Avoid taking unneeded damage, prevent others from taking damage if possible, and above all a timely rotation and the usage of all CDs to Max DPS in progression content every time. Research when not raiding is also very key, as it requires 25 people with full expertise on the content to have cohesion.

Character in AOA
23. Do you know any one in AOA?
I have played with Rhuudii for a while, since he began in Wrath, I know Ullrs and a couple other guys. I mixed it up with Oedipal in ToC25, but he definitely backed it up, pulling some top DPS in 232 gear.
24. Tell us about yourself

25. What guild(s) have you been in before and why did you leave?
Enraged I think is now dead as Gilf xferred his other toons.

I was GL of LFM Resilience leading TK and SSC raids.
27. List 25+ man bosses in WotLK that you have been a participant in killing on this character
To Festergut and basically all content prior (10 man Fester, Rot, and almost Putricide) - Was on Vacation during 2nd week of Plaguewing and personally led Pugs to Fester/Rotface 10-25 (painful).
28. List 25+ man bosses in WotLK that you have been a participant in killing on any character
Bswan is essentially the only toon I play
29. Do you have a Blizzard authenticator?
Yes
Side note is that I do 6.6K dps in 10 and 7.1K in 25man and I have a high percentage of on time-on-target DPS given my heroic fury and extensive keybinding, which I feel would be an attribute filling in for any of your raiders on Putricide, as I have clocked myself at 5.6K DPS during that fight. I believe I would be an asset to the guild given the amount of research and dedication I have to this toon's DPS and mobility and if given the chance could be a dependible fill in or raider as I pug efficiently when not guild raiding.
