Fire Resistance Fad
I know I am not the only person to notice the current fire resist gear fad and I am positive that Arthas is not the only server experiencing it. If you have been to the Auction house lately you will have noticed that any piece of equipment with fire resistance is so incredibly high priced its like ordering your jewelry out of a Tiffany's catalog.
It's not a mystery and the reason is pretty straight forward. Demand. End game instances of UBRS, MC, and BWL have created so much demand for Fire Resist gear that rings that maybe sold for a couple of gold now sell for 200 Gold or more. For the Rogues its especially crucial. There is no place to hide from Fire AOE's when you have to be up Ragnaros' butt crack.
You shouldn't have to spend the money for your epic mount on fire resist gear though. RogueSpot plans to help with that. Everyone wants a couple of +15 FR rings but before you go buy that overpriced crap on the AH check out Shadowpanther's compiled list of Fire Resist gear for rogues. The guide is very well done as it contains links on all the items to thier respective thottbot pages.
To get you started though go pick up a set of Volcanic gear. Get the leggings, breastplate and shoulders. There is close to 20 FR on each piece. Next finish your Onyxia key quest. The neck piece will give you +10 FR. Do a DM Run with a friendly rogue or solo it I believe Ming covers that in his Advanced Money Runs. You want to get the Felhide Cap from DM. Do a couple of UBRS runs with your guild or friends and pick up a Wildfire Cape for +15 FR. You can also grab some Flamescarred Shoulders for 10 more. Thats +73 FR right there. While 73 may not be enough for Rag its a good start, the rest can be obtained through quests and raiding.
The key of course is to keep your AEP as high as possible while outfitting yourself with a good set of FR gear. I keep my FR gear in a bag in the bank and just swap out one of the bags in my backpack when its time to raid. It saves me picking through gear or missing something.
You should be aware though that the current pricing is simply a fad. Either that or we are all in trouble. If you want to be smart start building all your resist suits NOW! Start working on a Shadow and Nature resist suit as well as one for the other resistances. Collect it while its cheap. The demand for resist gear will change month to month as new instances are added that stress other types of resist gear. The most important thing is not to cash in your life savings for one lousy +15 FR ring.

I was just woundering... are there any known plans for endgame instances where +resistance gear will be needed, besides +fire resistance gear? are there any end game instances that curently require other than +fire resistance gear?
Nothing has been publicly stated but I find it hard near impossible for all future instances to remain fire based. Northrend? Im thinking Frost... The new zones in Sithilus I heard rumors of Nature. A couple of years down the road expect dungeons that work all your resistances or more then one.
My guesses:
Silithus Instances- You'll notice that on the tier 2 sets that fire resist and nature resists are the big resists. The new leatherworking patterns in Silithus are also heavy in nature resists.
The shadow resists on the new plate recipes I think will be useful for the next step in Stratholme, the Necropolis.
