Try out Destro then, it seems nice for this fight.I did wonder about using demo for this - however I'm a bit concerned about the wand bug.

If you have the option of bringing a couple of melee DPS and assigning them to legs, that would solve any DPS problem you have. Looks like you only got to the enrage twice out of all those wipes, though, so apparently you have other problems as well.

We do yea, but the enrage still hangs over us on every attempt as even though we were wiping on other things, we were still a bit behind for the enrage. On some attempts we were cutting it fine, so we were improving slightly (mainly due to switching one of the tanks to DPS spec).
We had 6 casters, so spreading was a bit of a problem for our healers. We don't really have any cleave specs; our comp was as follows:
2xshadowpriests, 2xfire mages, affliction lock, moonkin. I think our paladin is gearing up his ret spec though, which should help.
Our shadow priest was doing well on the legs, whereas I was doing far better on the boss even with switching to legs. I hate to tell my guild that I need to stand and burn but I really think that's the best thing for me to do.
Destro is an option but if you can't get embers back I'm not sure what problem it is solving.

Going back to the main problem, honestly, all 3 specs are close on this fight, it highly depends on your way of handling it, if you plan on not moving much, affli should probably be the way to go.
And why is that my good Sir ?
We'll be starting on this tomorrow and I have to say destro does look very tempting. Do the legs take long enough to kill on 10 man for it to be worth saving 3 embers for shadowburn, or will they just die before all 3 get off?
It's somewhat unlikely that I'll be a full time leg killer, although if I can work in a few shadowburn cleaves it should do us some favours hopefully.

I guess it depends of your raid's DPS on them, I used Havoc with Chaos Bolt because they were really being destroyed
Was about to open a new thread about the following question but since Garalon is mentioned here, it is a good place.
Has anyone (especially destro) used Mannoroth's Fury on this? Do you think the increased area of effect will result in Rain of Fire hitting all legs+boss and even Fire and Brimstone + immolate/incinerate for at least 2 legs+boss?
I have made some pulls with MF & RoF, but KJC was much more useful for me since I had to kite with the pheromones.
I think MFRoF did hit all 5 targets but the legs die so quickly that it's not that much of a gain overall.
You shouldn't use FnB on this fight, there are just not enough targets :/
we killed this huge bug yesterday on 25man; i played as usual demo
we decided to kill just 2 legs instead of 4 cuz of the enrage timer which worked quite well and ended up in our first kill.
i had to kite the boss 2 times wherefore KJC is kinda perfect...even the damage output compared to an affli lock was ok. there is space for more dps
but i got ranked #24 (demo locks) with about "only" ~65k dps.
i also tried affli some tries but i switched back to demo....for me demo was more comfortable

well in know that killing one leg is 3% direct boss dmg and a 3% more dmg taken buff on the boss.
don't ask me why it worked...most of the time we killed all legs we had the enrage at about 7% hp left on the boss.
we also had problems with those legs beeing on the "outer side" of the boss were unattackable for ranges cuz they weren't in our line of sight.
with killing only the two "inner legs" we also knew that only these 2 can respawn/get restored.
the 200% more dmg buff is only on the legs you are standing next to...as far as i know (maybe i'm wrong) the 200% doens't count by doing cleeve dmg from a leg to the boss.

I've been getting good results cleaving as Destro. I like MF/FnB Immo to RoF, I tend to hit ember overload if I can play to the kite path properly. From there, havoc cleaving on whatever leg is low or throwing excess CB's to the body when I have procs. It's difficult to do if you have to kite a lot though, but luckily, there's a mage for that.
Do you get the weak point buff only on the leg where you stand or can you multidot all 4 legs with the buff if you stand in one "buff area"?
If so how do you manage to be not out of range to the other legs?
The buff you get suggests you only get it for that leg, not all of them. It specifically talks about "the leg" and not about "legs" or "all legs"
