As an aside – on my rogue I have grid as a very, very small window with no notices and only names and class colours – all of my toons have different profiles (since my priest, druid and shaman need different information when healing) and I find that a completely unadorned grid, stripped of all extras, can be super-useful as raid frames for non-healer classes and I’ve never found another which shows threat so blatantly. The ability to add custom buffs and debuffs is also nice, too, though I think a lot of ‘normal’ raid frames do that now too?

As to the instances – yeah. A month or two back there were still a lot of baby DK’s levelling and groups were ok but now it’s become a lot more difficult to find groups for *normal* level 80 instances. I’m surprised you’re not finding the few groups out there as a healer though – half the time I’m in LFG I see people looking for healers for pre-80 instances as they are so few and far between.

The one thing I have noticed, though, is that when you hit 80 people are willing to go to heroics with you far more quickly than they would have been in TBC so perhaps that is a small blessing.
