One thing that has been a tradition in Blizzard games is epically delivered lines to go along with the story, be it "You are not prepared!," "Frostmourne hungers" or "BY FIRE BE PURGED!" Admittedly some have said that Cataclysm hasn't quite lived up to the previous standard, but I still want to know: what has been the best voice acting in Cataclysm so far? And good voice acting usually requires epic written lines, so you could say I'm also asking what the most epic lines in Cataclysm are.

I'll try to keep the results of the discussion updated here in this post.

So far (videos added where available):

Budd (12): "Ahoooy!! I'm saaaaaaailing!!!!"

Maloriak (11): "How well does the mortal shell handle extreme temperature change? Must find out! For Science!"
