No, the rogue hasn't been my main for quite some time. He was my first character, and since he's alliance, doesn't get much play anymore. This was on my main for some time now, my priest. The group was me, 2 rogues, a warrior, and a mage. One of the rogues (my writing partner actually, Drew) had already completed it once, so he had the upgraded .5, but the rest of us had nothing better than that.
I've seen a few differing pull strategies. The direction we went was Baroness -> Spider -> Maleki, skipping all the obvious groups. This map: http://www.wowwiki.com/images/5/5a/Baron45.jpg I've seen a lot of people suggest the priest pull, but we were using the warrior; he'd pull the next mob/group when the one we were working on was at about 25%. No, we did not use the wipe/run method. I'd say there was some luck involved; the gargoyles were very well behaved, and the Baroness only MCed twice, and when she did, it was us squishies, so it didn't last very long.
Most of the other times we tried it, we had all sorts of potions and flasks (I can make the Flask of the Titans, so I made for the tank when I could), but this was an impromptu attempt, and we had very little. Certainly no flasks. I had a stack of major mana and healing, but I only ended up needing to use one of the mana. Lots of bandaging, of course. I think we've just gotten used to working as a team, and had everything fall into place on this particular run.
Congrats on the Benediction! Oh man, do I want that! Congrats also on Lucifron. We're still only on ZG as a guild.

Love that userpic, by the way. Zesty!
