My guild is currently working on Heroic Lei Shen and we plan on extending the lockout next week to maximise progression.
A few people would like to get the meta achievements from ToT and have suggested we kill Lei Shen on normal tonight before reset to work towards the "A Complete Circuit" achievement (with one player that has the 11/13 HM lockout sitting out). My question is would this still allow us to use the player's lockout who sits out of normal Lei Shen for our lockout next week or will it say Lei Shen has been killed when we attempt to enter next reset?
Secondly, we also plan to do the first 11 bosses on normal after this reset to get the other meta achievements and then on our proper raid night, use the lockout of the person who sat out for the normal meta achievements to then do Heroic Lei Shen. Will this work since we only cleared normal all the way up to Lei Shen and then joined someone else's lockout at Heroic Lei Shen?
Think of it this way:
10 players are at Heroic Lei Shen this week, player A steps out and the other 9 switch and kill him on normal. Can we use player A's lockout next reset to go straight to Heroic Lei Shen or will it say Lei Shen is already dead?
And the second question:
Player A has an extended Heroic Lei Shen lockout, 9 other players clear normal mode ToT together up to Lei Shen, can they then join Player A's lockout at Heroic Lei Shen?

Thanks in advance and I hope this makes sense/is in the correct place!
