After having our MT dc for almost 2 hours starting at raid time we decided to go over to gruul to have some fun and try to keep moral up.  After nearly wiping to the slowest gruul kill we've ever had (17 growths) Radamanthus logged back on and we headed back to face Illidan certain we had put our worse tries of the night behind us.  An hour and a half later Illidan was dead.  This marks the first time for many of us, including myself, to ever be even with, and maybe even ahead of raid content and it feels good.

The council went down despite many disconnects.  That fight is just way too long for how uninteresting it is.
