I know its last minute.. but please watch some of the videos people... IDC if you dont learn from watching, but you will still gain SOMETHING from watching them... we only have a limited amount of time to try to knock this out so lets please make the most of it.
So it seems like realistically we only have 2 full lockouts left with the whole crew if we wanna run and gun Deathwing. Early release by the 15th, Mehguy on vacation by the 14th. Would only have a Tuesday on that 3rd lockout so it's probably a wash.
Perhaps, for these last 2 weeks, do we want to gun for a 4th raid day both weeks? Like Thurs or limited Fri or whatever.
Anyways, very breif run down of Dragon Soul for tonight's purposes.

2 tanks trade tank debuff, be closest ones to boss
Entire raid stays within 25 yards of boss to split aoe damage
Red crystal spawns, 3 people go soak exploding damage
Boss will yank people in, drop stone pillars, spit blood aoe damage
We LoS stonecore style with the pillars
Heroism at 20%

1 tank, frontal cone damage that heals him up
Dispellable DoT that does 60K damage and knockback on dispel
Prefer to have only 1 healer in control of that, to make sure they got HP to survive it, and not knocked into unfortunate locations
The Purple Ball, an add, not killable, that moves along and bounces off players it comes into contact with
Goal is to bounce it around and eventually hit the boss to make it enter a diff phase in which he takes increased damage
Back to the ball, on contact, it will do some hefty damage that is split among nearby players, so no solo bouncing
On contact, it will gain a buff that will make the boss take 5% more damage per stack when it reaches the boss
On contact, it will gain a buff doing 20% more damage to the next bounce
So, goal is to bounce it as much as possible before getting it to boss for massive increased damage
But, can not bounce it forever as it will kill us
Ideally, have ranged group, melee group, ranged group bounce it into the melee group, melee group let it hit their backs, repeat til ready, then melee lets it pass to hit boss
Ball hits boss, aoe damage starts up, stack up aoe heal and burn dps burn

1 tanked, gets spammed with shadow damage dot
Every 75 seconds, 3 random colored oozes spawn, they move to boss
Raid is to kill one, as other 2 will go immune. The other two will give boss abilities depending on color
Raid must do their best to choose the best option
Purple - Every 5th heal/absorb landing on a player will trigger a 50K raid aoe. Goal is to keep raid up with as little heals as possible. Often chosen as ooze to kill to not deal with this.
Green - Randomly does 60K to a player and all those near him, so, spread out
Yellow - Boss's shadowbolt becomes a raid wide aoe. Stack up and aoe heal through it if Green not up, otherwise, heal through it
Black - Adds spawn that fixate on players doing damage to them, stack up and aoe them down if possible
Red - Random fire damage to 3 players in the raid doing more damage the farther you are from him. Stack up near boss and heal through it, if Green is up too, spread out around boss in a peace circle
Blue - Spawns add that jacks all the mana from everyone, but releases it all back when killed. So, everyone kill it ASAP.

You mean we're supposed to
Ghli — Tue, 11/29/2011 - 15:11You mean we're supposed to stand in fire, get in line of sight of the boss when he's casting a raid killing AoE, and stand in grey poop?
I'll be able to raid this
cromi — Tue, 11/29/2011 - 02:09I'll be able to raid this week. But probably not the next. It's not something I want to discuss on the forums at this time.
So it seems like
