Raiding!
We've been hacking away at the Stone Guard for a while, killing them the first time two lockouts ago, and again last night (this time with chains up!). Feng will fall soon - probably this week or next.
I've been raiding as Beast Mastery since 5.0 went in, but with 5.1's last minute buff to Aspect of the Hawk and the change to allow Steady and Cobra Shots to be cast on the run, I went back to Marksman last night. The change is good! I'm posting decent numbers (for me) and finally not feeling like a deadweight.
I'm switching back and forth between Spirit Bond and Iron Hawk for soloing/raiding, as well as between Barrage and Glaive Toss. I shouldn't love Barrage as much as I do, given how much it tries to get me killed, but let's face it: 40 yard range, hits everything in front of me? It just makes some of the dailies go so much faster. On the other hand, I don't dare bring it into an instance, because I don't know what it's going to pull. (Also, randomly accidentally killing critters that may or may not be capturable battle pets... ;_;)
I'm not sure if I'm going to push to finish reputations first, to hit 150 mounts, or if I'm going to hit up the old raids for the battle pets contained therein, but so far 5.1 has been good for me.
PS: cloth heirloom panda is creepy:
Those eyes!

ALL NEW BETA ADVENTURES
So @vitaemachina mentioned this afternoon that he had a beta invite as of... sometime today, so I logged into my account again to see, and... BETA! My husband got in, too, although he's not as likely to play around with the beta as much.
Step one: Copy over Duskhawk and Elsabeth.
Step two: Realize I forgot to loot the guild bank before copying them. (I keep all my cash on my bank toon.)
Step three: Loot the guild bank, give cash to husband, who then copies over his main.
Step four: Refund guild bank. *sigh* It's not like anyone has posted Poseidus recently.
So I logged into Dusk, gave the talents a glance and tweaked the video settings (windowed/full screen), logged in Elsa just to get the name change done, then made me a Pandaren monk.
Client then promptly crashed out, so I restarted the download, and I'll just let it download in the background while we're raiding. Ahem.
One of the things I want to see in the beta, as it progresses, aside from reporting bugs and testing stuff, is to see if I like the monk enough to make it my 11th slot. I lean heavily towards ranged, be it with weapons or spells, and if I don't like the monk enough on the beta to level through on live, I'll make a Pandaren something-else. We'll see if I like their casting animations or their shooting animations before I decide what the something else is.
