Aha finally WoW.com have posted a Blood Tanking 101 article. Still waiting for Rurikhan to post his Blood tanking video.

The cost of all Inscription trainer glyphs

Some project is going on with my DK, a hint to which may be the following. I took the time to work out how much it would cost to learn all the Inscription glyphs from the trainer. In other words, what it costs to learn all trainable glyphs. I went through Wowhead's listing of glyphs and broke them up into bands according to cost. The answer is as follows:

So it is only 150 gold to learn the lot. This is notable because reports on Wowhead say that the Inscription research may find glyphs you could have learned from a trainer if you didn't know them. So it seems best to learn them all before doing research.

Underbog forgotten

Last night I queued for a random heroic as DPS, to see what the wait would be like. Nicely it was 10 minutes, during which I quested anyway. The instance was the Underbog. Erm the what?

Having run dungeons back in TBC I thought I would remember them. However I had no clue whatsoever about the Underbog and didn't really recognise any of it at all. This does not bode well for randomly queueing to tank instances, as I would need much time to study wowwiki or wowhead for boss tactics and even the route through the place. They aren't all linear in TBC!

Will of the Necropwnlis?

Hmm here is an interesting spec for Blood tanking and AOE which is very close to the one I took from pwnwear.com, except this swaps Necrosis, DRW and Mark of Blood for 3/3 in Will of the Necropolis. Thus is higher survivability but for less threat, although DRW and MoB are yet more things to press, so may be better to use this spec instead.
