Once we knock out Arthas we're going to want to start trying to force our way through hardmode (at least the first wing, I would imagine). Hardmode is a terrible, terrible place to try to do these fight achievements. It seems to me like we should get them over with sooner rather than later. Although with Ever still gone I'm not sure the time is right.
I have plans for most of the achievements. I think the only ones I don't have specific tactics for are Sindragosa and Deathwhisper. Oh. And the Arthas ones but I see no reason to be worried about those until he's actually dead so I ignored them.
The other thing that can potentially stall us are raid weeklys. Obviously if we get, say, Festergut and Rotface as our weekly then its a bad plan to try to get achievements done on them on the same week.
I think we have Sindragosa pretty well figured out last week. Her last phase didn't feel uncomfortable and this week I have some shiny new gear so hopefully she'll die quicker. As long as we don't stumble on Blood Princes again I think Saturday will be really good to us.
Having a few bumps along the road is just something thats going to happen though and when it does we can't let it get us down. I think whats more important is what we have more control over: BE ONLINE AT RAID TIME. Starting 20 minutes late hurts us far more than having trouble with a particular boss. Because thats time we spend not learning anything or adjusting anything. Its just time spent inactive when we could be potentially killing stuff.
Deathwhisper's achievement is a bit of a bitch and a CC fight. I'm not sure on EXR's makeup but with a pally's Turn evil and the CCs from just about every other class it can be done if everyones given a target, with an appropiate mark. Someone needs to be on top of marking and getting that persons attention. then it's just a matter of watching AOE and GG
oh and one of the mobs needs to be kited we had Lumi on that
We need to push to get a kill on Sindragosa this night or at least clear up to her. Our raid last Saturday was good until our little thirty minute break. We don't need that this week. We need to keep the momentum and push as far as we can and not get hung up on easy bosses like Blood Princes and Dreamwalker.
Also, we need to knock out some achievements along the way up to the LK. They shouldn't be hard as long as everyone understands what they need to do. Read up and know what to expect on our path to the LK.
