Well, despite many guilds claiming he's free loot, we wiped many hours on him too, with 1 shaman only in the raid.
I do think the more shamans you have, the better you will perform. We wiped countless times because of stupid things like mt dying during fear for example. Only 1 tremor totem means you give it to the melee grp, which means you have to rely on trinket/invuln chains to manage mt healing, and it's obviously very dangerous.
Things we changed to get a kill :
- We put a druid 40 yard behind the raid. His main job is to decurse the 2 ou 3 people who get grip + air burst. This combo WILL happen and it killed us many times. The druid can at least ns heal + decurse to avoid this.
- We tried to dps very high. Archimonde is a very random fight, there's many things that can go wrong (someone cratered, grip + air burst + fear combos, mt dying to a spike, fear in doomfire... and so on). So, try to kill him as fast as possible.
- Everyone equipped pvp trinket. It will help you, period. Be it to dps more, to avoid a doomfire, to place the heal which will save your mt, it's the best trinket you can use if you don't have 3 or more shamans.
- HS / Pot life or shadow on everyone. Everybody in your raid should be able to heal himself of 5k dmg or so.

We didn't have time to do hyjal again this week, but honnestly, I fear this fight. I'm sure we won't oneshot him. I still find him hard, at least with 1 shaman only.
