Thread for the discussion of the Heroic version of this encounter.

Main differences:

Qiang:
Dispel Impervious Shield (dps do not kill yourself before this is dispelled!)
2 walls of Flanking orders at same time
-hunter/mage/priest/shaman/hunter pet

Subetai
Sleight of Hand - can be stunned to stop use of ability - otherwise if you hit him your armour, damage & healing all go down by 50% for 30 seconds.
Sleight of Hand lasts for 8 seconds, chain stuns for that duration.

Note:
Next Boss arrives when previous boss is at 30%, so we will have to deal with 2 bosses at a time.
Aim to time the transitions to 30% to avoid multiple major abilities + use CDs to burn through 30-0% to get back to 1 boss.

Useful macro to watch debuffs on 2 bosses:

Bump for next reset for RGT.

Fun boss.   Get used to Volley>Annihilate & pillage in quick succession.

[Ammon]

the first transition, Quiang to Subetai is apparently the hardest one in the event according to a friend of mine. (Momento)

[TeaLeaf]

Yep, I think we'd figured that too!

Some interesting class specific tips nicely summarized here:

Im thinking about Puja's suggestion.. And I somehow have this feeling it would benefit the raid more than doing it the way we are now. "Left, right, back a little". This tend to get slightly confusing.
Yes, im aware that we have done this part perfectly already, but Im glad I have spirit wolf form to avoid Flanking Orders.

Here is a tips/tricks video, and I do think we would benefit from raid marks in the corners..

And yes, Ammon; 1st transition is supposedly the hardest.
