Llyra Scattershot thoughts

An unfederated collection of thoughts tonight…
I hate to admit it, but I’m looking forward to the new cross-realm LFG system. I know this means I’m looking forward to pugging. And that pugging was invented in the pits of hell to convince the damned that salvation does not exist. I’m looking forward to it all the same.
For some reason, I keep playing the auction house. There’s nothing I want to spend money on, but I keep bankrolling it all the same. I have no explanation for this behavior.
I’m going to start back up on HealingDummy. Now that HoTs tick, it should be pretty easy to get it into the final stretch. Are there other addons y’all were hoping to see?
Everybody and their grandmother was talking about the Hunting Lodge Podcast yesterday. Brigwyn and Daewin have a good thing going there. All told, it was a day full of WoW podcasts. The Elitists, WoW Insider show, Hunting Lodge and the Twisted Nether Blogcast. Do you people all aim at maintenance Tuesdays for your releases?
For anyone missing Tristan’s Thunderstruck this weekend, as I am, he aintn’t dead. Swamped by school last week, but he should be back this week. He’s looking for a permanent co-host for The Elitists Podcasts. Anyone out there with a love of their own voice and a flair for all things Blizzard, look him up. (I have to fix my microphone. Not that I qualify. I don’t know the first thing about Starcraft or Diablo. You click in those games, right? Like, a lot?)
Curse Client v4 is in open beta. I never did a followup post about it, but WoW Interface’s MMOUI Minion is stable enough for general use now as well.
Stoney on Big Hit Box puts to rest any question of upgrading to a fast weapon for Enhancement builds. I picked up an Icefall Blade one night when literally no one else would take it. I tried plugging it into EnhSim to see how it would work out. It was a disaster. Vendor-bait now.
And they’re dropping the cooldowns on our Fire and Earth Elemental Totems to 10 minutes. That’s fun.
Addons,
Enhancement,
Patch 3.3

Yer still crazy! :-)
I wantz an addon to list who has received which loot in a little window. Have it automatically reset when you enter a new instance (not re-enter the same one on the same raid/instance id). Only needs to track epics and maybe rares. Output a list of person name and the item they received. Command line to open/close the window is fine.
If you get fancy you could add the local date/time they received it, standard item tooltips when you mouse over the item and a DataBroker plugin so I can add it to my broker and only display it when I mouse over it.
Can I haz?
OMG I finally said haz!
Gobble gobble.
I really like the Elemental CD change.
Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be too OP for BGs - it's a big help for certain PvE fights, should help with levelling as resto (if anyone is crazy enough to do it) after 65, and yeah, I'll be dropping it in BGs much more often now.
Also looking forward to the new LFG system don't worry, if not for the pet, just to test it out and play around. Think it could be fun to meet new people and not all pugs make you want to get the rope.. most, but, not all..
