I like the app, and Wrath had good things to say about you. Given a choice, I take it you'd rather play Enhancement? Melee has a tougher go in a lot of the T11 fights, so I try to slot only 2 per raid if possible. But, we also currently have an Elemental shaman and we just went from 3 melee to 2 (rogue/dk) so an enhancement could fit in nicely. I'll leave it up to you.

FYI, we may be switching Thursday nights to Sunday nights in the near future (people's social lives picking up as the weather gets nicer, those noobs!), would that affect your availability?

Missing a few enchants, I'd expect you to get at least the 346 pieces enchanted for raids. Our general policy is pretty flexible; if you don't want to spend thousands of gold getting the best enchant on a non-bis item that's fine, just make sure you put something on it. On tier gear and bis items you should (eventually) get the best enchants; right now we're still gearing up so not much gets sharded, but eventually the guild will be helping out with maelstrom crystals.

Hit me up on Sobieyet/Stunbolt or one of the random Sobes and I'll run a heroic with you. Provided everything goes well, I can give you an invite and you can come along with us on Tuesday.

Strength offhand? The justice vendor has a one-handed axe that's relatively cheap. Although it may be a fast, in which case nevermind!

Had a good feeling about him right off the bat, probably because he used proper grammar and punctuation while we were talking. Has seemed like a nice guy and thoughtful in the times I've talked with him. Plus, he had me at "my spec had the highest simmed dps". As enhance, was doing ~16k single target on bosses in SFK, which I thought was pretty good.

The off-hand is STR, so I'm sure an AGIL one would be better, but that swing speed is pretty tasty.

Something I do feel I should mention, enhance shaman buffs have kind of been spread around...your DK or a warrior can provide the str/agi buff; if your DK is frost, he can provide the same melee haste buff through Improved Icy Talons as I can with my Windfury totem. DKs and shaman also shared the 10% attack power increase presence, I know we still have it, I'm not sure about DKs, but I know they don't stack. And with an elemental shaman able to provide the other buffs and Lust, there's not a very strong case to be made for an enhancement shaman in your setup. Sadly.

We manage to get most of the major buffs most raids, just a matter of from whom. Think the only ones we consistently miss are 3% damage (ret paladin et al.), 5% magic crit debuff (mage et al.), and AI. Usually plenty of sources of Agi, Daloc's Ele shaman provides 5% crit, and I give Windfury or 10% AP depending on which spec I'm playing (I'm usually SV for fights with adds, MM for single target).

I suppose the ideal comp would include a ret (or feral druid, usually don't get sunder or the bleed debuff - most fights I use the ravager pet for 4% physical damage debuff) or a mage, but tbh I don't worry about it that much. We're not trying to bull-rush Sinestra here; I've played in bleeding edge guilds (5 rogues for Freya, lolwut) and hold no misconceptions about where we stand. Heresiarch raids aren't meant to be a life-consuming project nitpicking all the little details (well except for me, but I got stuck with this job) and with the limited raiding population on Drenden Horde I try to be pragmatic. If you can stay out of fire, put out some decent numbers, and show up consistently, I'll find a slot for you to play whatever you want.
