Just from raiding alone, yeah, a toon from back then would already have Hydraxian Warlords from Molten Core (if not Thorium Brotherhood because of the stuff that dropped in MC) and Brood of Nozdormu from running Ahn Quiraj 20 and 40.

Good point on AB though--and I think I hate it less than Warsong. ^^; Also, I have yet to see it, but my husband (who plays an alliance gnome on the same server I'm on now) *insists* that horde dominates AB on our battlegroup. Maybe I'll check it out during the next AB weekend.
