Patch 3.3, Icecrown and ASGA raiding

Cotoo group got first 2 down and had a quick look at gunship battle.

Trying not to post any spoilers, all i'll say is that CC matters!
As melee dps, i didn't find it significantly harder than any other instance - from what i saw the healers and tanks were getting a bit more of a workout though

Very fun though, and i'm halfway to friendly with them already.

Quick note on the gating - Blues have confirmed that the "28 days" for Wing 2 is longer than the rest, because we've got a holiday in the middle of it.

Not so much a spoiler, more warnings.

There's a scripted scene after you beat Deathbringer Saurfang. Needs some warnings.

1) Get comfortable, it takes a while
2) It's going to get old fast. AWESOME the first time but every clear? Gonna drag
3) For those who dislike unexpected plot twists: Varian does something other than "act like a mindless muppet". Bit of much-needed fleshing out of his character.

Also, this is cooler than the Wrathgate cinematic as it's ingame scripting (a la the Thrall/Garrosh Nagrand event) and so doesn't crash my client. I approve of not crashing my game
