After spending a day grinding orgers to get from revered to exalted with the Mag'har, I've finally achieved my goat!
Oh my god it's so cute ;_;.
I'm happy to replace my frost wolf xD.

I have the old Black War Ram myself. I like it a lot, especially his blue eyes. Still, it would be nice to have a special mount like Midnight.
EDIT: As for reputation...I still have a long way to become Revered with all instance factions ;(

I'm trying for Attumen's mount still. So far we've not seen it drop, and we've cleared Kara

That's a pretty cool looking mount.

Having a Shadow Priest makes the fight go alot smoother. Then again, anything in Kara is smoother with a Shadow Priest. The first few times we downed him was without one. I had to solo offtank the weak add using my vw and Health Funnel and dotting, I had to keep another feared (though I could be confusing this with another fight), and the hunter had to kite/trap another. The last one they tried to down as quickly as possible while the tank continued tanking Moroes, and then I think it finally came down to my fear target and Moroes, where we just let the other guy beat on people while we focused on Moroes. I used VW as second tank on him b/c if he did his bleed effect on VW it didn't matter as much and I could always try to summon another in combat if he downed it (he bleeds the second person on his aggro list, which would be VW). VW also was awesome for using its aoe taunt that has the second effect of causing them to miss more a bit. He's a tough fight to learn, but he's no Aran or Nightbane.
I've gotta relearn all the fights though b/c I just had to weepingly leave my fantastic guild b/c I simply cannot make the raid schedule with my job and this site and other committments I have, so my work friends are making a guild that will raid maybe four nights a week from 12Est-4am since that is when we are free. I can't do weekends so they have to work with that, so it'll prob be Mon-Thur with Monday (before server downage and raid reset) being our little cleanup day after a three day break. This is to let me focus on the other things I do.

He doesn't garrote the second aggro on the list, it's random. We've had extremely bad luck with him. We got him to 1800 health and lost.
Our tactic is similar, we have 2 priests shackle, one ice trapped, one beat down, while 2 tanks work on Moroes. The reason for 2 tanks is because when he gouges he'll turn to the second person on the aggro list, being the other tank.
The fact is, he's garroted the priests a lot, causing us to heal ourselves and putting a lot of stress on the fight. The only time we've come close again to winning was when we got a paladin in the fight, but it was a rogue playing him and he was a bit rusty.
We also have shitty luck with CC breaking early, or people dcing.

Moroes is an unpleasant boss. His assistants need to be crowd controlled and his Garotte can be a pain for the healer, responsible for the entire raid. Luckly, we have him more or less on farm status. We usually use two schackles and one freeze trap to keep most of Moroeses assistants in check. The one who is left we off tank. The tank naturally goes against Moroes. We have two healers (usually priests) on the tanks and one healer (Druid or Paladin) on the rest of the guild. DPS is self explanationary. Allthough we used to have problems with him (and sometimes still have), we have by now more or less mastered him.
Oh and his Garrotte is indeed random. Beacuse if it was based on the aggro list, I would have goten it each and every time (I`m a Restoration Druid, so I`m tasked with healing the entire raid) which did not happen.

By far the best raid makeup for Moroes is 1 of each class and another Priest. You have 2 Shackles a Trap and a Fear (Paladin). From there it's basically luck (Garrote) and everyone who has a specific role to do being on their toes. It's also good to have the tank turn away from Moroes after taking back aggro after a vanish, to avoid a gouge, or whenever you think he might do another gouge.
My guild's second raid has been having problems with Moroes for a while, mostly because we only had one shackle and 3 healers. Last night we got some new people in, a Shadow Priest and a Paladin and one shot him.
We also always kill one or two of the adds. ALWAYS. Being able to cut down healing needed AND have a spare tank (or in our case, Feral Druid) is a major plus for the fight. If you don't kill one of the adds in your raids, I highly suggest you do.
