we got the job done. Just stay focused and don't get discouraged.
5) What glyphs are you currently using and why?
Holy
PoH - It was either PoH or CoH in this slot, I chose PoH due to the greater healing output, especially with Serendipity
Renew - To maximize the HPS of Renew.
FH - I use Flash Heal a lot both when tank and raid healing, reduced cost helps with longevity.
Discipline
PoH - To maximize what little efficiency disc has at group healing, could be switched for Renew depending on situation, though I rarely use Renew as disc.
FH - Main spell when Penance is on cooldown, same reasoning as holy.
Penance - With Penance being disc's main spell, the extra cooldown reduction is a no brainer.
Shadow
Sw:P - With Sw:P always being up, it's a constant 10% increase to MF damage.
Shadow - Pretty much a constant spell power increase.
MF - Would use over Sw:D in a raiding situation for the most part. Using Sw:D is not a DPS increase, and the extra range on MF helps keep you away from the bad guys. Can also un-glyph it when the slow is needed.
6) What is your typical DPS rotation? VT > MB > MF for 5 stacks of shadow weaving, DP > SWP > MB > keep up VT and DP, MB on cooldown and MF in between.
Furthermore, F Laes.
