		+	'''Tanks'''
		+	(from Cybit, alliance tank)
		+
		+	If you're the MT or OT, your job is simple. Hold aggro on your target at all costs. To do that, I generally run towards the target and hit bloodrage, then hit shield block (this works if you have improved shield block) right before I engage. This allows me to most likely block the first attack from the target, triggering Revenge. I hit revenge, and odds are the rage from being hit so hard has given me enough rage to sunder as well. I then start spamming sunder, hitting shield block whenever the timer comes up, and hitting revenge as much as possible. Since I have 31+ protection, I also hit shield slam as often as it comes up, as well as shield bash. So a typical run goes like this
		+
		+	1) Bloodrage/Charge enemy
		+	2) Shield block
		+	3) Get hit by enemy
		+	4) Revenge
		+	4a) Demo Shout/Battle Shout
		+	5) 5x Sunder
		+	6) Shield Block
		+	7) shield bash (12 sec cooldown?)
		+	8) Shield Slam (6 sec cooldown)
		+	9) Revenge (5 sec cooldown, shares with overpower)
		+	and then repeating 6 through 9, and applying Demo Shout/Battle Shout/Thunderclap when necessary. I don't tend to use heroic strike too much, because it goes away when you use another instant skill, but if you have a fast weapon, spamming heroic strike after revenge works wonders for holding aggro as well.
		+
		+	Using Taunt:
		+	Assuming you have CTRA, and can tell what your target's target is, the rule I have for taunt is simple. If the target's target isn't something with a rage bar, use Taunt. :) My character has improved taunt, which gives me far more leeway in that regard.
		+
		+	Bosses: Generally the same idea. Hold aggro at all costs and trust your healers. Improved Shield Wall and Last Stand are extremely nice skills for tanking bosses.

		+	'''Healers'''
		+
		+	Just a list of recomendations to start fleshing this section out.
		+
		+	If you can cast healing spells, join the basinpriest channel in addition to your normal class channel. This is where the main healing assignments are handed out. Even if you are not assigned as healing, you may be needed in a pinch. Remember, if the tanks die, so does everyone else.
		+
		+	If you are assigned to heal a specific person, you may want to make a macro to target that person.
		+
		+	If you are assigned into a healing rotation, please note down who you are going to take over from, and who takes over after you. Then make macros that announce you are stepping into rotation, or your mana has dropped below the swap out mark and the next person has to step up. These messages should go to the basinpriest channel.
		+
		+	If at all possible, multiple druids should not have the same healing target. Druids rely on HoT spells more often then not, but not only do they not stack, you may not be able to cast it at all if that same HoT is already applied to your target by another druid.
		+
		+	Unless otherwise noted, during boss fights you should stay at max healing range from your designated target.

Completing it allows you to zone directly into the Molten Core from Blackrock Mountain without having to clear through to the actual entrance portal far into Blackrock Depths.
 The quest is given by a high elf Lothos Riftwalker. He can be found inside Blackrock mountain, between the Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge. To reach him, walk across the chain into the pillar in the center of the lava in BRM and follow the path downwards. At the bottom you will cross another chain and he will be easily visible.
-To complete the quest you have to collect a Core Fragment from just outside the green raid portal for Molten Core, between the Seven Dwarfs and the Lyceum. It is completable in a ten man raid, but can easily be done with five.

 A pair of [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?wmob=11658 Molten Giants] are the very first pull in MC. They come in pairs, or with a Molten Destroyer. The giants hit fairly hard and fairly fast but like all MC trash mobs, they aren't a problem to heal through. They do however have an aoe attack to people in melee range, so spot healing is required. Molten Giants also have a knockback which they will use on the tank, reducing the tanks aggro and most often chasing after one of the damage characters. For tanking these mobs it helps to position yourself between the giant and the casters. When knocked back, you will be able to easily intercept the giant on its way to the casters.
 [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?wmob=11659 Molten Destroyers] are easier to deal with. They are larger in size, hit harder and take significantly longer to kill. But again, they really aren't a problem to heal through. They have an aoe knockdown, stunning for a couple of seconds, but it doesn't have the aggro reducing component of the giants' knockback so it is not a threat to the raid, though as with giants spot healing is needed.

@@ Line 147: / Line 147: @@
 [http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?wmob=11668 Firelords] are usually pulled singly, occasionally in pairs. These mobs look like large fire elementals and their damage is all fire. They have no aoe; instead they will periodically spawn smaller lava spawns. Lava spawns have a ranged fireball attack, but don't do much damage. But if they stay alive for more than 20 seconds, they split in half to form two lavaspawns, each as powerful as the original. If left alone long enough, these two will also split into four, who will split into eight, and so on. So it is imperative that they are killed as soon as possible. Mages will most often blizzard to hit both spawn and firelord and melee dps will assist the MA in attacking the lavaspawns.
-Firelords themselves cast a magic debuff every three seconds or so that does a lot of damage over time and silences the target. This should be quickly dispelled by priests.
