So, I am trying to log in and it is telling me that ALL of the servers are offline. Thing is, my roomate is sitting next to me and he is playing on our server (The Fatman) with no problem. What's wrong with my connection?

I play a madness sorc and find myself constantly getting horribly brutalized by operatives and scoundrels. I have about 15k health and am in mostly champ gear, but I still find myself at 30%-40% health after the opener. Can't heal because it feels like they have too many interrupts, really have no idea how to handle them.
