Two things about last night, though I arrived last:
1) Consider it clean slate. We still got as far as we wanted, so everyone forgive (almost) everyone else, and let's work on the issues we had :)
2) I have been somewhat confused about the Luci encounter before, and I'm sorry for asking the wrong people for the wrong things. I will, however, say this - I haven't had the 2000 damage debuff removed from me once. One night I was surviving simply because we had excess healing and Treehugger was being nice to me (thanks!). Last night, one Renew is the assistance I got to survive. I lasted 5 seconds longer than I should have in the last Luci fight simply because I resisted it and only took 1500 damage, so the Renew saved me. It didn't matter much, anyway, because at that point I had the double skill cost curse on me for 15 seconds and couldn't even backstab. I realize MTs and Healers are more important, but when Arleas and I go down we are losing a lot of DPS. When we lose DPS, the battle lasts that much longer, leading to issues of OOM and death-attrition.
Just be careful of that - at the rate we're going, there will be a time when only healers and the MT are left on Luci, and they won't outlast him.

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