Last Monday, we dropped our first boss of the second Cataclysm raid tier - Occu'thar. w00t!

It's been a long time since we dropped a brand new boss. And it's been longer still since we did our first complete clear of an instance.
Tonight, we did both.
First up, we said "goodnight Gracie" to Halfus in the Bastion of Twilight:
And then, at long, long last, we returned to the Blackwing Descent and finally put paid to Nefarian:
We got a couple of nice achievements for our pains:
After many attempts, finally we took down Yogg-Saron:
Halion, alas, had a strange reluctance to fall down in front of us, and after the loss of Kaboodle to sleepy-time, we went to try our luck in the Trial of the Crusader.
We cleared the place in about 30 mins. Might be time to make our way to the Cataclysm raids...
Here's the last minute or so of our Rotface kill from last night. As you can see from the video, I didn't have much to do then...
Another ICC boss falls before us...
A mere week after Saurfang fell, we get Festergut down on the third attempt. Some strong attempts on Rottface and some good learning on Valithria Dreamwalker suggests that we might be able to push forwards in the coming weeks...
Deathbringer Saurfang, who was rapidly becoming the Aran of this expansion, finally fell last night, although it was touch and go...
The defeat of our first Icecrown Citadel boss:
This marks the first ever time we've killed a boss at the cutting edge of raiding.
Last night was the guild's secon major push into Ulduar, and it went well.
We then one-shotted Ignis before going to have a chat with Razorscale. This was a long fight - long enough that my client crashed, I had to force a reboot, and was able to log back in and rejoin the fight before the end. And the end was good:
Shanda had to call off then, so we substituted in Almaron. However, two healers prove, uh, sub-optimal in the Kologarn fight, so Hex switched to healing. And Lokè discovered that Kologarn, in fact, lives in a hole. (Riv double checked this for us later). But, on the fourth attempt, down he went:
I believe the plan is to extend the lock-out and push deeper into Ulduar.
