finally mopped him up tonight.
for us the 2/2/2/2 worked better than 3/1/1/3. Had some execution problems with 3/1/1/3 as well as under rare circumstances with tank only 5th portal and a few back to back long wait time portals, things got really bad with 3/1/1/3. One crucial thing to remember is that you should take the next portal once the spectral exhaustion debuff is at 15 secs or less as it is your portal at that time. Missing such portal can result in extra 30-40 secs upstairs if the next portal gets delayed, not to mention the healing rotations will go completely out of whack if one healer from a group takes the portal and the other doesn't because they had ~10 secs left on the debuff because of how they took the first portal.
I didn't see this mentioned before, but we had 3 mages on decurse duty so we just paired them up with the 3 tanks to ensure there is always someone above/below to decurse. Also since the hardest healing reqs before the enrage are between portal 3 and portal 4 (when there are only two healers topside, awaiting group 1 healers' return to help before portal 4); we made sure that all the DPS took portal 1,2,3 so as only 1 tank/1 mage/2 healers remained upstairs to minimize raid healing requirements.
Very good fight. Take coordination to learn as well as some solid tank/healer gear and consistent DPS. Blizzard did a very good job with Kalec though the enrage can get a bit rough on tanks (but that's what SW is for ^^).
