Any chance of a Cata 5-mans/heroics sub-forum?
It would be good if we could have a sub-forum devoted to Cataclysm 5-mans and heroics. There is a 5-man/heroics sub-forum now, but it is under a "classics" heading and pretty dead. (It could always be moved out of that heading, I guess.) An alternative home for new posts would be the "general strats" sub-forum but that is not a very obvious place to look. Without a dedicated forum, a fear posts might be dispersed across the general discussion forum, the 5-man/heroics classics one and the general strategy one.
I know there are not many (7?) new 5-mans and that this community tends to focus on raids (which also need a new sub-forum for Cata). However, it sounds like the gearing up for raids through 5 mans, then heroics, might be a less trivial process than we were used to from Wotlk. If the content is not enough to justify the new sub-forum, it could always be merged into another at a later date.
If staff don't want to create a new forum, a steer for where to post would still be helpful as I suspect people will want to talk about them soon.

I'm not sure how much strategy discussion there will be about the 5 man encounters. Other content regarding them is merely "what gear should I get to move through them", and that goes in the gear sub forum. (Indeed, I think more than half the content in the gear sub forum relates to five-man content.)
Five man strat -> General strat forum (maybe with a subtitle that mentions dungeons?)
Five man gear -> Gear forum

I'll chime in and support econ's suggestion for a dedicated 5-man Cata section. Probably as a sub-forum to General Strat.
During the coming month it'll be what us (scrubs like me or marginally better) second and third tier tanks see. After that I guess raiding guilds will have their raiding in order, which should see their alts raiding in PUGs. At that time the sub-section could pretty much be considered an archive for old content, only to get upgraded when someone identifies a major change from a patch.
Gear dropped should, as Digren said, be handled in the gear section.

We don't have t11 raid forums either yet, which would be great.

Both are being looked into now for you, more news to follow about them from a higher power.

So much for putting you on a pedestal, sir.
