As the end of Cataclysm approaches and we spend less than a full night farming Dragon Soul each week, I thought it would be fun to look back and remember how it used to be when RGT first killed Heroic Dragon Soul content and compare it to how well we do today. Courtesy of our logs here's some fun fight length stats comparing first kills to fastest kills:
3 Jan - HC Morchok - 7 min 11 sec (cf 2 min 05 sec last night)
24 Jan - HC Yor'sahj - 10 min 00 sec (cf 4 min 35 sec fastest)
14 Feb - HC Ultraxion - 5 min 36 sec (cf 3 min 27 sec last night)
19 Feb - HC Zon'ozz - 6 min 04 sec (cf 3 min 49 sec last night)
04 March - HC Hagara - 8 min 09 sec (cf 3 min 55 sec last night)
01 April - HC Blackhorn - 7 min 19 sec (cf 5 min 41 sec last night)
08 May - HC Spine - 11 min 35 sec (cf 10 min 09 fastest)
29 May - HC Madness - 14 min 38 sec (cf 13 min 59 sec last night)
It's fun to see the improvements we have made over the months, not just due to gear, but also due to getting it right and operating so smoothly as a team, so a big thanks to all DMR's RGT raid members for our success in Dragon Soul!
We can also rejoice in finally starting to get through the last of the meta achievements for the Glory of the Dragon Soul Raider (http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=6169) achievement. We've still got a few more people to get through, but I'm confident the bulk of the raid group will complete the achievement and get the flying mount reward (Reins of the Twilight Harbinger (http://www.wowhead.com/item=77068)) before we stop raiding Dragon Soul content.

Congratulations to Puja, Hubbah, Jesung & Teaell for completing the achievement and getting their mount last night! :thumbsup:
It would help us if RGT members could post up which achievements you have left to complete. We can't promise to get them all before we move on to MoP raid content, but within reason we'll do our best!
Most of RGT have now also won a flying mount now from the Madness encounter. I think we just have 3 more kills to get and everyone should have either the Life-Binder's Handmaiden (http://www.wowhead.com/item=77069) or the Reins of the Blazing Drake (http://www.wowhead.com/item=77067) mount.

Cataclysm has been great raid content for DMR, so it's fantastic to see the rewards coming back for the efforts that have been put in since Dragon Soul was launched. Roll on Mists of Pandaria!
