1. Your age, gender, and time played: 18, Male, 46 days on DK
2. List any alts and off specs you have gear for AND CAN PLAY COMPETENTLY:
I have full t7.5 tank gear and can tank fine, but I prefer DPS.
Also, I've been thinking about switching to Frost DPS because it seems to do better, but if the raid needs unholy I'll stick with that (FYI though my off-spec right now is for PvP, not raids).
Vesperaka - Resto Druid. Gear isn't great, but I have less than 2 days played at 80. I'm planning on playing him mostly for PvP but I could see myself raiding as resto if it's really needed.
3. Armory links (mandatory):
DK- http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... i&gn=Karma
Druid - http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... =Vesperaka
4. Any WWS or WMO links or other clear indication of your performance in a raid (recommended):

From WLPH Ulduar 25 PUG
5. We are a raiding guild and ended TBC top 200 US; it is expected you have raiding experience and know ALL fights you will be brought to. In your opinion, what is the most difficult boss encounter you have ever defeated and why?: Mimiron from Ulduar 25. I started raiding when Wrath came out so I haven't faced anything difficult (I haven't seen General or Yogg). Mimiron is by no means difficult for DPS, but it's harder than other fights just because one mine will end it for me.
6. Previous guilds/servers and reason for leaving, also include any references we may contact: Karma on Scilla. Manhattan is the GM.
I'm leaving mostly because people don't seem to take raid seriously. We had to call a raid the other day because 25 people didn't show up. When people do show up, they get caught up in flash freezes on Hodir, they don't stack on Auriaya, and other stupid shit like that. Also, our guild uses a "wishlist" system where all the Raiders pick about 9 items that they want, and they will receive these items without rolling or DKP. I don't have a wishlist because I wasn't a full-time raider when Ulduar came out, so I won't be getting any Ulduar loot for a while.
7. It is assumed you will be available from 8-12 ST (Server Time is EST) Sunday through Thursday. If you can’t, please explain why you couldn't make our scheduled raid times (or why you even bothered applying): Yes I can make it.
8. Explain what specifically puts you at the top? We raid to be at the top and expect it of all our members. Do you take pride in topping meters, never letting the tank die, never pulling aggro, etc.? What separates you from the rest? Be specific, this will be a major indicator of the kind of player you are: I know my class and I can react fast. A lot of the people I raid with either don't know their class at all or are non-responsive to their environment. I pay attention to what's going on instead of just hitting the buttons for my rotation.
9. Post a screen shot of your UI (Thumbnail Please) or a comprehensive list of mods that you use for raiding. ARE YOU A CLICKER?

No, I'm not a clicker. Most of my abilities are bound to my mouse buttons plus a shift, alt, or ctrl modifier. I use DBM too.
10. If you have thoroughly answered the following questions and you are confident you are what we are looking for, you have a good chance of being trialed, but we'd like to know why you want to join us? What made you choose us over the other guilds out there?
I have a few friends in this guild. I know Burlock and Spektra personally. I ran 2's and 3's with ShortySmalls for a bit. More importantly though, you guys are striving for achievements and I'd really like to be a part of that. I'm tired of wipes on Hodir 10 man easy mode, and I would like to raid with people that don't suck as a whole.
11. Add anything else you think we’d find interest, such as you’re a GM, you recorded WWS for your old guild, you were an officer or did assignments in a past guild, tracked DKP and distributed loot, or anything else noteworthy
Nothing in terms of guild management or anything along those lines. Otherwise, I guess it's worth saying that I don't like to suck. I read up on EJ when I have to, and I also read a lot on Arena Junkies because I'm a somewhat active PvPer. Don't be turned off by my lack of raid experience (or the fact that I haven't seen Yogg or General). I'll take the time to learn all the fights - this hasn't been a problem for me in the past. I'd gladly take an invite as a trial to prove myself.
