[25 Man Casual Raid] Paladin (DPS) - Taridan

[Applicant]

Hello, Iron Edge!

Character: Taridan
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Kazzak/Taridan/advanced
Class/Spec: Paladin (DPS)
Raid: 25 Man Casual Raid

Personal Info:

Colm O'Dwyer, 23. Living in Limerick, Ireland. Playing the game since I was 16.

Spec:

Mostly using Ret spec on my Paladin. When doing other roles I'd usually use my Druid for tanking or healing. Have healing offspec on the Paladin but have recently begun building Prot gear.

Class:

Well after Hit and Exp are sorted, it's Haste all the way. Bit of Mastery if needs be then. I'll usually use Noxxic and Mr Robot just to fine tune the stats with reforging.
I know my rotation and how to maximize it. I know my flexibilty and utility through the use of my hands and/or bubble.

Alts:

Kyalkin - lvl90 Resto Druid
Arikanto - lvl90 Warlock

Professions:

Blacksmithing and Mining. My druid had been me main at start of expansion so he is Min-Maxed with Jewelcrafting and Engineering.
Blacksmithing because it creates the gear relevant to my character and gives extra gem slots.

Raid Experience:

On my old realm Emerald Dream I raided some Karazhan in TBC with pugs to start. Being in a social guild we didn't raid so much until Wrath. Raided Naxx Ulduar and ToC with my druid as a healer. Changed to tank out of necessity for ICC where we cleared up to Sind. At the same time joined Anastasis with my Warlock and raided with them who went 10/12 25hrc.
For Cata I was late to join over exams and my guild had fallen apart. Moved realm to Maelstrom with my Warlock and joined RL friends with some casual raiding of Dragon Soul once a week. We had normal on farm and got 5/12 hrc.

Previous Guilds:

Titans of Tranquillity - Emerald Dream. Joined them as my first guild 7 years ago. Helped build the guild, was Raid Leader for a long time and was recently Guild Master. Left with my 3 mains to this realm because to put it bluntly, Emerald Dream died. Still have many alts in the guild and pop in to chat occasionally.
Anastasis - Emerald Dream. Joined to Hardcore raid 25man hrc ICC. Only stayed for about 2 months until time constraints made me stop. When I came back for Cata the guild couldn't get 25 people and fell apart.
Sanctum - Maelstrom. Joined with RL friends as we casual raided Dragon Soul. Were doing very well......until Diablo came out xD.
Rockshandy - Kazzak(current). Just a guild me and a friend made while we adjusted on this realm.

Availability:

Almost all evenings. Latest I ever work is 8.

Communication:

Yes to all except the Teamspeak. Had used Raidcall before. Easy to download it though.

Computer / Connection:

Only time I drop below 60fps is in Shrine or Org. Even then it'd be 40ish. Have 8gb of Ram and an i7 processor. 2 Radeon HD 7800 Series Graphics cards. Internet is solid with 30mb download. But we're still updating it soon as I usually stream.

Addons/UI:

DBM....for very obvious reasons .
CLC Ret for the ease of choosing which of my 6 moves to use next xD
Healbot for good use of my Hands(of Protection, Salvation etc)
Recount
Elv UI

Other Games:

DayZ and Dota2

Why Iron Edge?

I wanted to join a Casual Raiding guild. Me and my friend did some research and decided yours had the best progress to suit our needs and level. Also you had the best name

What can I offer Iron Edge?

I'm an all round good player and attentive to whomever is calling the shots. I can offer undivided attention and obedience during raids. And great laughs on the social aspect. I don't take things too serious, have always loved the strategy of "Wing it" and have no problem with repetitive wipes in a learning process.

Where did I hear about Iron Edge??

Friend

Last Words?

I am joining with my friend Shandango. We are looking to both join as we sit beside each other in our setup.
Other then that, yea I hope ye'll like the application. And if nothing else, you'll know having 2 Irish lads join will be a good craic!

Hail Colm,
