In WoW.joystiq.com/tag/patch-4.0.1/”>patch 4.0.1, Blizzard will roll out a new “flexible raid lock” system in Icecrown Citadel and The Ruby Sanctum. This system has a few major changes in it, outlined below:

• You are no longer locked to the raid upon zoning in, but to a specific boss kill.
• You are no longer locked to a specific raid size or group.
• Heroics have greater restrictions placed on them.
• All Wrath raids will use this system once Cataclysm releases.
• All Cataclysm raids will use this system.
• This only applies to raids and not to normal or heroic dungeons.
