So, for those who don't know, we didn't do too well :) We couldn't get passed the 3rd fight, two Firelords together.
For those who were there, some observations:
1) Apparantly those 3 mobs (1 solo Firelord and 2 Firelords together) are random spawns. So it would have been much easier if we had a spawn that wasn't a Firelord that could just be offtanked (or banished) while we handled the elemental <_<
2) If we're doing two, the Blizzards must come down. Between the Lava Spawns and the Firelords, it seems the only way to ensure that the battle will end at some point.
3) I think we should definately be split on Assists if we're fighting two Firelords. When people didn't assist right (still) on the last attempt, we had about a 3 second period after the first two Lava Spawns went down before more appeared. To split the assist correctly would take alot of work and coordination between the two MAs, but as long as everyone follows them it seems like it should work.
4) At one point we gotta say "this isn't working." If we have 3 Lava Spawns out, chances are we're gonna fail. Three means we already fell behind ... one Lava Spawn split ... so they're only gonna split again. At the point 3 are out, would it be worth saying "Full DPS" on one Firelord just to take one out? I really think we can handle two Firelords at once, but if something goes wrong (Rule One) I think a wipe where we take out a Firelord is much preferable to a half-wipe of people escaping just to do it over again.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
