Or the OMG RAID DAMAGE, where are all our priests? fight.

We don't have a good handle on it yet.

Phase 1:

People die. A lot. Generally one or two people are low enough to die to 2 ticks of encapsulate. Is this just a positioning problem, do people suck, or what? We've been running 2/2/2/2 healer, 10k health. 2 shadow priests too, so gas nova isn't much of a problem. Thinking about upping it to 9 healer or 11k. Pretty much using the Bosskillers strat. Basically it chugs along then someone dies to encapsulate.

Phase 2:

The few times we got there with a semblance of order, everyone just died. Currently using a prot warrior and druid for the bulk of the tanking, with consecrate and piercing howls from a holy paladin and arms warrior. Earthbinds and a frost trap all around. Our prot paladin is away, is it doable without one? It seems a lot like Tidewalker, except the other healers can't afford to wait much at all.

Incidentally, I can't recall any other boss fight that has flat out required two of a class. Perhaps 4 of 2 classes, such as decursing, but here it's just "2 priests or go home, and if you only have 2 good luck." I really hope they don't have something with hunters...
