Character Name:
Balbanes
Class:
Paladin
Talent Spec:
Protection 0/53/18 (Maintankadin) & Protection 0/59/12 (Trash/Heroics/Dailies)
Your age:
27
Your weekly raid availability (We raid Fri/Sat 6-10pm server + Sun 4-8 server):
Your raid schedule is precisely what I am looking for.
What add-ons do you use (Check our Information for Raiders page to see our required mods)?
I have a very customized UI with a -lot- of addons. The raid-related addons I use are Bigwigs (boss timers), Skada (threat), Grid (unit frames), ZOMG Buffs (like pally power, but also does Fort, Spirit, AI, Gift, and self-buffs like Righteous Fury, Seals, Inner Fire, etc.) and oRA3 (durability, reagent, resistance checks and similar stuff.).
Do you have access to Vent?
Yes.
What sort of tools (calculators, builders, spreadsheets, etc.) do you use to plan your characters (if any)?
Wowhead's calculator is my preferred talent calc, I use Rawr for dps theorycrafting, and I spend a lot of time at the Elitist Jerks and Maintankadin forums.

What are your best in slot items for each slot from ICC 10 normal mode (Give us your gear wishlist)?
Most of what I want is Emblem of Frost gear, or I have. The few things I'm looking for in 10-normal are Gargoyle Spit Bracers from Deathbringer,
Marrowgar's Scratching Choker from Marrowgar, and either Bonebreaker Scepter from Marrowgar or The Facelifter from Putricide.
What previous raid experience do you have?
in vanilla wow, ZG, AQ20, MC, and BWL clear, AQ40 up to twin emps, and Naxx up attempts at 4HM. in BC up to attempts on pre-nerf m'uru before the guild I was in started going in two separate directions. In Wrath, all of Naxx, cleared thorim in ulduar, ToGC 10 made it to anub with 46 attempts, didn't clear him. ICC 10 festergut down, but not rotface.
What guilds have you been a member of?
Divine Light in vanilla, Counsel of Elders in BC, Sublime in Wrath, with various casual or vanity named guilds between those.
Why did you leave your previous and current guilds?
Divine Light raided six nights a week, six hours a night - too much. Counsel of Elders slowly died prior to wrath's launch. Sublime was a friday/saturday/sunday guild, but is now a tuesday/thursday/friday/saturday/sunday/monday guild - too much.
Why do you want to join Shade of Arrows (Be thorough with your answer)?
Friday/Saturday/Sunday evenings are exactly what I'm looking for in a schedule, and something a little less hardcore than "raid or die" is the setting I want.
Tell us about yourself, to help us determine if you would be a good fit here (The more you put here, the better it looks):
I work in IT (computer network security) so a spend a lot of time at a computer already. I am VERY nerdy. Theorycrafting stuff like DPS upgrades, raid strats, etc. gets me excited. I'm also a fan of trying tank things I shouldn't be able to tank. So far my biggest score there is single tanking Northrend Beasts, Lord Jaraxxus, and Twin Valks in ToGC 10.
Outside of WoW I'm a car guy, a big fan of metalwork things crafted by hand, and have a pretty bad addiction to cookies, particularly shortbread.
