So I logged on my druid and told myself "ok, time to just try a random dungeon!" I queued up, selected Healer as my role, and in about 20-30 seconds (!!!) I was in The Nexus. Sure, it's supposedly one of the easiest Heroics, but it was all new to me.

The group leader was a paladin, and we had a warrior, a death knight, and a hunter as well. Turns out the pally was the group leader and tank, and he did really, really well. Now keep in mind this was the first time I was doing this dungeon, and I was the healer! We did really well. Destroyed the place, honestly. The only "ack omg" moment was when the pally was AFK and the DK decided to pull a boatload of trash and I nearly lost him. I didn't realize he was going to pull with the main tank and group leader AFK and so I had to get creative with keeping him up - but I did!

Given it was a random dungeon with a 100% pick-up group, the rewards were great - quite a few T9 set piece emblems. The new dungeon finder system is great - you can just queue up for a random dungeon, have just a short wait while a group is assembled for you, and once you're done, you get some nice rewards - especially for your first of the day, and especially if the group is 100% PUG.

I only had time for the one run, and so I left group after we were done and sent a tell to the pally apologizing for leaving them healer-less and he said it was no problem and also said "nice healing!" So, cool, my first heroic run, and I got complimented on my healing. It's experiences like that that'll keep me playing a class.

Now to fix my character's awful gear. My healing set really is bad... Heh.
