Halfus- Horrible combinations

[Shirimasen]

Ok, so for our first week of raiding, we go in, stroll up to Halfus, and find ourselves confronted with what appears to be the most horrible combination of drakes, at least, for our gear level.
So, I ask you-
How the hell are we supposed to deal with nova, MS debuff, and frenzy at once, without either impossible raidwide damage, or impossible tank damage?

It seems that any other combination of drakes would be a breeze, with something like Whelps, nova, and pretty much any other of the drakes, but the combination we were stuck with it horrible!

As for group comp, we're rolling with Paladin and Warrior tanks, Druid, Priest, and Paladin healers, and hunter, mage, moonkin, warlock, dk for DPS.

Any tips, or shall we just leave it, and kill Argaloth, and work on BWD instead, until we either get a managable combination, or more purps?

There are a few threads about this specific setup already.

took us about 2-3 tries once we picked the right drakes. Storm+Nether. tanks just keep switching so there'll be 1drake+boss on a tank , and a tank with only a drake all the time. chain cds BL 10 seconds into the fight. keep your free action potions for furious roar and you should be good.

Just cleared it with combination of Storm, Nether and Slate.
Tanks: bear,warrior and paladin.
Healers: druid and holy priest.
Dps: UH dk, ele shaman, destro lock, survi hunter and shadow priest.

We had warrior tanking storm drake and bear and paladin rotating boss with HoP and Divine Shield reseting the MS debuff. We used BL to nuke Stormdrake down fast and then the tank who didnt have debuffs took Nether drake and 2 others kept rotating boss. Remember to keep elemental shaman all the time on Boss interupting EVERY Shadow Nova. After killing nether we took Slate and tanked it near boss and killed it. Then just burned everything we got to boss, hunter even died at 20% and we still managed to down him with 3 seconds on enrage timer left.

Dps's was: 22k,20k,19k,18k and 15k with hunter.

Just try different taqs we tried tanking 2 drakes same time, with 2 tanks etc. Just make lot pulls and when u learn all mechanics u will eventually down him. !

Release the Slate and Storm Dragon, Rotate DefCooldowns and blow all DPS CD's until one drake is dead, after you released the Slate Dragon, Halfus will get stunned after around 30sec for 10sec, so the Healdebuff on the MT can wear off.

Setup: 2Tanks, 3 Healer, Rest Dps.
