@Fax directly:
You mentioned Flamestrike. Do you actually use Flamestrike in the Anub encounter?
Personally I've never seen Anub and all 4 adds in range for a Flamestrike so I'd just directly Blizzard (because a 5 targets Blizzard should do higher DPS than a 3 targets Flamestrike).
Do you have any special way of tanking Anub and the adds?

I don't know, maybe we do? I never really thought it was "special", but I don't really know what other guilds are doing.
For hard mode, we all stack together with the adds and anub. All the raid and all the mobs in the same spot, so yes, I definitely am using Flamestrike since its hitting everything and the ground dot keeps going while my blizzard cast is going on. I would think most raids would have all 4 adds in the same spot, however, since they need to all be on the ice in order to avoid having them submerge. All of us stacking together is our current bid to have some control over Shadow Strike (as far as we can tell, it seems to always hit the person not stacked) -- though my personal preference is for us to just have 4 good interupters and an assigned corner each. I'm not quite sure why a 1.3 second cast, after mind numbing, would give anyone trouble.
We haven't actually killed him on Hard Mode yet, so perhaps we'll adjust that in the future, but for now that seems to make the most sense.
