Agreed. I use Mumble exclusively and it's awesome. I don't understand how even many arena teams use Skype for communication. Skypes latency is so bad compared to Mumble, at least for me, that it's not even funny. Mumble's latency is about 10-20ms. Skype is good for calling your mom from around the world. Not for organizing a CC chain on the healer to take down the dps. :P
Why doesn't WoW have a monk class? That'd be really cool. Maybe a cross between a rogue and a warrior who uses both rage and energy with defensive stealth, for example. Or a pala-rogue hybrid with powerful self heals that uses mana and energy. Of course itemization would prove difficult as they'd only wear cloth and no melee weapons but that could be solved with class abilities that would eg. change leather to cloth armor and maybe enchant gloves to provide the "weapons".
The stupid thing about the instance locks is that it'll lock the instance even when it's a random one. So if I want to run eg. PoS hc later in the day with a friend and I get it from a random dungeon, I'm locked to it if decide to run it. IMO it'd be better to have instance locks apply only when you've queued to a specific instance.
The only bad experiences using the LFD tool have been with tanks. Often they'll just ignore me (healer) completely and just keep pulling in ICC hc 5-mans before I've applied the shields and beacons or topped him off.
One time a good geared tank just kept pulling in PoS hc right after Ick while I was still ressing one dps. We wiped on the groups of mobs coming from the hill. Then after we ran back, he pulled again while we were still eating and drinking after the wipe. Wipe again, obv.
Tanks, please, don't get tunnel vision.
Also, people not wanting to clear everything in ICC hcs for Battered Hilt bug me. :P
