If you get a sentinel spawning as Entropius is spawning, there is really no way to get a kill. We have one of my assistant raid leaders and KJ-side tank, watch all the timers (hold fire on M'uru at 5% and just leave up dots), and he calls for all DPS on M'uru sometime during an add-spawn kill-cycle, based off the Sentinel timer. During that time, the melee side (door) has killed the mage and has mostly killed the 2 beserkers. We can then finish off our adds while entropius is spawning (one of the rogues saves a 5pt kidney for a zerker if for some reason we are slow) freeing our Entropius tank to go and pick him up. We had a similar experience with our 1st couple of transitions and then we just nailed down our strategy. One key is not to rush it, if you have to wait another add-cycle to get in there cleanly, do so.
Also, Gurg and others, thanks for your thoughts on the triangle-camp strategy for phase 2 and not kiting Entropius the entire time. We did that this week, and our kill (3rd total) felt much smoother overall.
