I think Osk and I killed Magister Kalendris (Dire Maul West) about 12 times and Grymorgan and I killed him about 8 times. The "Mindtap Talisman" http://www.thottbot.com/?i=35819 dropped on the 8th and 20th kill. Thottbot reports that it is a 5% drop rate but it dropped 10% for me, thankfully. It is good for a healer to use 2 of these trinkets for the longer fights where lasting mana is key. During these kills a paladin book (grats Grym) and a druid book dropped (pst Grym).
That now gives me 54 mana/5 sec (42 in plate only) in mana regen gear and along with the blessing of wisdom regen of 33 will give me 87 mana/sec. That is respectable for longer healing episodes such as those in 20 or 40 man instances such as ZG or MC.
I am still building a set of gear to solo Kalendris ... so stay tuned for that. This all started when I saw a paladin do that, and report it on the WOW Paladin forums. That requires 5000 health, 200 shadow prot, 5000 mana along with good mana regen, and alot of luck. It is a fight that lasts about 10 mins when you solo him ... at least in a way that you can outlast his damage while hitting him a little at a time.
Thanks again fellas!
