2 tanks
2 healers
6 dps
DPS requirement is about 235k rdps. We're pretty much on that level atm.
2 people need to soak Hour of Twilight each time
Some classes can soak 2 consecutive HoT as they have abilities which mean they take no damage:
Rogue - CloS + Fenit
MM Hunter - Deterrence + Readiness reset for another Deterrence
Paladin - DS + DP
Fire Mage - IB + Cauterize
Others like shadow priest can soak 1 (e.g. dispersion)
HoT - 3 teams of 2 to soak in rotation, or less if we use double abilities
Fading Light is nasty on tanks, immediate taunt needed
we should use shamans for healing they can use fire elementals and searing totems to give some extra damage to boss while still healing whit full capasity. 235k raid dps is preeeeetty much =)
also the video dont say anything about the 2xhero use. the healer will use heroic will when fight starts and use hero for dps and tanks. use hero again at 5:00 for healers.
Last night we ran 3 groups to soak with a reserve:
Group 1: Hal & TL
Group 2: Whytee & Leggs
Group 3: Hubbah & Incendia
Reserve: Tessy
Rotation seemed to work fine.
DPS seemed to be on track for a kill before enrage (healers exited shadow realm immediately upon fight start, time warp popped whilst healers in other realm to buff dps only, tank CDs reset as buffs applied, resto shaman heroism planned for end of fight for healers)
We let ourselves down with a bunch of individual errors:
-clicking button late
-lag causing button error
-me forgetting to dispersion once when soaking(!)
-failing to have 2 people soak (once)
However on the majoroity of tries we also lost a main tank, so we'll really need to focus on keeping them alive and for the tanks to hit the right buttons and the right time! We can solve 80% of our wipe initiator problems if we get this bit right!
All in all some good tries and we can clearly see we're on track for another kill this reset.

I think we had (atleast) 4 wipes because of this.
2 of them was at the very beginning of the fight, as both me and Tessy were in shadow realm. 2nd one was on one of the later tries and could have been avoided with taunts.
1 of them was on Whytee where he entered shadow realm on low health, as Tessy explained. Healers bad (me aswell obviously, didnt even notice that health drop >.<).
1 of them was on Hal, where I really didnt pay proper attention, and just... lost him. He got BR'ed and died again due to pressing button at the wrong time.
The good part is.. None of the errors/mistakes was repeated. Means its just a matter of a few more tries before we dont do anythin stupid, and just burn him down.
A few wipes was due to my awsome lag spikes i got like 2 times every try wich did not matter in between the "press button now" but for some reason i got it a few times exactly on the time i had to push.. wich irritated me ALOT.
Im still downloading the game but as i said im at work again till late tonight and have to start early again tomorrow.. so im not sure if the download will be finished before the next raid.
Anyway, i hope i dont have this problem again next raid and im sure its a 1shot.

Hal got critted... that lead to his death.
Any thoughts on this? Seems like it was only once during the whole night.

that is really strange slush since I cant get critted in tanking spec, the only thing I can think of that is allowing me to be is if we had called a wipe and I sat do die faster, that is the only way I can get critted when I'm tanking
DEFEATED for RGW 07/05/2012
