Time Zone:
EST
Previous Guilds:
Nemesis and Backroom
Previous Raiding Experience:
10/12 ICC 10 and a weird ICC 25 progression. Also fully cleared TOC 10 and 25

I'll take a shot at this one.
Shreken, lets take a look at your app:

Your response isn’t really an answer to the question that was proposed. For example, looking up your Armory profile on my phone, I noticed you are Dual Spec, in Fury/Prot respectively but your app does not indicate to which is your primary spec or what you personally enjoy playing. I assume, though cannot be 100% certain, that you are applying to Heresiarch as a Fury warrior and have a few questions about your choices in talents.
In your 18/53/0 build:
-I see you have four points in Commanding Presence, I'm curious of three things. Firstly, why did you opt to not max it out at 5/5 and drop heroic fury? Secondly-why did you choose to spec into Commanding Presence vs. Unbridled Wrath? Thirdly, why did you choose Booming Voice over 2/5 Unbridled Wrath in yoru current build?
Gear Review: It appears that you are 1 point shy of the expertise cap, though this could be an error viewing your profile via the phone app. I'd swap out a gem or two and get some more of the socket bonus's as well as hitting the expertise cap. I'm curious why you chose to go with the Malevolent Girdle vs. the Vengeful Noose. I don't have my spreadsheet handy so I cannot say or not if your at the point where ArPn would be more of a SEP increase than pure STR-your probably close.
Glyphs: Major Glyphs are fine, though I would have chosen to go with Glyph of Cleaving over Execution. Also, I'm curious to why you Glyph'd Enduring Victory over Commanding since your spec'd into Commanding Presence.
Why are you applying to us:
MY guild just disbanded so it’s time to find another one, and this one is one of the best.
Your answer really needs more feeling and a little bit more Cowbell. Tell us about yourself, why you want to join "One of the Best"-do you want to become a better player, see the end content, brag to your digital gf/bf about the cool purple epix? In this case-more is better when it comes to an answer.

This does not tell me very much about who you are, your personality, it gives me very little to go on except that you have a strong disdain of pugs and you want to progress in WoW. But it doesn’t tell me too much to who you are....What do you enjoy doing? Do you like eating cats or dogs, are you a North or South kind of person, Mad Scientist or Gunslinger? How do you feel about classic cinema and Kung Fu flicks?

This kind of reponse to an app is a bad sign btw. More than likely people looked at the app, judged that the bare minimum of effort was put into it, and they're putting exactly that muc effort into their responses.
If you want at least a chance of getting in, I'd suggest taking another shot at your app.

Well first of all, why are we still letting people app without WoL? Especially DPS classes. Just make it a requirement, not that hard to get one, and I'm tired of yelling at shitty players who can't even pull 8k with a 20% buff.
Things I like:
Things I like:
- Put the effort into making Shadow's Edge, and crafted legs/boots.
- Glyph of Execution
- Wrong badge belt

- Using NES while at 1311 ArP

Savros and Sobe; the Good Cop/Bad Cop of applications.
All of Sobies points are valid. I just skimmed over the app while I shook my head. I mean it looks like he spent about less than 5 min on it. What does that say to his level of dedication? Not much imo.

I assume, though cannot be 100% certain, that you are applying to Heresiarch as a Fury warrior and have a few questions about your choices in talents.
Yes Fury is my main spec. I enjoy it much more then both Prot and Arms. Prot is fun at times but just enjoy fury so much more and do much more DPS have more fun in Fury as opposed to Arms. Though haven't really tanked much so might like it better with more experience I guess I will see in time.
In your 18/53/0 build:
-I see you have four points in Commanding Presence, I'm curious of three things. Firstly, why did you opt to not max it out at 5/5 and drop heroic fury? Secondly-why did you choose to spec into Commanding Presence vs. Unbridled Wrath? Thirdly, why did you choose Booming Voice over 2/5 Unbridled Wrath in yoru current build?
Heroic Fury is more beneficial then the 5th point in commanding presence, the small add to the buff doesn't give me as much damage as the increase I get from heroic fury letting me move around faster on several bosses that require me too. Went with Commanding Presence over Unbridled wrath because the extra rage generation is unnecessary, In raids I'm never rage starved even with heroic strikes the entire time.
Gear Review: It appears that you are 1 point shy of the expertise cap, though this could be an error viewing your profile via the phone app. I'd swap out a gem or two and get some more of the socket bonus's as well as hitting the expertise cap. I'm curious why you chose to go with the Malevolent Girdle vs. the Vengeful Noose. I don't have my spreadsheet handy so I cannot say or not if your at the point where ArPn would be more of a SEP increase than pure STR-your probably close.
That was a mistake on my part should have gotten the Vengeful Noose, that would prob put me close to the Arm Pen cap going to correct it either tomorrow or the day after depending on which day I do my ICC 10 this week I'm a few badges short. Though I'll have to re gem for some more hit I should still get some arm pen out of it.
Glyphs: Major Glyphs are fine, though I would have chosen to go with Glyph of Cleaving over Execution. Also, I'm curious to why you Glyph'd Enduring Victory over Commanding since your spec'd into Commanding Presence.
Went with the Glyph of Execution because use Execute a lot more then Cleave on ICC bosses and that's my main focus. Very few where I use cleave whereas every boss I use execute. As far as enduring victory over commanding shout glyph, My old ICC raid group we had a Prot Warrior who used his commanding shout so never needed it so I went with the enduring victory because seemed more useful on some fights.

Sorry didn't realize you put so much importance on these type of questions or I would have fleshed it out a bit. I am looking for a guild where I can see the end content, have more consistent raids. Having to pug most of the time I have been playing, it has been awful between the inconsistent times and awful people I've raided with a lot of the time just feels like a waste of time. Looking to do raids where people don't leave after the 1st wing, don't randomly stand in fire, mainly just people who actually know how to play. Mainly looking to have fun while actually making progress. Very frustrating to do the same things over and over again without any progression. Hope that better answers your question.

How do you feel about classic cinema and Kung Fu flicks?
I enjoy playing video games of all sorts pretty much though mostly WOW and platforming games with some RPGs mixed in, played a lot of Diablo 2 and got into WOW because my brother played it and liked it so I figured I'd give it a shot and have enjoyed it since. Love watching movies, especially Comedys and action movies. I don't enjoy eating cats or dogs lol, prob South type of person, I'd say a mix of Mad Scientist and Gunslinger lol. Haven't watched much classic cinema though didn't real like what I have seen and do enjoy Kung Fu flicks.
Things I don't like:
* Glyph of Execution- explained in the post above
* Wrong badge belt-ya my mistake should correct tonight or tomorrow
* Spending badges on belt/gloves before 4-piece- T10 4 piece bonus sux, hardly ever procs. both the gloves and legs I have a better then the T10 pieces until I'm arm pen capped then I will switch in the T10 legs
* Using NES while at 1311 ArP- Just recently got Shadow's edge and the legplates, was waiting until i did my iccs for the week before i replaced. Going to switch it out for Banner of Victory until I can get WFS or DBW.

That means you're not mashing HS enough. You shouldn't be rage capped in your gear yet.

If you had a prot warrior using commanding shout, why'd you put the points into commanding presence at all? You ran with 0 rets?

ICC bosses where you use cleave:
Marrowgar
Deathwhisper
Gunship
Rotface (25H)
Putricide (25H)
Dreamwalker
Sindragosa (25H)
Lich King
That's 8/12 bosses in ICC where you have an opportunity to cleave. And execute is such a small percentage of your damage that at ANY point you get to cleave the extra target blows the glyph out of the water.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry I'm not sure what this is nor how to get one. Though if you were to tell me where to and how I would be more then happy to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look it up. If you've never heard of it, chances are you've never really looked over your game in-depth.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T10 4 piece bonus sux, hardly ever procs. both the gloves and legs I have a better then the T10 pieces until I'm arm pen capped then I will switch in the T10 legs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spreadsheet and simulator have you getting over 300 DPS from replacing your gloves with tier (and the tier gloves are horrible). Have you actually done any kind of testing with the bonus? It seems like you're talking out of your ass.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Using NES while at 1311 ArP- Just recently got Shadow's edge and the legplates, was waiting until i did my iccs for the week before i replaced. Going to switch it out for Banner of Victory until I can get WFS or DBW.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Banner is better than NES period. With that much ArP even Mirror of Truth is a 50 DPS upgrade over NES.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feel free to re-apply with thought if you want in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And a log of you pulling 11-12k DPS on a single-target tank-and-spank.
