Mimara went on downhill spiral again after the upturn last time. Mostly because pugging as tank has just ended up as something that is not worth my time. And the guild has either +15 crowd or could get upgrades from normal dungeon characters with who currently plays it seems, so not really gonna get guild groups either. Will see if a new guild "meta" forms with so many people gone, taking breaks and whatnot.

Stormlufser has gone from strength to strength. While the loot improvements has dried up some being valorcapped and all, two 226 items that replaced 197 items kinda spiked the ilevel of the character, even though the stats weren't all that on them.
I was "randomly" asked to join a +15 Depths key last reset, ironically also doing that one with a guild group later that night. Stormlufser is now at 5/8 timed +15s, missing only Spires, Theater and Wake. In spite of me just goofing around in +6s to +8s in pugs with random talents when I play on my own, having made no effort to get to this point. Guess having a decent score this season will help getting into pugs as dps next season if I need to.
After Sire Denny was finally downed in the sunday raid, alts were allowed for the reclear. Not really surprising Alshah and Tara beat me on meters, but from what I can read back in logs from main raid my first badly played raid lead to better damage on 4 out of 6 bosses we did than my last couple of DH parses that I could find. With the better single target legendary and knowing what to actually do as opener I would most likely do better on all raid bosses in CN as elemental than havoc. Except Sun King, where I healed on shaman for the first time since... MC and ZG in vanilla.
Sun King on farm as healer is not really a good indication on actual healing however. But it was allright to get some form of idea of how bad my ui is for healing if I ever need to fill at some point, because this just wasn't working out. I tried moving frames around during the fight and such, but eh. Can't just rely on knowing hotkeys and keeping half an eye on cd uptimes and mostly looking at the action like I do when not playing healer.
Not really done much when it comes to maw and torghast since it's so unclear what happens in 9.1. But now that the ptr is out, there is some indication of how the crafting upgrades will be. And currently you dont need Soul Ash for the rank 5 and 6 upgrades, but since it's early on still chance to be dissapointed I can't skip Torghast however. But unless there are significant class changes coming up, having a rank 4 of the single target legendary for elemental at least seems like a good idea. Even getting the crafted item skilled up so I can make the base item myself when the patch is out, to save on gold.
Did not manage to do the Ulveblomst tank + Stormlufser heal combo the last few weeks, hopefully can be remedied at a later point.
Gearwise, a trinket (unbound changeling or the ooze one from PF would be ideal) and leggings are the last bits that are bad. Otherwise just need more valor to upgrade the rest.

Stormlufser kinda paved the way for doing more ranged dps stuff, and BM hunter feels like a perfect complement. No tanks dragging mobs out of earthquake, no mechanics making casters move during their cds to you drop like a stone on meters, just consistent damage. And changing from necrolord to night fae just made dps so much higher, to the point of the covenant balance is just an absurd idea.
I had help last reset, and did 2 +10s, in addition to me spamming enough +5s to +8s to get 3 vault options. After having the character be shortchanged the entire patch, I ended up with a 216 weapon that would be upgraded to 220 from the vault. And then the cube dropped in DOS +8, so could upgrade that to 220 as icing.
This reset I managed to get into a +10 somehow, so didn't need the help, which was kinda the goal here. Have some questionable pieces still, so need both valor and drops which makes just doing one more m+ for the reset tempting. So mostly been playing this character the last couple of weeks.
