Later in the fight this causes issue with meteor/stomp timing. The first taunt goes fine, after that it all gets sketchy. I guess what is the main recommendation, try and avoid stomps with tank changes or try and live through them and taunt after stomps?
Also with our current failures there has been talks of a three tank method. I'm not to keen on the idea, but does anyone have any experience with this method?

I'm OT, I'm mainly gemed as avoidance, the MT is gemed as Stam. |
I would most definitely use a weapon with Mongoose (pretty obvious from an avoidance point of view) as well as straight +10 def gems over the seasprays. I personally use Commendation as a druid, but I think my warrior MT prefers to use Shadowmoon Insignia.
I know our healers (only 7 required) found it alot easier to heal on initial kills by bringing an affliction lock to the raid (5% less damage).
Also the first attempt I looked at was #10 which was ~7.3M and 6"11. Hell you've hit enrage. Your other attempts look fairly week but it definitely looks like your dps is slacking bigtime. Not going to take the time to look at their gear but all 3 rogues should be pulling 2k+, All destroy locks should be 2k+ depending on burns, All mages should be 2k+ depending on burns (Maybe less since bloodlusting at 25% is a substantial dps increase), both of your hunters are BM and should be pulling again 2k+ (Should probably have one of them go survival), maybe have a paladin go ret for again - more dps. Your Enhance shaman is only pulling sub 1200 which is terrible and your elemental is pulling 1600 which is more reasonable but again can be pushed a fair deal.
Healing will come with practice and the 5% from the affliction lock will help a fair deal, dps really needs to step it up.

On a more technical tanking note: Your entire job consists of making sure your meteor slash never gets stacked to 4. That said go ahead and taunt the initial stomp (make sure you are vocal 3 seconds in advance, and count it down prior to every single taunt). From there on you are basically watching your debuff tick down and timers from Bigwigs/DBM. When you see your debuff with 7 seconds remaining and the cooldown on slash and stomp is 7 do not taunt prematurely. Sit there and watch meteor slash cast and a) if stomp landed prior to that slash taunt asap or b) if stomp is about to land by at least a margin of 4-5 seconds before the next slash, wait for it and then taunt. You will run into situations where you will have to eat a full duration stomp, again call it out and use your cooldowns/trinkets (exactly the reason you equip them in the first place).
EDIT: I'm not even sure how many times I've posted or seen other people post more or less the same shit.. and yet alas more teachmehow2play posts, for the love of God can we actually read the pages prior to <Last> and if you still have a question that for some reason hasn't been answered (doubt it), post.
