[25 Man Casual Raid] Paladin (Heal) - Strifium (XR)

[Applicant]

Hello, Iron Edge!

Character: Strifium
Server: Twisting Nether
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/Twisting%20Nether/Strifium/advanced
Class/Spec: Paladin (Heal)
Raid: 25 Man Casual Raid

Personal Info:

Well, hello there!
My name is Berkay. I'm 23 years old, i'm currently ( and still ) studying in Ankara University. I'm from Turkey and used to be an Iron Edger in past.

Spec:

I'm playing as a holy paladin with retribution off-spec. Since you can change your talents and glyphs with tomes there's no need to have two holy specs and i'm doing my daily quests as retribution.
I've got 514 ilvl in my Holy Gear and 501 ilvl in my retribution gear.

Class:

I've been a holy paladin since i've hit level 70 in the Burning Crusade expansion. I've never made protection or retribution my primary spec but kept the gear and experience through years to fill my guild's needs ( Trash tanking in Mount Hyjal or DPSing in Naxxramas, ICC and DS ).
As mastery exhilarates holy paladins combat efficiency, mastery is my primary stat along side with spirit. Having a huge amount spirit is a must and i've got priority on item with spirit on it. In a short way of explaining;
Spirit > Mastery > Haste > Crit is my order.

I can't tell about any rotation on healing but as developers agrees, Eternal Flame is overpowered and putting EF to major targets in raid ( tanks etc ) requires usage of holy shock on every cooldown reset.
Joint use the holy shock after holy radiance donates free AOE heal so keeping an eye on holy shock CD after the holy radiance gives a little bit more breathing space in AOE damages.

Alts:

I've got level 85 shadow priest, mage and warlock but i'm not willing to level them up or raid with them. So i'm just going to contribute with my paladin.

Professions:

I've got Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting with numerous recipies. But with the arrival of epic gems and losing JC's gem bonus maybe on this expansion, i'm going to ditch the JC and get Enchanting instead.

Raid Experience:

I've began raiding with TBC expansion and "forced" to be a holy paladin ( great RL friends! ). I'm going to

PVP;

I've got minimal PvP experience. I'm rarely joining Battlegrounds and used to fought in Arena in Ulduar & ToC patch with 1700kish rating.

Previous Guilds:

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Spellblade: The first guild i've ever played. Stuffed with RL friends and fresh game experiences. We moved into guild Redeemer guild with several players.
Redeemer: My first "serious" guild in WoW cleared everything in TBC expect Kil'jaden. Guild disbanded pre-WoTLK
Tyrants: Joined in release of WoTLK. Became paladin class officer and cleared until Yogg-Saron 1 Keeper and Algalon in Ulduar & Twins in ToGC. Guild Master and majorty of officers quit WoW to play Aion.
Iron Edge: I've got _tricked_ by Jaca and Supremacy to join IE after Tyrant's disbandment. Cleared whatever left in WoTLK and first content of Cataclysm. Our 10-man squad lost some core members and we stopped playing. I've took a long break and when i'm returned there wasn't any PvE activity so i've left.
Talent: A 10-man guild with previous comrades in TBC and ICC. We cleared whole Cataclysm and first content of MoP. Most of the roster quit WoW in order to focus their personal lifes and we called off our PvE progress.
Argonath: A guild in Twisting Nether with majority of ex-Tyrants players in it. Did well pre-ToT patch but disbanded because of some wannabe drama queens in their Officer ranks.
SYNCHRONISM: Formed with close friends in Argonath to have some friendly raiding environment. Cleared ToT normal but some issues between GM and raiders caused huge troubles and most of the crew left to found their guild.

Availability:

******
"Even though i'm going to be available after my finals ( June 20-21ish ) i've decided to make an application, to get F&F rank until i can raid."
******

I'm available in Mondays and Tuesdays. I've got no schedule on Monday and Tuesday nights but tales of drinking and joy may distract my raiding attendance but it'd never drop below 75% or even 90%.

Communication:

I've got TS3 and microphone works properly ( I've fixed it Dell!! ). I'm good at listening and understanding English but some rustiness and being non-native speaker may cause some tiny mistakes but i don't think that'd be a huge deal.

Computer / Connection:

I've got decent PC to play with +50 FPS on 25m raid on high settings. I've updated my PC to play Battlefield 3 on Ultra settings, WoW got some benefits from it.

I've good internet connection, sorry to tell that good old Turkish DCs are gone now ( Heartbreaker, isn't it? ).

Addons/UI:

Bigwigs Boss Mods. (death to the DBM users!!)
Grid and some alt addons.
X-Pearl frames.
Quartz.
MSBT.
OmniCC
and various non-combat addons.

Other Games:

I'm playing Dota 2, Battlefield 3 (give squad mates), Black Ops 2 and more and more games. Basicly add Strifium on Steam and Striumf on Origin.

Why Iron Edge?

I used to raid and "play" in Iron Edge. As i'm telling to everyone; " -Iron Edge is the best guild i've ever joined. ". I did hardcore progress on A-Team and smooth raid in Monstar Inc. 10-man group. Also enjoyed to company of other Iron Edgers in guild chat. I never had the chance to play non-WoW games with Iron Edgers but i'm sure that i'd be delighted.
Long story short, Iron Edge is more than a regular WoW guild.

What can I offer Iron Edge?

I can fill a solid healer spot in raid setup with minimal fails and give a player who knows encounters before the pull. I can't tell that i'm a talkative person 24/7 but i'm a kind person with calm attitude. ( ps. check forum title! )

With 2 days raiding i can join Dota 2 games if there's a spot and i'm in need of a good Battlefield 3 squad, so hope that there's some active BF3 players here!.

Where did I hear about Iron Edge??

A wise old man with grey beard appeared in my dreams and ushered in about Iron Edge!

Last Words?

This creepy question again! Are you going to execute me?!

[Strifium]

I couldn't find forum's attachment option on application page and couldn't upload a SS so i'm doing it now. ( I hate upload websites. )
