Marrowgar went simply enough, bone spikes went down very fast. I am ashamed to have nearly caused a wipe in the last 15% by pulling aggro after Whirlwind (one more difference in the fight to keep track of now that I'm DPS). Still, 7.5k DPS on 10-man, woot!

Deathwhisper erased all the time we saved on marrowgar, taking nearly 45 minutes. We had DPS way too slow on adds, Shaedine disconnecting, Wodar missing adds. Hunters did great DPS on the shield, but we had to switch them with Dechala to get more deeps on adds.
Here I noticed Wodar's biggest tanking problem: He sticks too hard to his assignment. When I tank with Shaedine, we pull whatever's closest, and we keep all the adds under control. First attempt with Wodar, he and Shae fought over two adds while the third killed people. So I assigned him to 1 add while Shae took the other 2; when DPS was slow and two waves spawned, or Shae lost aggro, Wodar stuck stubbornly to his add and didn't pick up the loose ones.
After a while of Fanatics running around killing people, Wodar would go and taunt one... usually the same one Shae was on. Basically, he and Shae just don't work together as instinctively as myself.

Gunship Battle went fine, of course, being the ridiculously easy fight that it is. I managed to jump on the enemy ship after it went down, and sailed away into Icecrown, before being despawned to an alternate universe that I had to be summoned back from. At this point Rawlin got all pissy over loot and refused to Need anything for the rest of the night, on the grounds that I don't like him or something. o_O

Saurfang went surprisingly well, after Deathwhisper's fiasco; two wipes and we downed him, I think. Not only that, we downed him without a single mark being cast (as opposed to our other best attempt, in which Zelnick vanished the first mark). I think tanks got better at switching, and DPS got better at taking out hounds fast and getting back on the boss. Possibly we happened to be more spread out, reducing rage gained from Blood Nova.
Also, I noticed that Power Word: Shield by itself doesn't fully absorb the blood DoT. But, if I barkskin while I have it, then I don't take a single tick =D Other classes should use what defenses they have, paladins at least can Hand of Protection people.
What dropped? Cloth bracers, which pug Gizmogearbob won... Shironi wanted them, and Gizmo had "ninja'd" a staff in last week's raid, but I decided from his story that it was more of a misunderstanding.
My trinket from Deathwhisper dropped, but I gave it away to mity after the fight yesterday (over Blood Council or Rotface). Possibly a mistake, since it doesn't seem to have helped anything. Still waiting on the belt, before I just buy the Frost Emblem one. We didn't disenchant anything this run, thankfully.
Saturday we'll try our luck on Rotface. Hopefully Shae's internet is fixed, 'cause I want him kiting slimes (don't trust Wodar to do it right). I predict a few wipes at first, as people learn to cope with the AoE and kiting. We should be good as long as the Main Tank and Healers don't get slimes. If they do... Aleon can heal while running, but won't be as good at kiting. Shiro can probably kite, but he's limited to pretty much PW:S at the time.
