Seems somewhat absurd for Heroic, especially since "intended" gear level is probably lower than what we have now. I really doubt Heroic was intended to use damaga reduction/+hp for every single strike.
Not only that, but quickly checking logs, it seems there's barely any difference if there are 10 people soaking or 15 - they still get hit for 3.5 mln. It's as if the hammer doesn't properly split between larger amount of people and instead does more total damage per hit. By that logic, it makes more sense to let tanks solo soak and res them if they fail, rather than risk death because constant ticking damage reduced people to 89% and they get one shotted.
And the damage is already crazy during the first smash, where nothing happens yet and all the players can soak, so "people need to learn the colors hurdur" does not apply.
