Anyway, here are some pic's (Note: I had to lower my video settings to their lowest level to minimize lag. All of BWL is a major video lag-fest.):

Gratz! Now it's on to the 11-12 pulls and then boss row with Ebonroc, Flamegor, and Chromaggus really close together. I think the reason Firemaw is seen as a "break point" is probably because Ebonroc and Flamegor are similar types of fights (although with their own little twists) but it's still taking us a bit of effort to get them down. It's especially fun when you pull one drake while fighting another (one of our mages did that, oops :P). Good luck to you guys :)
