Not everybody has the time to raid 5 hours a night to get the gear needed for snake. So don't come with your l2p comments, learn to live instead, there's other things in life than wow.

As for the rat i would recommend you take a full group with at least one healer and maybe one offhealer even. We managed to 4-man it much thanks to a horde that ran by and helped us out. Just make sure to never let main tank drop below 50%, some nasty burst damage. Also make sure you have a tank at least level 2, otherwise it will be hard. Good Luck!
