The night before last I got enough Prison Keys to summon 3 of the named mobs in Blade's Edge that have a chance of dropping [Mark of the Nexus-King]. One of the mobs didn't drop it, two of them did. The first one I took and the second one Arael took. This gave me the quest to open the first Stasis Chamber in Heroic Mana Tombs. I did that tonight.

The quest reward was 5 badges of justice! O.O [The Eye of Haramad] allowed us to fight Yor after the final boss in Heroic Mana Tombs. This means that every time we do heroic Mana Tombs now we'll get 4 badges instead of 3.

Yor is a pretty easy fight. I wasn't really sure what to expect because I didn't read up on him. I wanted to be surprised. It seemed like your average tank and spank. Every now and then Yor would breath fire and I wasn't sure if it was an AoE type thing so I moved him away from the rest of the party. He dropped a BoE blue mail chest piece and a badge of justice. He has a chance to drop BoP epic rings though. Maybe next time.

After Heroic Mana Tombs Caz (Our Priest) asked if I would help him with a group quest outside the instance. Leliel and I agreed to help him. I kind of remember this quest being harder as when I did it upon first hitting 70 my group of 5 almost died and now he just summoned a single infernal and that was it. This is one of those fights where it sucks to have the tank's point of view.

Unless you LIKE staring at giant evil crotch for 5 minutes. /shrug.

After heading back to Shattrath I discovered that I had exactly 41 badges. For some time now I've been trying to decide if I'd buy a new tanking cloak or a DPS trinket. I decided to grab the [Bloodlust Brooch] because its been quite some time since I purchased a DPS piece. I've wanted one of these for quite awhile now. Now I need to decide which trinket to replace.

When Arena Points rolled over we discovered that we could buy some new pieces. I got a [Merciless Gladiator's Shield Wall], Arael got [Vengeful Gladiator's Felweave Cowl] and Leliel got [Vengeful Gladiator's Satin Gloves].

I think Arael's hat looks awesome. My shield looks pretty cool too. (All that work for the SSO exalted shield and now its gone.)

PS - Don't forget to check out my contest!

It started out as Heroic Botanica. Thats another one that I've done but haven't tanked. I did that one as an orc, thanks to my trusty transporter. Best use of mining materials EVER.

Karksus and Arael decided that now would be a good time to do Heroic Black Morass. 
Another one that I did once but never tanked.  So at this point I went and purchased my epic flying mount, zoomed around a bit, and then got summoned to the instance.

I'd rate this one as harder than SP/UB but easier than mana tombs. Everything got vendored (no enchanter at this point.) but it was still a fun instance.

I was worried about the last boss because he has that stun thing he does where I can't Dodge/Block/Parry and take a ton of damage, but it really wasn't so bad.

After Black Morass we headed out to Mana Tombs. I've tanked this one on heroic a few times now and I really like it. I'm not a big fan of those space mummies that do the immolate for like a billion damage. We actually got some usable loot here. Conga Rats Arael on [Bands of Negation].

Then we decided to end the night with a quick run through Heroic Underbog. By this point I'm pretty sure we were all super tired. I didn't take any screenshots of Underbog but I did get this one:

Bunch of suck ups! :P
