It's ok if mages can only do it.
I haven't seen the fight, so I don't know the exact spawn locations, but unless the Monstrosity spawns miles away from the boss, the dot spreading is just natural DPS. If you've got a really nice Ignite and Combustion ticking on the boss pre-shield then it's always a good idea (regardless of encounter) to spread those dots to anything nearby for what is essentially free-DPS. Then switch to the Monstrosity and continue as normal.
It's not a bug. Just bad design
This is totally expected, right?

yep i seen this. we working working on the boss and suddenly the monstrosity went boom and lost half it's hp.
Evidently you managed to mis-interpret the actual way cleaves work in MoP (note: it was only Garalon where this wasn't working)
Direct copy/paste to Crithto (http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/2...normal-heroic/ - Second last post he made)
Basically, in Cata, whatever damage bonus/reduction you had on a boss applied to all cleave targets too. Now, it doesn't anymore. It takes the base damage you did before the target's damage multiplier/reduction, and applies that to each cleaveable target, before applying against their damage bonus/reduction effects.Originally Posted by Crithto
That is not what is happening here though.

Games are not necessarily "easier" today. You are just a better player.
It takes more now to impress many gamers than it did 2-5 years ago, because so much has already been seen and done.
Many players expect to be wow'd with every release of a beloved franchise.
These are generally NOT the fault of the developers, but the fault of many players over-hyping and/or setting expectations too high.
The bad design has been known since beta, we experienced in on the testing and even ticketed about the issue. Either blizzard are unsure whether they like it or not, its still in the game.
Actually, my point is that it's bugged - and thats why it goes insane. See Midwinter's video linked earlier to see how retarded this actually is.
If Garalon was derped up, there's no reason this boss can't either.
In any case - guess we'll gear some ring of frost-alts for Ambershaper, unless this is adressed. Anything else is just stupid, why bother with the hard phase.
