Reasoning:
Shadow Priest mana regeneration goes to to heavy mana users, Holy Priest, Elemental Shaman, Fire Mage
Xona gets bonus mana regeneration but that doesn't really matter too much since she can just life tap, but Vampiric embrace'll heal her back up to full, if we aren't hard pressed for aggro
The Elemental Shaman can drop a Totem of Wrath, 3% to hit and crit, chances are none of us have much spell hit, but you need to get, I think 16% chance to hit to reach the 99% hit cap, also the +crit helps for obvious reasons, like if Xona crits we both get 20% more damage on all Shadow Damage, highly useful
The second group should hopefully have a Paladin for buffs, 2 healers in that group should ensure that on our first tries few people die
A Hunter and a Fire Mage for CC since we will need it, even though we're tank heavy
Aran
I know this is preparing well in advance BUT I have free time
Aran is a very Physical Damage friendly fight, he had 0 Armour so all attacks do full damage
By the time we get to him, we'll hopefully have some Meele DPS, Ragingheart has expressed a desire to respec to DPS which may also be benefial to the raid group, so by the greed DKP rules he'll get all the uneeded Plate DPS gear, for Aran this should be very helpful to us as Warrior DPS goes through the roof at Aran, especially if combined with a Windfury totem
