Yeah, when I get the stamina trinket off Lei Shen I'm going to go into 25H rocking two stamina trinkets again. If I'd known exactly how hard that stuff hits on Animus (all I had to go on was "it hits pretty hard") I wouldn't have done it with 1 stamina trinket either.
I hate running double stam trinkets, I'm running a hit one right now so it's such a pain to recoup a loss of 1400 accuracy
EDIT: I do have a question for anyone running heroics though. We haven't made it to p2 horridon yet and I was wondering if anyone could clue me in on how much health is *enough*. I want to have some general idea of what that phase is like before we hit it so that we don't get to it and find out the entire attempt is moot because the tank went splat.
Sitting at ~840k raid buffed if I gem stam and use double stam trinkets.

There isn't really a level where you have *enough* to survive Horridon - even on 10H he can already do 400k hits (+triple puncture +shout => easily over 1m damage within 2 seconds).
Be prepared to chain cds on the tank and have several battle res ready because you'll probably need them.
Are you taking Clemency? If he's on Horridon, you can double HoSac on him. What's the rest of your raid comp look like?
I was running UbS for our attempts for some reason (bubble off stacks on first gate, BoP next, bubble next, BoP next) but now that you mention that I'm going to swap to clemency.
External tank CDs in my raid:
1) 8 possible HoSac
2) 1 Iron bark
3) 1 Guardian Spirit
4) 1 Pain Sup
5) 2 Vigilance
Don't think I missed any, I might have though. Really just have to figure out a precise rotation for them, really requires getting to the last phase to see how long it lasts for my raid, and how long each tank is tanking (I'm going to assume our bear will require more outside help than I will since I plan on taking HA for that fight)
Also, throwing vengeance empowered SS onto bear druid when I'm not actively tanking ftw.

I personally use UbS for Horridon, but I haven't gotten to heroic yet. Having said that, you might be better off keeping UbS for yourself, and having the others swap over to Clemency. Just so that you can have DP up more often. If you choose to go with Clemency, you can HoP yourself more often instead of just bubble.
I don't recall if you can just HoP someone before Triple Puncture goes off, have them taunt the boss so he stays on the tank, and then click HoP off after Puncture. Would require some considerable timing to pull off, but would be a way to mitigate one of the TP's and remove any stacks on said tank.
Yeah that's what I did on normal and have done on all our heroic attempts so far. Will probably only go Clemancy if I find we do actually need that one extra HoSac (but with the potential to have 6 in the raid not including me, it might not be entirely necessary).
haven't tried this.
EDIT: Just set up weakauras to track externals so it's easier to see. I have too many auras now, halp

You would need to remove more than one Triple Puncture to reset the debuff, it has something like a 2 minute duration and TP comes every ~30 seconds.
How in the world is Alabaster Shield worthless?

A bit off-topic. But is merin dead?
Finally cleared 12/12 last night.
Does any of you guys play along a Monk tank?
Our monk tank does an insane amount of DPS. When it comes to single target and low-vengeance situations I just don't have a shot at competing with him for DPS.
Anyone else experiencing this?
We ended the fight with me doing like 35 Mill damge and he was on 50 Mill.
