Describe your choice of talents and why you've chosen them:
Shaman -
T1 - Landslide - 8% increase to agility when Rockbiter is used (uptime 100%), Hot Hand - can be an alternative assuming you have the legendary bracers.
T2 - Feral Lunge/Wind Rush Totem - Alternate between the both depending on the fight, 60% movement increase on fights everybody loves movement speed.
T3 - Lightning Cap - AoE Stun pretty self explanatory.
T4 - Ancestral Swiftness - 6% Haste, all Maelstrom gets dumped into lava lash to force proc 4 set T19 so no more hailstorm the talent is just counter-productive.
T5 - Tempest - Chance to proc Stromstrike x2 at a reduced cost, which is usually about 15-30% of our dmg.
T6 - Crashing Storm - strong in both single and cleave fights. Fury of Air - becomes the better of the two options at higher ilvl, does the same as crashing storm but requires a little bit of maintenance.
T7 - Ascendance - With its revamp in 7.2.5 its become an amazing burst CD which Enhancement really needed because its previous iteration was abysmal (lets give the shaman more maelstrom... which he cant physically spend!? due to the GCD cap /s).
Warrior(Arms) -
T1- Dauntless - Passive 10% reduction to rage cost of all abilities. Sweeping Strikes - Amazing for cleave and low target cleave situations.
T2- Double Time - An additional charge.
T3- Rend - Single target DoT which deals high dmg over 8 seconds. Trauma - Used when going for the cleave build
T4- Bounding Stride - Increased mobility.
T5- Titanic Might - Allows for a 100% uptime on on colossus smash and the ability to sustain it on multiple targets. Fervor of Battle - mostly used in more aoe centric fights which provides 80% increased dmg to the primary target and replaces slam as the filler... there are issues with this as it can lead to rage starvation which then leads to a lack of consistency compaired to Titanic Might.
T6- In for The Kill - 10% increase to haste whenever CS is used.
T7- Opportunity Strikes - Causes all melee abilities to proc to proc and deal moderate physical dmg based on the targets missing health and also generates 5 rage. Ravager - though replacing Bladestorm it provides some pro's and con's, Allows the continuation of your rotation inside the burst window and also provides extra rage but due to bladestorm scaling better with T20 2&4 piece it looses out on ST and if the tank decides to go walkies with the mobs after you've dropped it its at a complete loss, which makes it quite the context specific talent to pick.
How do you prioritize your stats and why?
Stat prio will always be based on my own sim's and its own priority but it usually follows:
Shaman: Agil>Mastery>Haste>Vers>Crit.
Agil = AP.
Mastery = increases all damage and has a chance to trigger Stormbringer and Windfury procs.
Haste = Increased attack speed and also reduces the CD on several dmg dealing abilities
Warrior(Arms): Stre>Mastery>HAste>Vers>Crit.
Str = AP.
Mastery = Not only increasing the dmg of Colossus Smash it also increases the damage to the target by an additional %.
Haste = Increases swing speed and also reduces the GCL on Mortal Strike alongside that it also reduces the channel time of Bladestorm.
What state is your Artifact in?
Warrior - Arms: 56, Fury 54, Prot 52 / Shaman - Enh 51, Ele 50, Resto 35.
Where do you acquire knowledge about your Class?
Mainly the discord channels Skyhold/Earthshrine and icy-veins along as its up to date with the current patch.

Yes.
We are raiding Sundays at start of each Tier for 3-4 weeks. Are you aware of it?
Yes.
Are you able to Listen and Speak on Teamspeak?
Yes.
What qualities do you bring to a Raid?
What do i bring to the raid, i'm flexible, range, melee healer i can pretty much do all. With multiple years playing cutting edge in various roles, with admitted breaks in-between over these years I've gone from a raid leader to an officer to just a simple raider or even an alt-raid casual due to real life complications or just due to an utter shit expansion... i'm dedicated and try to ensure I perform to the best of my capability with what i have available.
How comfortable are you playing your offspecs?
Warrior - Arms/Fury np, Prot i really only use for doing m+. Shaman - Enhancement np, Resto multiple years of cutting edge raiding as MS so yes no issues.
How do you feel about progression raiding?
Don't mind it, 500+ wipes on bosses np been there done that.
Where did you hear about Curse of Years and do you know anyone in the guild?
Previously applied as an Enhancement Shaman and Nagaash contacted me through wowprogress.
What encouraged you to apply to Curse of Years?
Previous applicant, Nagaash's PM.
Do you play outside of raid?
Yes, but usually only for the norm, WQ's,Farming,HC's/Mythics and AP.
Is there anything else you'd like to add to your application?
There is quite a high chance i will be going on holiday for 7-10 days in August 2017 (dates not specifically set yet) is this an issue with yourselves?
Tell us a joke:
My previous one mentioned Enhancement aoe... but T20 4 piece appears to of fixed that issue to an extent so erm i guess my legendary drop rate on my shaman 3 months dry but hey... let the grind continue.
