Raiding Alliance

At the moment we're in a bit of a vacation period with my guild.

We haven't raided any T6 instances in a long while because we never seem to be getting the healers we need (damn healers!), so we are starting an alliance with another guild, Divine Vengeance. That guild was a very famous one back on Nax days, but now they seem to have completely lost the head-start they used to have.
They are in fact worse geared than us, or in most cases, fully PVP geared, which shows they don't really raid. There used to be a time where they farmed SSC/TK, but when I checked they only had one real tank, so I'm guessing it must've been a long while ago.
Anywho, I'm not a big fan of raiding alliances. In most cases, there's drama and conflict around every corner. We used to have a raiding alliance when we started doing Gruul, but it went so poorly it really didn't last long. Ironically, when we destroyed the alliance we started doing very well on progress, and we went way faster than the other guild (not that it was a competition), which means they were holding us back.
Unfortunately, that's also the case with Divine Vengeance. They have some great guys, but they're really not ready for T6 instances, and even if they were, we would have to relearn all the MH/BT boss encounters to be able to do em with them.
The good thing about this alliance is that it will allow us to at least raid some T5 content, which is better than nothing. But since I already have all I want from T5 instances and I've done them way too many times, I'm thinking of switching main to my shaman for the time being, as I enjoy healing in raids with her. She should do fine for T5 as she has all the gear from Karazhan and Gruul. All I need is T4 chest and a necklace!
Cya later chumps.
