Another Naxx-10 clear

In spite of Dethno being called away to work and the subsequent reliance on an undergeared scrubby tank (yours truly) we rolled the rest of the way through Naxx-10 (thanks to Sirtank for respeccing and running as OT instead of mega dps) and then knocked off Sartharian for a bonus.

The run left me feeling conflicted about scheduling since it seems like we can count on a full Naxx-10 clear with 2 raid nights and there is a lot of gear people still need from there. I'd been feeling sympathetic towards suggestions that we do an extra Heroic raid night to finish Heroic Naxx, but it'd basically mean skipping Naxx-10 that week unless we ended up running 5 raid nights.

So I think it's still loot-optimal to do 2 & 2 and just take it as far as we can in Heroic Naxx tonight and Wednesday. OTOH, if we are close to having 4 wings clear tonight, it's going to be very tempting to try to finish it and maybe just have the 10-person groups do Sarth and/or wipe on Malygos for one night.

I guess we'll see how it goes tonight. If it's slow (or tiring), then we'll take anothe week to gear up further in 10s. If it looks promising, maybe we'll take a crack at pushing through. There's a part of me that thinks it might be fun to go all-25 all the time and work on Malygos, Sartharian with Drakes up and/or the harder achievements in Naxx. But as a guy who's still wearing a couple of blue and one level 70 (T6 gloves) tanking piece, maybe there's something to be said for a little more non-heroic raid gear farming before we go entirely about progression.
