Ohh, Bornakk. I know where Zul'Aman is trust me, I have cleared that horrible place many times now and have yet to get the needed drops.
Going on kill # 20 on the Bear boss, and the plate helm has not dropped yet. Probably kill # 15 on Lynx and the shoulders have not dropped either. As well, the 15th kill against Malacrass and no plate healing waste.
Only luck I have gotten is the healing shield off DragonHawk, which was on first kill.
I think I even made a post about how bad the distribution of drops are for each boss. I am sure Akarai of Veritas will agree with me as well.

Q u o t e:
Here's a thought... maybe tune ZA to actually be playable with a Kara guild without requiring the tank to grind out 200+ badges to finish his 'set' first, instead of bored 25-man guilds.
God forbid you have to run a couple heroics to close the difficulty gap between Kara and ZA. Badges rain from the rafters in Kara now as well. It's really not hard.

Q u o t e:
Zul'Aman is extremely hard on guilds using Badge / Kara / Heroic gear, though.
Zul'Aman is deader than a fish in the desert.
When we head in there - we are the only 10 people in the place. The last time we went in late last week was the first time I ever saw another group in the area...... and they looked like they might have been pugging it. It is NOT for kara/heroic-geared people.
Near as I can tell - the only people who have gone in there are the advanced raiding guilds going in to say they did it because they certainly didn't need the gear. (Even then I've heard some horror stories from BT-geared 10 mans wiping repeatedly) Farming the first boss for bears every so often seems to be the extent of ZA raiding.
Our 10 man teams are well geared kara-clearing teams...... we go in there and wipe on the trash (several times sometimes) and 1-shot the boss.
It's a shame ZA got a bad rep - the boss fights are great...... but the stupidly designed trash on the way there just sucks the life out of it. (WTB devs who don't make raid dungeons designed for people in plate with no mana pool............)
Don't worry though.......... Blizz will do what it always does and nerf the crap out of the place about 2 months after introduction..... once the hardcores have had a chance to get their epeen on.

Q u o t e:
We currently don't have plans to implement new Badge of Justice gear. If you are missing some pieces to form your "set", Zul'Aman is -->
You don't know how hard it is to go in that place when the bear head shoulders are mail and the bears in there have awesome armor while my bear form looks like it did at level 10. You really don't how much it disappoints me.
Best part about being a druid is you don't know how well geared they are till they shift out.
