WOW-There is an 8 Man Gruul's Lair (video anyway)

At www.warcraftmovies.com and search for 8 man Gruul.The guild was a Euro Horde bunch named Adult Swim.Hard to tell if its real or not.You know how most wow video looks.If true,its an impressive achievement. If true.
I haven't seen the video as I am at work. However ... 1 healer, 1 tank and 6 dps. Perhaps 7 or 8k DPS maximum. You wouldn't have a problem with shatter so I guess that would be helpful. I just don't think with that DPS you possibly could down him before he hits enough grows to wipe the tank.
It is a curious question, though, isn't is. Suppose you had 8 players completely decked out in T6, max gem, max enchant, et al, equipment, what could they accomplish? Heck, the difference in KZ now and a few months ago is enormous. I remember back when someone suggested that they could clear Kara in 3.5 hours and people here scoffed at the idea, calling it unrealistic. Now, some have seen and we've discussed KZ clears of under 3 hours.
For better or worse, WoW is a LOT about the gear. Unskilled players with good gear can go quite far in this game. Truly capably folk, though, with impressive gear can do some amazing things.
Whether or not 8-man Gruul's is one of these cases, I don't know.. but I can't discount the possibility. I know I've 1-healed Kara, been in 4-man heroics that cruised through, PUG KZ runs of under 3.5 hours now, and some charge through heroics of incredible speed (30 min Ramps, 41 min SP, 54 min Bot, etc). And I am only modestly geared.

Yeah, good stuff. I actually watched the video the day before our first successful Gruul kill -- it made for good inspiration.
