Cluster Clutch

This rogue-only quest is the eighth part of the chain to obtain the legendary dagger set Fangs of the Father. It requires multiple runs of the Dragon Soul raid.
==Objectives==
Collect 333 Shadowy Gems by looting Elementium Gem Clusters from creatures in the Dragon Soul Raid encounter.
* Shadowy Gem (quest item) (333)
==Description==
The daggers I have given you are lifeless shells. They can do great things, once they are given a means to contain the power I have in mind.
I need for you to acquire Shadowy Gems for me. The facets of these unusual stones are like windows into the infinite. They are often used by minions of the Twilight's Hammer to control the most powerful of elementals.
A great battle is raging around Wyrmrest temple. Collect Elementium Gem Clusters from Deathwing's minions and bring the gems to me.
== Rewards ==
You will receive: 
==Progress==
How many gems have you collected?
Are my father´s minions as twisted as him?
==Completion==
Ah, do you see how they shimmer? Many fine gems sparkle in the light, but only these seem to sparkle with darkness.
I´ll perform an enchantment on these while you are on your next mission.
Are you ready?

== Notes ==
* Bosses drop one Elementium Gem Cluster in 10-player normal or Heroic, and one to three in 25-player normal or Heroic. No Clusters drop on the Raid Finder difficulty. Each Cluster can be opened to reveal 3-9x Shadowy Gem (quest item) contained therein.
* An Elementium Gem Cluster is not quest loot, and will not be duplicated for all eligible recipients; such recipients will have to determine who wins each drop as with any other item. Only rogues completing this quest or its eventual followup Sharpening Your Fangs need and are able to loot them.
* If a rogue completes full Dragon Soul runs under ideal conditions (25-player modes, as the only person in the raid looting each Elementium Gem Cluster), theoretically it could take anywhere from 2 to 14 runs to complete this quest. Such extremes are nearly impossible however, and on average 16 Clusters yielding 96 Shadowy Gems would be found each time, thus requiring four raids on different weeks to complete. Running 10-player modes - or splitting 25-player drops with a second rogue - 48 Gems is the usual average, resulting in seven runs expected to finish.
* Elementium Gem Clusters are also needed for [Sharpening Your Fangs later in the chain, so do not destroy excess Clusters, and do not hesitate to finish out a raid in which you have reached your 333 Shadowy Gem goal.
