Hey Bartacus!
If you are still looking, Hootenanny may be a great home for you! We are 5/12 M on a 1 night/week schedule, aiming for CE. We are looking to add a solid mage to the roster, and although we care about performance in terms of how best to kill a boss, we will never force anyone into a spec they hate.
Outside of raid, we have a great environment where our members group up together for m+, arenas, visions, etc. and we have a very active discord.
If you like what you see, please feel free to put in an application!
