Instance leveling with 3.3

Most of us Level the same way, through questing. Most of that will change though with Patch 3.3, the knew LFG system will let you run instances with the same people that you do Battlegrounds with. This will allow you to sign up for an instance, wait a while, maybe quest here and there. Once there are 5 group members across signed up, you will be teleported away to the instance.

Some of us have been lucky enough to earn Dual Spec at lower levels. Such as myself, while i was questing in Hillsbrad i think, a Cat Carrier (Black Tabby) dropped. Later when i sold it on the AH, i had a big 1,200g sitting right there in front of me. I went over to the pally trainer and got dual spec. I am now a level 44 Prot / Holy Pally. Being Dual Spec has helped me finding groups and surviving in them. I know this has happened to all of us, right in the middle of an instance out of no where, someone drops out of the party and logs off. I dont know why but for me it always seems to be the tank or healer. If you are one of the few people non 80 that have dual spec and this happens to you, you will be the hero of your group. allowing your group to move on through the instance with little downtime from when the member dropped out.

With the new LFG system in 3.3 though, what if someone in your group drops out? does someone else in the LFG system come in or does Blizzard wish you luck with your 4 members? I myself would pick up someone else from the LFG system as soon as they are available, or even others in LFG system around that level but not signed up for that particular instance. If your group had downed, lets say 2 bosses before the extra person got in to the group, then that member would get compensated for an amount of gold depending on your level, for each boss downed. Note, this last paragraph has not happened yet, at least to my knowledge, its all in my imagination.

While leveling with Dual Spec, your gear is very important if your like me, having 2 completely different specs. If you were perhaps a Balance / Resto Druid you could probably use the same gear while leveling. So if you are like me, do you level up one spec from the quest rewards? or level up both specs with the quest rewards, choosing which item is most needed for either of your 2 specs. I myself has chosen the second option due to the amount that I do instances. It seems to be farely easy way to go, I do sometimes miss little upgrades here and there, but overall its going perfectly fine.

I will try and post some several little hints about different dungeons I have ran along the weeks, and even what dungeons are good for what class.
