We were stuck on this encounter for like 3 raids and only rarely making it to the enrage phase since we had a lot of bugged deaths on the wall. This was mainly fixed by adjusting the position of the raid slightly, which reduced our amount of bugged deaths by a factor of 5 or so. It still happens but instead of having almost guaranteed wipe, we can now kill her very reliably without using NR potions or other extraordinary consumables, besides on the tank.

We frequently have to do 2 cycles after enrage, though not always. SW takes care of first. LS and hope for the best at second. Worst case scenario, he still lasts nearly all the 8 seconds and the rest can be handled by having rogues evade and warriors shield wall while the raid bursts her down.

Where do you tank her now? At the moment (one night of tries) we pretty much tank her on the stone block in the middle of the room.

You're considering leaving people webbed on the north wall and just healing them through the fight? I don't think we've ever had people live a full 40 seconds stuck on the wall to find out. It'd be an interesting strategy if it worked I guess.
Hm. there's a strat I had not considered. Anyone know if that works?
Am pretty interested to find out but not interested enough to test it since our DPS are usually good at freeing these people and they don't get dura loss if they die. That said, keeping people on the wall alive IS fairly easy with full HoTs.

Sadly I can't explain it as well as some others as I was for vacation during the raid where they experimented with positions.

We used to hug the wall at the middle of the web and have Maex very close with the philosophy that it'd have mages in range of nearly all the webs and barely having to run at all to AoE. I think we moved a bit further away from the web (though significant parts of the wall are still easy to get in range of for those who normally focus Maex and have to run close for AoE at times) and I'm not sure if we tuned our north/south positioning a bit too but I don't think that was the big factor.
