This is another chance for me to point out two lists I've been working on for the Avarice Alliance.
Fire Resist Gear: http://www.carpeaurum.com/modules.php?name...viewtopic&t=388
That list should have every item with FR that we have access too.
Avarice Crafters:

If you can make something and want others to know about it let me know in that thread.
If you can't access either of those threads and you are in the avarice raiding alliance you need to let Darian know because that sub forum is where the request thread for getting crafted items that take banked Molten Core mats lives as well.
For casters a group of 3 to 10 people can get to Lord Incendius in 5 to 10 minutes (depends on levels and how good you are at avoiding mobs/how many mobs you want to kill) and get a shot at the Flameweave Cuffs that get random stats. I've seen +healing, +shadow damage; +10 2 two stats, +15 to a single stat, etc. It's like a 12% drop rate for plate, 12% for mail, 12% for leather, 12% for cloth, 24% for the crappy cloth ones that are 14 FR and nothing else. If you wear cloth and you don't have a pair of these you should. It can be argued that if you get lucky and get the right stats that you end up with something better than Flarecore anyway. Mages are the only cloth class that can get an epic bracer with FR.
If you don't want to go with Flarecore pants doing runs for Vectus in Sholo gets you a good chance at Skullsmoke Pants with 10FR, 20 stam, 20 int and 5 shadow (helps vs Gehennas and Domo's healers if they somehow aren't sheeped). You get the added benefit of helping your Argent Dawn rep while in scholo so getting closer to revered and the +5 FR shoulder enchant. Again these are arguably better than Flarecore as well.
Take a look at the other stuff as well.
This doesn't just go for casters this goes for everyone. Gnolack had a Flamescarred Girdle on last night because even without good armor or any stam 20 more FR was good. In Rags that is all you see is Fire Damage. If you don't survive (and this goes for anyone) we don't had the DPS to kill him or the sons. Yeah we need practice to keep our casters away from the sons so they don't get completely mana burned. We need practice positioning for the sons. We need more FR so we can reliably get them spawned.
On these early learning attempts I don't care if you are giving up half your mana pool and 80% of your spirit for more FR. We don't have the strat down to kill the sons yet so if you are out of mana by the time they spawn but still alive that is still better in my book because you are alive and get a chance to find out where to go while the warriors get practice and moving the sons into position so you have a safe place to stand so you aren't getting mana burned. Even when we get good FR we aren't taking Rags down without some practice on the positioning and control of the sons. If one son gets into a group of casters you can have 3 to 8 people that we need for DPS with no mana left because of that.
Our second attempt on Rags last night Anadrol and I were bad on positioning. We got too close to each other and ended up getting each other hit with random knockbocks. The first attempt I resisted most of those (but I need more than 291 FR buffed still) and things went better for the tanks but too many people were frying to random attacks and lava splashes. Our melee wasn't getting out of the knockback range when it was coming up. Sure we were short on healers but what we had there was barely geared well enough to get sons to spawn. Sure we got them spawned both times but we didn't have enough standing to do anything with them.
It's like when we go into BWL. We are equipped well enough for Razorgore but when you only have 18 or 26 people we don't have enough to execute the strategies well enough to really get them tweaked for us.
So if you want to help us with Rags you need to look at that FR list and get some. If you want to help the alliance with Razorgore you need to try and be at those runs so we have the people to figure it out. We can beat him right now if we get the strats on Razorgore down. I wouldn't mind having shots at the Tier 2 bracers or any of his loot drops either.
So again use some of those tools up there. Holler at folks for Incendius runs (or Tribute runs for warriors). Psybie made a great mod to rapidly reset an instance and re-invite everyone that you can find in this thread I've got so if you do runs with me I can take care of that.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
