i was talking specifically about heroic kil'jaeden, since that's what the OP was referencing, and on the numerous pulls we had, i was very regularly hit by focussed dreadflame/bursting dreadflame while having to also soak multiple large and small apoc explosions, which meant i was forced to use IB early to avoid taking the dmg from bursting/focussed dreadflame while still being able to soak the big apoc, on one pull i got targeted by shadow reflections, focussed dreadflame then right after a bursting dreadflame, and it happened a few times on the same pull.
as far as difficulty of playing the spec, i never said it was harder to play mage over priest, my point was that as a hybrid, you have the option of changing to another role and still be viable, if i can't put out the numbers needed with my main spec (which is the best spec i have at the time) then no amount of respeccing is gonna change that and i just won't be able to raid, and that also plays into the fact that priest is a hybrid, the reason that it is hard to play is because if it wasn't, there would be way too many ppl playing hybrid classes due to easy dps spec rotations that there wouldn't be any point to bring a pure dps outside of extremely niche class abilities to make mechanics easier to manage.
