Not a problem, real life tends to hit people hard at the worst times. Hmm, from what it looks like, Tail Slap has 3 BAP per hit, and Technician increases that BAP by 1 for each hit. Due to Skill Link, it hits five times, so theoretically the calc would be.
[4*5+3 (STAB)+(1*#of critical hits)+(attack and defense calcs as normal)]=Total
Energy: 7+2-1=8
So there you have it. I'm not too experienced with reffing multi-hit moves unfortunately, so you may want to ask on IRC to confirm.
On a side note, I've finished my Central Processing raid with a success. As for our planned raid, I've actually set upon a goal to complete every raid on Normal to it's fullest extent, and as such I'd be willing to do any of Cliffs of Thunder, Frozen Vault, or Stormrage Depths. I would almost prefer the last of these, since the other two have quests associated with them that would force me to go back to them at a later time.
That said, it's your choice.
