I was doing my shaman's epic 1.0 this weekend, and was lucky enough to obtain the child's tear with a minimum of camping/hassle. In fact the longest part of it was camping that annoying courier in CoM.
Anyhoo, I turn in the Tear to Rak'Ashiir, and I get "Your faction standing with Truespirit cannot possibly get any better" accompanying his dialogue. Neato. So I kill him, loot the scale, then head to EJ. I hand it to the Spirit Sentinel in the pond, and he gives me the appropriate dialogue, except accompanying it is "Your faction standing with Truespirit got worse." (emphasis mine, of course)
So now he cons indifferent to my shaman, and if I try to advance the dialogue, he just says "You need to prove your dedication to our cause before I can discuss such matters with you."

Just sent in my petition; I'll post whatever happens with it (if anything). But be warned if you're about to do the same thing.
