Spine 10 help! (HC, with logs)

[madmessias]

So yea, just did some trys on spine heroic, was pretty insane, so got some questions.
logs: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...pes&boss=53879
We solotanked it with a dps DK tanking the amalg, wen't ok, sometimes he got gibbed when he got the healingdebuff.
Other tank is protpaladin.
So mainproblems were ofc the Tendon dps, we had loads of wipes when it was under 5% so just need the little extra bit to get it down, any tips? Using 6x dpsers we figured it should go down easy but yea, no

Also, the dispelling.. how do you handle it? Just spam dispel whenever it goes out, and when it goes friendly u stop? We did wait abit sometimes cause the healer was busy healing, but that not possible or what?

Spine is a 2 tank, 3 heal fight. If you're struggling to kill a tendon with 6 DPS, you won't get close with 5. :S

Your shadow and Warlock are underperforming on the Tendons. They should check out the class forums here, there should be a thread about spine.
If the good debuffs expires, the person gets a buff with 10% dmg reduction which stacks two times in 10man. So you should dispell it at first to your tanks, than to the healers/cloth classes. You can dispell it as much as you want, it wont change back into the bad one, the tooltip in the DJ is wrong.

Some general tips:

The damage requirement for Burning tendon is insane. Our SPriest was underperforming quite heavily untill he got 4piece bonus. Between tendons, he was basically only mindflaying to get shadowfiend back for each tendon. The VP trinkets are of huge benefit on this fight since it's 1.5 minutes between each tendon phase.
We also had 2 bloodlust classes. We used bloodlust on the first tendon phase, and we also used another bloodlust on 3rd tendon phase (tendon #2, first explosion), (bloodlusted Shadowfiend is a massive dps boost for SPriest). By doing this we also get a bloodlust at the last tendon phase (tendon #3, second explosion). Remember to wait with mindblast cast after your mindspikes. It's a dps loss to use mindblast immediately after the mindspikes since you won't have 3 orbs for the mindblast, e.g: spike, spike, spike-blast. Between the 3rd spike and blast, wait 1 second for the orbs.

The other classes I can't help much. One thing that helped us alot was to use a protection warrior instead of paladin. The mobility and burst threat of warrior tanks are of great help when you're at the third plate and wants to start kite.

Hey so like other people have said:

1. you Need 2 tanks, the guilds who did it with 1 and a half tanks (dps as a tank for alittle) makes the fight much harder and was only needed when you were at spine hc after a couple of resets due to dps gear.

2. your 2nd tank only need to tank after the 2nd plate is off (so after 4 tendon phases). He sometimes has to tank for 10secs after a tendon when u aoe the bloods so the amagaltaion does not instant eat them.

3. What xonnex said about bloodlust is right and wrong. you can use bloodlust on the very 1st tendon but you shouldt, thats by far the easiest tendon to get down and you should be BLing on the 3rd plate 1st tendon (tendon number 5). as the very last tendon can get very messy.

4. On you logs i see you try to keep trying to kill the 1st tendon even if you dont get it in 2 trys. After 2 amagaltons and 2 tendons phases, if its not dead just wipe and try again. tecnically you can do the 1st plate in 3 tendons if healers have no mana problems but the other plates you have to do in 2 tendon phases

Tanks: we used 2x Feral Tanks (our normal tank setup) Main tank Stam Gems + Stam trinkets, Off Tank Agi Gemmed + DPS Trinkets.
The off tank will be able to dps the 1st 4 tendon phases with out tanking anything so can do what ever the class is to do more dps.
Th Main Tank will also be able to DPS the 1st 4 tendons but will be tanking bloods/amagaltions at the same time
BL on the 5th tendon to make up for the offtank having to tank and the healers having to heal.
The 6th tendon should then be around 30% when it comes up and then it just hoping tha tevery1 survived that last explosion from the amagaltion
