True, some have the elite portrait, but that rarely means anything besides a little more health, and maybe a knockback ability. Elites used to be things that killed you dead. Everyone used to be envious of the classes that could successfully kite the things around, as that was the only way to kill them without grouping.
Now? I killed the Redridge shark when he swam up to me from behind. I wasn't prepared, didn't plan to fight him, killed him handily with no kiting or tricks. The only TRUE elite I found was that one in the plaguelands. Though I have seen one or two others in some higher level zones that I haven't messed with, so maybe there are still a few top-notch mobs out there. I hope so.

Clean for two years. . .but Cataclysm got me.

A friend of mine is considering it, but my reply on joining him is an emphatic no.

The "mini-instanced" thing you refer to is what they call call "phasing".

Sure, I understand that part, I just don't know how it works when you pull in other players.

If you've tried it and didn't like it, the changes won't convince you to play.

On the plus side, DK glyphs sell like hotcakes, so I'm fine with some OP DK fun.

There are "harder mobs," but not really "elites."

Nope. 71 now, though. Exams are over on Wednesday, and then I'll make some serious progress.
