Real (First) Name: Jonathan
Age: 19
Character Name: Oh
Character Class: Priest
Character Level: 80
Character Spec : Shadow/Disc - can go holy
*Haven't been holy since the beginning of t8 content. Since most priest healers are holy and the fact that I think every raid should have one disc priest and disc is much better imo in heroics, I chose disc as my healing offspec.

Describe your previous raid experience:
Kara/Gruul/Mag, Naxx 10/25, Uld10/25, ToC10/ToGC10(first 2 bosses), ICC10
Tell us about the role of your class in raiding and how your spec helps you accomplish this. Include in this discussion the consumables that you would normally farm and have for every raid. Additionally, if you use alternate gear in some situations, explain that briefly for us (e.g. “I use 3-piece trans on endurance fights”):
Each priest spec has their own little niche in a raid, that said, all priests have hymns that can save the raid from wiping by restoring mana or by adding a little bit more healing.
The consumble for all three specs is flask of frostwyrm (+125 sp)
Shadow: Unfortunately, shadow priest dps isn't as competitive as I think it should be. All things equal they are probably at the lower end of the damage meters. Basically my job is to provide replenishment, do a little bit of healing and give casters a 3% increase in spell hit. That said shadow priest are one of the more resilient dps characters with the shields, damage reduction and self healing, healers will normally have one less damage dealer to heal when a shadow priest is in the raid.
My main difference in gear for shadow is a trinket change from the illustration of the dragon soul (+200 sp stacking - when I am unable to focus on a single target) to the nevermelting icecrystal (+111 sp/clicky crit chance - popping the trinket right before the first sw: p allows the extra crit to be carried through the entire fight as long as sw: p is never casted again aka a fight where the focus is one boss)
Discipline: A more quirky healing spec that focuses more on preventative damage rather than reactive healing. It's more towards a tank healer though it can be a fine raid healer if needed. Basically the disc priest's job is to throw up shields and heal. The shields give the raid some virtual hp so they can survive when the hits become bigger than their health pool. The shields obviously go onto the tanks but mages with the incanters talent and the raid when a boss aoe comes up are where shields also shine.
Again a trinket change between the eye of the broodmother (87 crit +125 sp stacking) and the tears of the vanquished (84int proc +500 mana) depending on if i need mana or not.
Holy: Holy priests are raid healers, healing tanks is just a waste of a holy priest. With pom, coh, and poh all providing multiple heals they obviously are raid healers. Basically holy priests excell at healing multiple players at once, during aoe that damages the entire raid, they can quickly heal the dps in very few gcds.
Since blizz only allows two specs, my holy spec will look like
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#bVcbuZrEzcbMqihGckAo:m0N (if no disc priest in raid) and my trinkets would probably be the eye of the broodmother (+87crit/125sp stacking) and illustration of the dragon soul (+200sp stacking)
What don’t you like about your class in raids? Do you often want to spec differently (e.g. “I’m a fury warrior but it drives me nuts and I’d much prefer MS”):
I don't really care what spec I'm in, I personally like being flexible. That said I hate how shadow priest's dps has very little burst and the cd on penance is just a tad bit too long for my taste.
Raid Availability - This includes parents permission to be on for minors. We don't need you leaving mid-raid.

* Wednesday-(7pm-12am): yes
* Thursday----(7pm-12am): yes
* Friday-------(7pm-12am): yes
* Saturday----(7pm-12am): yes
Based on 6 days of raiding a week, how many days would you expect to be on:
I'll probably be on in one form or another everyday, at the very least to do a random dungeon and jc daily.
Do you have a good internet connection and computer? Are you able and willing to talk on ventrilo if needed? The latter might be more important if you are a main tank type, for example:
mhmm
Previous Guild(s): Gin Reverse - Did t7-t8 content on another server.
Reason for leaving: Level headed reason, this is not to bash your old guild. Pretty much no 25 mans, much more casual than I would have liked.
Were you in IA Before: no
If yes, what is different now that makes you want to come back:
Do you understand that loot distribution might require you put in some time before you see any rewards:
mhmm
Please rank the following concepts in terms of their importance for you. Use the top of the list as most important, and the bottom as least important:
* Balancing warcraft with real life
* Getting world/server first kills
* Having a friendly gaming atmosphere
* Playing your alt
* Having guild organized pvp activity
Make yourself stand out. In 1 compact paragraph tell us why we should pick you and the real reason you want to join us:
Umm I know my class very well, and try to learn and understand the nuances of the different specs and skills. Although perfection can not be achieved, I try my best to play perfectly, especially for dps as juggling the various dots perfectly is needed for dps.
