I'm Getting So Close

I knocked out the daily quests and then ended up questing in and around the shadow vault in icecrown. I will at some point need to at least get revered with Ebon Blade but I'm so focused on that drake that I can see nothing else. I was pretty tired so I came within 3 1/2 bars before I hit the elite level of 80. I could have hit it within an hour of play but decided to hold off because I was so tired last night. I also came to realization that to be an effective dps'er and healer that I'm going to need to carry two sets of gear. Maybe I knew this all along but this is the first time that it actually clicked in my head. The gear will come it's just going to be a two-front war.
