So we spend 5 hours wiping on Brutallus, getting the healing and tanking down, etc. After two attempts where we get him to below 20% before the enrage, people start wondering. Hm, we had him to 50% halways into the enrage previously, why can't we get him to 0% before the enrage now? People shrug it off, and we go again.

This would be a good time to add that we run an incredibly warlock heavy raid, with 5 warlocks (our top dps) and two shadow priests doing shadow damage.

And there was no curse of shadows on the boss for the last 3 attempts.

Needless to say, things went much better after that, but didn't down him.

Next day, we come back and get at it. One attempt at 1%, wipe. Second attempt we get him to 3% before the enrage is up, somebody screams on vent to the tank "Run away!" (to give extra dps time, by kiting). Well, run he did. Cat form, dash, aaaaall the way over to the other side of the area, brutallus at 2% behind him. We lost 10 seconds of DPS on the guy, and just as he turns around after killing the fleeing druid he does his frontal cone attack for 20k on everyone in range, killing all the dps. Another 1% wipe.

Two hours later we kill him. Start attempting Felmyst a little, and while they're talking on vent, since the raidleader isn't saying anything, I zone out, totally ignoring everything said, while spamming mass dispell on nearby groups. Suddently, we enter combat. "Ehh... so I can aggro it from the air with mass dispell, huh. That's... pretty funny?"
