Just want to thank you for your explanation of 2nd floor CoM. I got a group together for my epic fight about 30% into 54. That 30% was just awful; 4 or 5 lengthy KC groups, after doing 51-53 in KC so I was already really bored with it. I helped with reavers for another shaman, and by the time I had my epic I was 40% done with 54.

The last 60% of 54 and all of 55 at CoM second floor was faster than the first 30% of 54. The leveling was fun and challenging, as well as financially rewarding. I got 3 Master Wu's Trance Sticks and at least 1k in gems/jewelry. Not bad, considering exp was flying.

My only advice to add about CoM 2nd floor is to try and be conservative. 3 mobs at once is optimal, even if you can do 6. Adds tend to come at the worst possible time, and it sucks investing 4 minutes into 5 mobs just to have another come and force you to zone. Yes, you can time repops and pathers, but I found it easier to just stagger pulls so that I was grabbing a 4th after one of the first 3 was on the way out. I don't have a JBB, but I think it would have a lot of value here, because most mobs would end up at 0-1% hp and needed another enstill/epic. JBB would essentially have saved me 60 mana per mob, which obviously isn't a huge deal but it's not nothing.
