Leading Flex/Normal Pugs

[Azrogol]

So I've gotten lots of feedback from you guys, and it seems (and from what I've read) that probably normal wings 1 and 2 of Siege are doable in 535+ gear. Since most pugs are asking for 545-550+ on Illidan, I decided to start leading normal pugs. I dps normally, but I plan to tank through lfr and flex for practice to get a better idea of what the tanks have to do. Any tips/addons for someone who's never led a raid before? My biggest fear is Malkorok, every flex group I've been has wiped due to breath mostly (sometimes puddles); is there an addon or macro for marking the zone, or do I just have to be quick on the draw?

If you want to have a quick overview what each role has to do, you can look at the LFR guides at No Life at 90:

Part 1: http://nolifeat90.blogspot.de/2013/0...de-part-1.html
Part 2: http://nolifeat90.blogspot.de/2013/0...-gates-of.html
Part 3: http://nolifeat90.blogspot.de/2013/1...de-part-3.html
Part 4 was unfortunately never written.

While those are for LFR, most of the stuff applies to flex/normal, too. From the top of my head the major difference is that you can't single tank the Sha of Pride.

is there an addon or macro for marking the zone, or do I just have to be quick on the draw?

You can use the /wm command for that. Have a look at http://wowpedia.org/World_marker
