My old guild has responded and...

Well they turned me down, I wasn't given a reason but I can assume one of the following:
1) They already have enough Prot Pallies.
2) When I left the game before I just sorta dropped out, I honestly didn't give enough warning.
3) They don't want to be forced into taking me or my wife in order to get the other one.

I'm not sure why, and I'm honestly not too worried about it.

I've thrown myself into trying to raid with pugs, but it seems like there's an over-abundance of tanks lately. It's seemed easier to find a pug raid for my mage than it has for my tank, so he's been able to gear up better than my main.

Recently I've started playing my DPS warrior again, when I've finished what raids for the week. He had been leveled from 71 to 80 without going into instances. I'm sure you can imagine how poor his gear is as well as how poorly I can play him. I can usually maintain skill with 2 or 3 characters, but after that it falls off a little bit. My current talents lie in Prot Pally, Arcane Mage and Holy Priest. Anything else I play is just a button mash fest hoping to put out reasonable DPS.
