What class are you? I'm guessing that if you're the only one, a pure dps?
If that's so, your dps should still be competitive enough that both you and the old raider are able to raid together in 25 mans.
Certainly, that should be the case and I haven't seen anything that suggests that it shouldn't be, in every 25 man there has to be more than one of most classes anyway.
If you're pulling sub-par dps, try going to the spec that pulls the most dps currently, read up on your class as much as possible, and then go back into the raiding scene with more dps, and hopefully enough to persuade the GM and Officers you are a valuable member of the raiding core.
Also, this old raider returning could be a great chance for you to improve as well. Learning from other players is a valuable experience for any player, whether it be from Elitest Jerks, a veteran on these forums, a guild member or somebody from a top guild on your server, as they improve your playstyle dramatically with tips and general advice
i.e.
Going from Sub to Assassination for a rogue could yield as much as 10k more dps when Assassination is played correctly.
(Not pulling these numbers from the sky, look at
this)
That website shows;
The Median of Assassination to be 20522.
The Median of Subtlety to be 11220.
My calculator says thats an
increase of 9302, just from re-speccing.
