WoW: Stuck Between a Fire and a Dragon(wrath)

After a couple of days and many, many wipes (I think when I was done, I'd spent about 200 gold total on repairs), I managed to finish the solo portion of the legendary questing, then over the course of a couple of nights, the guild finished the next part of the quest and we're back to the long grind of looting boss corpses for fun and profit 1000 Seething Cinders, which on 10-man normal difficulty, will take seven to eight full clears. After that, there's 250 something-or-others plus the Heart of Flame that drops only from Ragnaros (who we've yet to down), a fight that, ironically, is going to be harder once we reach that portion on 10-man normal than it would be in heroic since I'll get stuck with an ugly debuff as I'm questing for the staff.

I've said over and over that, being I was the one selected to go for the staff first (and to get the guild achievement), I am willing to grind Firelands, which is decidedly not the funnest raid ever. However, the guild doesn't seem up for that. I mean, they say they are and they're making time for it in the schedule, but there's not as much enthusiasm and there's a real push to go on to Dragon Soul and finish it before the expansion gets here (even though that's months away at best).

At last night's raider's meeting, a compromise of sorts was suggested. Now, instead of just raiding Friday through Sunday, those willing to help out on the staff quest will go on Wednesday nights to Firelands, and on Saturdays. Friday and Sunday nights will be dedicated to Dragon Soul.
