I'm not in EJ, but my guild took about ~40. Roughly 25 to work out the Gas Nova + Encaps stuff in p1, another 10 or so to get the Breaths just right, and then 5 random wipes. We killed her the 2nd time she got the 2nd air phase with 25 people alive. One enrage at ~7% and then a kill 1 or 2 attempts later. Note that the ~38 early wipes weren't all gas nova / encaps, then all breaths. Sometimes we'd hit the air phase, next attempt someone would screw up encaps. Once we had a solid grasp of those 3 main portions of the fight, its just a matter of executing a few times in a row with enough dps. First ~3 or 4 kills were post-enrage as she landed, this week she died before the 4th air phase.

Each and every fight will be different however, in terms of how long it takes to learn. The largest difference is how many other guilds have guild the boss before. If you are fighting the boss without ever seeing a kill video or reading a strat beyond "the boss has abilities X, Y an Z that do...." (and those are usually off), the boss will take MANY more attempts. Some of our first Brutallus attempts for instance we tried sticking 2 soakers with the tank and just rotating the soakers every slash. Often the first few wipes will involve something like "just heal a ton and someone time how often ability X happens".
