Please provide more detailed information about yourself below
The first guild I was in for more than a few weeks was The Suramar Survivors. I left because I wanted to follow my friend Sharya and I didn't like how th guild master ran things. Then I joind Divine Intervention. This was the best guild I have ever been in, it was like a family, but it merged with Requiem and changed a lot. I left Requiem because at the time I wasn't playing WoW enough to want to clear the BC end game content. I created the guild about a month ago as a way for a few of my friends and I to connect in between more serious progression guilds.
I have some BC end game experience and I have finished the following WotLK raids. ToC, VoA, Ony, Maly, Ulduar, Naxx (a bit), and some lower raids that escape my mind at present.
I am applying to Damage Control to clear new content with players who want to utilize teamwork and good planning. I hope to raid in groups where every player gives 100%.
I am currently running ToC and VoA to improve my gear. Before that I did a lot of PvP and arena. My friend chrvin and I are running a lot together and we sometimes do pugs and often do heroics. At any given time I have the maximum allowable Dragon's Eye gems in my gear.
After reading the About Section I could not figure out what this means. If it means sitting out of raids sometimes and playing others then yes I am prepared to do that.
I have ventrilo but not a working mic.

I sometimes take breaks from WoW for months at a time. I get along well with others and have a bit of experience preventing conflict between people. I am happy.
Working mics are required for communication in heroic ICC.
You mention you sometimes take longs breaks from WOW for months at a time. This immediately throws up a red flag on your ability for commitment to the guild and progression. I'm sure others will nit-pick this more.
With the prevalence of ICC10 PUGs dancing around, you should have at least tried to get into one, or a PUG ICC25, to at least see what's going on with that instance and the mechanics of those fights. Simply doing ToC and VoA, while admirable to help gear up, is not optimal for endgame content anymore nor is it enough to really see the scope of how ICC works.
Even now, your first Toravon kill was just this past June 16th. Based on your character RSS feed, you took a long break from February 22 until May 28th.
You stated that you "hope to raid in groups where every player gives 100%." But you yourself also mentioned you take breaks from WoW for months at a time. How is that giving 100% to the guild/your group if you sort of just bail out when things don't interest you or you get bored of WoW? You mentioned as well that you left the game and didn't get to participate in any endgame T5 or T6 content in TBC because you were not playing enough.
Finally, you are 17. While we do have some younger-than-25 players in the guild, prior experiences have proven that teenagers still in high school (and yes, I know it's summer) are subject to parents, curfews, chores, homework, being on the East Coast in a West Coast-timezone-raiding guild, and other commitments that render them unsuitable for raiding in a guild. It's not meant to be a knock on your age or who you are as a person, but this could prove difficult to work around if all of a sudden you have to AFK during a raid for an hour because you forgot to mow the lawn.
Y'know, after reading his guild history, I realized we're kind of like a family.
Moldy's got a bitchin' dad voice
Jbean's very motherly.
I'm the drunk uncle.
Shiro's the uncle you don't hang out with alone.
