RNG is a foul, cruel mistress indeed.
I always thought that things would be much better if you could pick and choose what drops off of a loot table. But then I realized that if that was the case, attendance would soon be an issue. Once people get all the gear they want, quite a few of them stop showing up until hard modes or until new content gets released, screwing the others who haven't got the gear they need.
IMO blizzard should do something similiar to what they did in Sunwell. Make items tradable so you can get 2 possible items out of 1 drop. I remember hoping for the holy paladin pants the first time I zoned into sunwell, knowing I could trade them in for some badass tanking pants.

That sounds like a decent idea. I just think SOMETHING should be done as to address the randomness of it. I mean each player should have some sort of tracker attached to them that the Blizzard servers can read and say "ok this guys is a tank, he's been here 10 times and hasn't got any tank drop, Everyone else in his group has recieved a drop for their spec for this fight, so this time we are going to drop a tanking item" You know? SOME SORT OF ORDER TO THE CHAOS.
I mean seriously that frostmourne axe has dropped so many times for my group, that everyone who needs it for their MS has it, everyone who needs it for their OS has it. Our DK has 2 of them for her OS, ugh it makes me sick how much everything else drops, the rest of my core team has mad gear from ICC, Tank drops are the rarest by far. One run through a few weeks ago, our Priest raid healer got a drop from every single boss in the first wing in one go. And the more I see tanks with 200 - 219 gear on walking around with that shield...the madder I get about it.

I had it drop the first time I went to ICC. Warrior tank outrolled me, but I got the legplates off Saurfang in exchange.

(But run #9001 in PoS and STILL no spellshield..RNG is telling me something. D: )
I helped a friend grind out that one. 27 attempts over 4 days. Makes me glad I will never go Holy.
Cheers,
Hat
