Like yourself, I typically get one per drain, and it always seems to be right at the end of the damn spell! Fricking annoying! I don’t find shards especially easy to come by either.

There is no other way to look at it. I'm not even sure about the whole "Shards are easier to come by" idea either. Usualy I'll get one shard for a full 10 second cast of drain soul. ONE friggin shard, getting two is rare, getting more than that is bloodly unheard of. Being limited to 10-15 shards used on a boss fight (including all the pre-pull uses like summoning demons, players, healthstones, soulstones) feels very limited. I just started raiding with wrath and I was getting into deep destro for the first time as well. Throwing a conflag followed up with the 30% shorter cast times of chaos bolt and a soulfire would burn through shards, but it was a blast to see the damage. Now I can't carry enough shards to get through half a boss fight with a rotation like that. I agree, the shard limit sucks. There is no other way to look at it.

That usually makes me feel slightly more evil. I understand the small, roleplay-like nuances that accompanies WoW gaming. I mean, most of us play WoW like it is a game, not an RPG, but we still have some want for continuity between how badass we feel and how badass we want our toons to be. As an example, on my hunter, I still use a quiver, just so I can see that badass stack of arrows on his back. Also, a big pet peeve, recently, would be that I am now subjugated to playing as a survivalist rather than a beastmaster. I seriously miss my big-ass t-rex. <abbr><em>Zeblues last blog post..<a href="http://evan.phenixblue.com/wp/2009/05/daily-verbiage-42-crapudiatiotastic/" rel="nofollow">Daily Verbiage #42 - Crapudiatiotastic</a></abbr></em> I usually just take one of my baby harp seals out of its cage and beat it to death as an example to all the others that are watching.
