If you go to
Vorsik
's user page, you can see s/he hasn't logged on since late December, 2011. Because of this, it's not surprising they didn't respond to your attempts to contact them.
Given that you've already put in the effort to revamp the guide, you may want to publish it as your own and reference the original guide & guide writer somewhere to give credit. In the future however, it's probably best not to spend time doing something like that unless you know the writer is receptive to it - you don't want to spend all that time & then have it get wasted because (just like now) you can't actually apply it.

Well isn't playing WoW technically a waste of time?
I just did it because I felt like it.
Touche. And while I'm not saying you shouldn't help buff up guides for others, it may be a better way to spend your time if you know the work you put in will be used.

Hi Zeltchoron,
We've discussed this a bit in emails. I really wish I could have helped more but, alas, being someone else's work it would be unfair of me to alter it or for you to use large amounts of it without permission (even if we're pretty sure the original author would give that consent). Perhaps if you were able to significantly update and alter the content of the guide you could post it as a brand new guide but that's a fine line, especially given that we're all aware that the work really was used as the foundation.
The guide system is still relatively new so this is the first instance of this that we've encountered but my guess is we may well see more similar cases as we get closer and then move into MoP.
All the best,
-asakawa
edit: Okay, scratch that! I've talked to Ashelia and she thinks it would be okay to make this happen. If you can email me your updated version (to ) then I'll edit it into the existing guide and add a small acknowledgement that you made the update. I'll keep a copy of the current version in case the OP wants to return to the project themselves.(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

Nice annotation box at the top Asakawa. Looks mint as always!
Did you have fun with the coloring and formating Zeltchoron?
Cheers,
Hat
