How many Tantrums roughly do you get in the final phase? Should you have a couple people dedicated to killing the adds and the rest STRAIGHT single target on the boss?

[chuckprime]

tantrums are every thirty seconds, so just picture how well your single target dps is vs the time it takes to slay the dragon
if adds are raping your tank, switch to them, otherwise passive aoe is fine, i.e your enh shamans, rogues, and rets

We had several 10:45+ wipes because the last phase just seemed to take forever. We had a couple dps routinely at 12-14k dps to the boss in the final 25% (poor uptime, deaths, focusing too much on aoe). We told them to focus the boss only and they refused, we replaced them with people did 28k+ dps to the boss in the final phase and killed it in 9:53.

We ended up having 4-5 people cleave and everyone else single target the boss. Obviously put people who lose the least (or none at all) single target from cleaving on that duty. We had 3 hunters and a fire mage handle most of the aoe.

Also make sure you have people save DPS cds so they'll be up for the final burn, no exceptions. Have them up with hero and pot at the start of the final phase. You can see who is and who isn't following these directions with WCL.

If your dps is good he will die before the third tantrum. If not, you'll get a third and will have to split raid cooldowns and big personals up to deal with #2 and #3. If you get to a fourth it's already a wipe. We just killed adds with passive cleave the entire fight and that didn't change in the final phase. It's somewhat important to have no spears up going into that phase as well so you reduce overall incoming damage.

Bad epicenter placement and bad breath placement will cause most final phase wipes.

How can you "place" breath in a good way? What is good epicenter placement?

Well after this week it is much less of an issue, or non-issue TBH, but that basically means that range just need to be spread in whatever part of the room you keep open, and not clump up.

Having the breath hit 2-4 people is OK, hitting 6-10, or even more, will probably wipe you.

He should die on 3rd tantrum, maybe 4th if he's at 1% and he'll die mid-tantrum. You should also use no raid cooldown on the first tantrum after he dismounts Faultline. Well, I suppose you can use, say, vampiric embrace + amplified magic or something, but those tantrums deal so much damage, your raid cooldowns are better focused on the later ones so that as many dps as possible survive. All spears should be dead by the time he dismounts, do not bother with the spears after he does so, you do not have the time, pop time warp and nuke the boss.

We had the tanks tank Faultline at the entrance and very slowly and deliberately move out in order to keep as much room as possible. Once he dismounts, they dragged the Epicenter across the middle of the room and all the dps and healers just sat on the sidelines so that they didn't need to move.
