It could be used to get an upper bound on the dps but it wouldn't say what a non-stacked raid could do. I really don't want to go back to the loatheb-kind of raids (we had 8 mages, 8 rogues on our...

Same result if you disconnect when you get Shadow of Death. Too bad, because I would have loved if our first kill had seen either Shattrath full of skeletons or half the raid disconnected.

The Illidan fight is a lot easier. No part of that fight feels random and it's totally controllable all the way.

Wish I had paid more attention to it but I never counted how many wraths the tanks had. It never jumped into the raid though and we did it with 3 aoe stages.

Nothing that reduces resist and a resistable wrath would make the encounter fine I think. Or the range of wrath jumps smaller.

There should be at least some way to get rid of the wrath.

Have to agree with this. This fight really feels stupid as it is now. The only thing you can do to prolong the fight a little is to try to position so wrath isn't stacking high on single members.

Actually that's not correct either. The correct probability is 1*(19/39)*(18/38)*(17/37)*(16/36)=4.7% since it doesn't matter which side the first bolt lands on.
