Use 8 of these to make a single [Obsidium Block]. Once you have 10 [Obsidium Blocks], make a rectangle out of them, grab a fire mage to set fire to it, and we will finally have access to the Twisting Nether!
Oh wait... Obsidium... Wrong game.
Just for clarification, matoh is comparing WotlK and Cataclysm bars according to their rarity. There is no direct link between them.
