We might need to set a clock on the LBRS run and try to beat our times to make sure we are moving faster every time (makes things more interesting). I am starting to hate LBRS but its the only way to UBRS which is great (2% crit spell item from a quest reward).
Just FYI, I was on a Strat-Dead run (clear all bosses and barron) when the server started the 15min countdown. Well the raid said, "lets kill as many as we can before the server drops us". We started the clock at Magistars and ended up almost getting the barron with only 7 people since 3 got locked out of the gate (current time is ~13min). Since then, the guilds NOS and NS have been talking about speed and setting the clock. Master Loot is on with a DE as the master from the start of the instance. The master looter flashs all BoP in the raid chat, unless you call need, its DE by default. At the end of the run everything is rolled for or guild rolled (one person from each guild rolls for their bank, BoE set pieces, patterns etc.). From the start of the instance it is one long pull (with people drinking and eating during the fights). The raid only stops for a boss fight and to roll for the stones. Healers swap drinking and healing. The most common thing you hear on Vent is PULL.
I'm hoping we get to this in LBRS since I really don't like this instance and it is such a long boring instance. The faster we get our key the happer I'll be.

This is what I refer to when I say Anadrol speed. You don't stop. But we still do loot by normal means. There just isn't any debate on stuff. If you need it you roll need, if you will wear it you roll greed. If no one rolls, it get's DE'd.
Can kill Baron in 50 minutes this way. Have completed UBRS in under an hour this way as well.
The issue with this is, it can no fun at all for peope that don't know the instance.
For LBRS I would suggest that you go in, kill the first couple of pulls, kill the first 6 pull and that one pat. Then you jump down to the orcs. Mow them down, mow down the spiders, kill the big dog (and the quartermaster if you want), press on to Wrym and kill him. Then you can jump down on Omok's head, kill him, then fight out and dow through the trolls. If you have a rogue or druid that wants shadowcraft or a hunter that wants her gloves kill Vosh. If not go down and kill Voone. Done.
I would think you could still do something like this in an hour or so. The problem is since we are horde and Omokk drops the shaman boots you don't have a good way to kill him for those. A rogue or druid could stealth and get the pike and if you are fast enough after you kill Omokk you could go back up and do the event from a jump after killing everyone else.
I also have no problem with the idea of speed LBRS runs. Or when some has the seal and a couple of gems just targeting runs to get the last gem. Marn still needs the shoulders from wrym and the gloves off of Voone. Even if I haven't really looked for a list of hunter gear. :)
