So we reached him last night, put in about 15 pulls, almost all of them wipes on the first transition. We made it through sloppily a couple times with 1-2 deaths, but still haven't been able to master it.
Just wondering if anyone has any helpful tips out there to help us figure out how to deal with the transitions.
We've tried Splitting 2/2/3/3, with 2 tanks in 1 group, 1 heal/1 DPS in another, and 2 DPS/1Heal in the other 2, and we've also tried tanks each grabbing one, 2heal/2dps in one, and 1 heal/3dps in another. Nothing particular going wrong, and a lot of our deaths were to correctable things (people getting hit by Overload, missing too many bouncing bolts, etc), but I was wondering if there was any strat to make this easier. It just seems like unless we get great RNG, people get too overwhelemed, die to static shock, or die to adds from missing bolts.
Also, one of my biggest concerns is the second transition, when static shock will be hitting for near double the amount it hits in the first transition. I realize we'll be able to split into 3/3/4, but what if someone that doesn't have an immunity gets targetted by static shock? Such a large hit is going to be hard to survive, even when split up 3 was.
Most of the suggested strats have getting rid of the Eastern (Chain Lightning) conduit first, and allowing North (static shock) to level up in phase 2, is this the easiest way to go?
Our Comp:
Holy Paladin (Bubble)
Resto Druid (Iceblock)
Disc Priest
Prot Warrior
Blood DK
Hunter (Deterrance)
Enh Shaman
Ret Paladin (Bubble)
Warlock (Dark Bargain)
Mage (Iceblock, Greater Invis)
Wondering what the best group split would be with our comp.
Is it also recommended to not use long CD immunities in the first transition so they'll be up for the second, when the ability hits harder?
Thanks in advance for any pointers. Hoping to get a kill tonight.

Also does each quadrant only ever get 2 static shocks? Is it just bad RNG if someone without an immunity gets two in a row?
And one more thing, what would 2 healing change? Both the Paladin and the Priest(me) can DPS
