We tried it a bunch tonight like I said and the chain still happened. The lightning would hit the grounding as expected - but the chain would travel seemingly back towards the person who it original absorbed for, and also far bigger than it's normal range and chain the rest of us (we were grouped up under the assumption that grounding would just soak it and that's that, but it would always chain back to our group). We made sure that grounding was a good distance away from us too and the logs always showed the grounding taking the first hit.
Were we doing it wrong? We tried it several times tonight and just decided not to do it anymore as it was causing multiple diffusions since we were stacked, and just spread out like normal instead.

about 13:16 in, you can see the grounding totem is a good distance away from us (10 yards or so) and it causes the chain to happen to us anyway when we are clumped.
Also 41:39ish was the last time we tried it. We had grounding decently further from us, and it still caused the chain.
If anyone can look at those time stamp in the stream and tell us what we did wrong, I would really appreciate it.

Also question about transition 2 for those that have killed it.
Right now, my group is trying to do 2/2/6 for the second transition. We have -
Blood DK
MW Monk
Prot Pally
Rogue
Ele Shaman
Disc Priest
Shadow Priest
Moonkin
Hunter
Warlock
Anyone able to see if that works? Is the MW monk eligible for baiting overcharge into his quadrant or do I need to swap him with someone? Can someone suggest something better that might work for that comp? We didn't get to transition 2 a lot but I'm just curious if there's a better way to do it when we do get to it consistently. Thanks guys.
