C. Raiding and Character information
1. Character Name | Spec | Class
Azln | Frost | Death Knight
2. Are you a clicker?
No I’m not retarded
3. Do you have any notable alts?
Rzln | Mutilate | Rogue | Akama
play time 136 days
4. What is your raiding experience Pre-BC? In BC? WoTLK? Specify if in a leadership role.
If you aim to look me up on a site that tracks characters or my armory know that I have name changed / server transferred numerous times. If you need to know more detail on my character's whereabouts let me know and I can elaborate.
Classic:
Zagul of Akama (now Rzln of Akama):
MC: cleared with Warpath
BWL: cleared with Warpath
AQ40: cleared to Huhuran with Warpath (edit for Murder you fucker)
Naxx: attempted Razuvius with Warpath
The Burning Crusade:
I'll say up front that I mostly pvp'd in TBC (did arena casually due to it being my senior year of college). As a result I only saw SSC, TK, and BT far after release (mostly). I did not see the inside of Sunwell until Wrath.
Gruul: cleared with RCA
Mag: cleared with RCA
SSC: cleared with RCA
TK: cleared with RCA
Hyjal: cleared with RCA
BT: honestly can't remember but either Gorefiend or Bloodboil
Sunwell: seen it on my DK but still haven't cleared it.
Wrath of the Lich King:
I rolled a Death Knight (Ezln) on Ner'Zurl with old Warpath members (Cheem, Toothpaste, Tippmann). A business trip came up so I had to go to Vegas for a two weeks which just so happened to co-inside with the release of Wrath. As a result I was out leveled, replaced, and set to a backup-raider / casual. I wanted to play with my bros from Warpath so I didn't find another guild / server until I grew impatient which is when I transferred to Black Dragonflight.
I spent a short time on Black Dragonflight (still Ezln) where I cleared up to Yogg with Brofessionals.
Brofessionals was going casual so I decided to go back to Akama with some old friends (Jigamortis of Hellbent). Shortly after I joined Chupathingy where I didn't raid (bench warmer) and settled into Hellbent.
Naxx: cleared
EoE: cleared
OS: cleared
Ulduar: cleared to Yogg with Brofessionals
ToC: Tribute to Insanity in ToGC10 and stuck on Anub'arak (8%?) in ToGC25 with Hellbent
ICC: 11/12 normal with Hellbent
Hit a huge cock block of a wall here with Hellbent. I raided with a great bunch of guys but there where too many people not performing at the proper level. That in combination with Akama being a fairly low pop and under progressed Horde side led to frustration and another transfer where I landed in Burning Sensation of Korgath.
At the time of my transfer (2/20/2010) they were where Hellbent was; 11/12 normal mode. This is a copy and paste from wowprogress so that I could include dates to reflect what percent the raid wide buff was at.

6. You will need lots of consumables to keep up with the pace during progression raids. Do you have the will and time to put in enough effort to keep an adequate amount?
Absolutely. I always come prepared with more than enough endless rage flasks, potions of speed, dragonfin filets and spiced mammoth treats when unholy.
7. Will you come to a progression raid having already read any available information relevant to encounters?
Always, there is really no reason not too when videos are all over mmo-champion, tankspot and other top guilds from PTR / live.
8. What do you think about beginning raids early and staying beyond the required raid times to down new content?
I get home about a half hour before your raid starts but I wouldn’t have a problem starting early if it’s within that half hour or on days I work from home which is Wednesday and Friday. I have no problem staying beyond scheduled finish.
9. Post a WWS report / Wow Meter Online of a few recent raids in your guild. If your guild does not run these, post a screenshot(s) of your recount for some boss encounters. (DO NOT LEAVE THIS OUT)

10. Post a screenshot of your UI while in a raid enviroment (in combat). (Give a list of any relevant addons not shown.)

I don’t have any combat ones due to my video drivers being gay and causing screen shots to come up black. But here are a couple of videos from Blood Queen and Dreamwalker. Not the best to show my DPS but shows my raid UI like you are asking for:

D. Dual Spec
1. What is your secondary spec?
Currently PvP Unholy.
2. Are you able to play it as well as your main spec?
I actually actually prefer unholy PvE but currently rocking frost due to not having an enhancement Shaman. I can play all 3 specs at a sufficient level.
3. Are you willing to change your main spec and/or secondary spec for guild needs?
Absolutely.
E. Professions
1. What are your 2 professions? if they are not maxed to the level of profession perks, why not?
450 Blacksmithing / 450 Jewlcrafting
2. If you have a gathering profession, what is stopping you from dropping it for a profession that benefits your stats more?
n/a
F. Other Questions
1. What guild are you currently in? Who is/was the GM? Include their website.
Burning Sensation of Korgath. GM is Dimitrius. http://www.burning-sensations.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=421
2. Why are you leaving your current guild?
Burning Sensations is a great guild full of a lot of great guys. Currently many are going casual with no indication that they will come back and we recently had some massive loot drama causing even more people to leave. We no longer try heroic Lich King. Which brings me here. It’s time to step it up a notch.
3. Do you play actively outside of raiding?
You can find me online just about every day of the week. Times will typically be lower on weekends holidays but I do log in here and there.
4. Are you able to take and improve upon harsh criticism?
I love it, bring the harshest shit you can throw. In my opinion its the only way to get better, if forces you to confront your failures and correct them. Murderkitten was pretty harsh but fortunately for me I was never the at the brunt of his abuse.
5. There will be bench time. Everyone will have to sit at one point in time or another. Are you okay with this?
Bring the player not the class! Yea I’m cool with this.
6. Why are you interested in joining Acquired Taste? do you currently know anyone in Acquired Taste?
I know Murderkitten from Chupathingy but only realy know him in a friendly capacity as I rode the bench like a whore. Also you guys where always looked up to as the pros going back to when I started playing on Akama with Warpath in vanilla. I’d like to come back to Akama to chill with my homeboys even some are of the opposing faction. I hope I prove to be better and more reliable than crewie and hilltor. But hey, they say DPS isn’t hard!
7. What are the other guilds you applied to? any particular reason why you are shopping for multiple guilds?
So far you are it. Mostly due to the reasons stated above.
8. How can we contact you outside of the game? AIM, Email, etc...
