The context for anyone interested:
So for 6.1 I ended up the guilds co-raid leader, we hadn't really done anything meaningful even on our backwater server since around Dragon Soul. BRF was initially a massive disappointment as well, up until about 6 weeks ago. Circumstances changed which meant I was put in complete control of sorting the raiding and the raid team, quickly organised a merger with another guild and since then we've gone from 2/10 mythic to 7/10 mythic. With 6.2 looming we called it a day on pushing for progress instead focusing on trying to round out the gear level of the raid team a bit, try to focus on getting those we can mythic weapons etc. A main reason for this is, as a raider I can get to grip with Maidens & Blast Furnace, but to actually get the jobs sorted and dished out correctly even with more effort and reading up than I'd like to give to the game I couldn't draft up a plan for my raid team.
I never had any aspirations to be a raid leader, but sadly so far I haven't been able to find someone who will take it from me. I've had a severe disadvantage when its come to effectively researching fights, and even getting an overview of other classes. Only ever bothered with a hunter, I can play it passably at mythic level and I never fucked up too much on movement. So that impacted the choice an enormous amount, I had no idea just how to pick the best from what I had available for the fights.
The Guild:
The guild is a very casual set-up, there's about 40 raiders in total and we raid mythic 3 nights a week. Everyone knows there's no commitment to that or rather punishment if you're unavailable, those who need to do X/Y/Z can without much concern about it negatively impacting us or their future raiding chances. There are plenty of options and I attribute this in part to bridging the many areas in which I'm lacking.
I currently have a considerable amount of officers who help piece together the jigsaw. With 7 or 8 people assigned various different jobs that I just basically act as the central conduit for.
The Important Part!
I know that what I need help with most is getting a grip on healing classes/compositions that work well and tanking set-ups. My DPS whores will generally tell me if they're particularly well suited to something that enables them to pad but I know in some cases I'm probably using the wrong classes in the wrong places there.
Also the tools a raid leader uses, I've recently gotten my hands on a weakaura that shows combat resses, who's is available, who's using them and such which has been helpful. I tend not to know what specific cooldowns are useful in which situations to call for, and while people can call for them themselves, some of the raiders will generally only react to me specifically calling for something.
The other thing I can generally do with some guidance on, is how to focus on managing a raid and still focusing on personal performance. I noticed as we got further into BRF Mythic and I had to do and call more, like on Kromog and Thogar my own performance individually was suffering. I suspect this is just an acquired skill that takes time to develop, but its frustrating when you make a mistake while being mid-sentence telling someone to stop making their current mistake.
