Who
The DPS Team (Dudes with Pointy Sticks) is a casual 10-Man Raiding group, initially formed by Dreadknotty. Roebeast currently does the run invites. We have no real head, each of us has an equal voice on how the group runs and what we are doing.
We are also a casual group, meaning that we're not hardcore about progression. If it takes several weeks to down a boss then it takes several weeks, we're in it to have fun playing together. There are also weeks where we're not able to fill the group for a qualified Raid so we settle for filling two 5-mans for Heroics, and we don't mind this. We're serious players of our classes, but we're also serious fun seekers over hardcore this-game-is-my-life style of Raiding.
When
We run Wednesdays and Sundays at 10pm (SVR), and try to start by 10:15. We now run the weekly raid quest and do the last boss of VoA on Tuesdays at 10pm, we occasionally need alternates for this one.
Loot
We use Need or Greed for loot. You get to roll Need if it's for your main spec, Greed for your off spec. If you can't use it you don't get to roll, if everyone passes we roll 1-100 (low roll wins) and they get either the item or the shard. If there is any loot abuse, Yorthae takes over as a grumpy loot master and things get complicated.
Goals
Have fun, see content, have fun
Progression
We've cleared 10-Man Naxx, and have nearly cleared Ulduar (the final boss is giving some trouble). We've also cleared (in a single night one-shot) 10-man Trial of the Crusader. We're currently in ICC, with plans to go back to Ulduar one day and finish it. Check out our progression on the Wiki's progression page [2].
