Doesn't mean anything. The Arcing Smash miss was against a Feral Druid with Predatory Instincts - Spell - World of Warcraft. The only other miss I have seen so far was against a Shadow Fiend which have a similar passive ability. I have yet to see an Arcing Smash miss on a target that does not have passive AoE avoidance.

Which, if you really want, means taking Enveloping Shadows in the rogue-tank build. I'm fairly sure you can do that without losing anything essentially. That said, I haven't rogue tanked in ages cause the GM won't let me tank Shaz or Illidan. He's a killjoy in that regard.

There is a little of both luck and strategy involved. 7 Hours of attempts is not uncommon in terms of tries.
From my raid experience is was always down to people making "those" mistakes and not fully focusing on what to do at certain phases.

It is one of those encounters that requires alot of raid focus and even still then it can be a little frustrating but stick it out and eventually everyone will be on the same page.
