When Time Lapse goes off, it acts like a six-second unbreakable Gouge on anyone in line-of-sight. If you've only got one tank, Time Lapse will cause Chromaggus to break loose and go for your healers. It requires a slight adjustment of strategy, but not an overly difficult one. CM got Chromaggus down to 2% on our first attempt and took him out on our second despite having Corrosive Acid and Time Lapse, one of the most difficult breath combinations.
Yeah, we got the Corrosive Acid and Time Lapse combination this time, too. I'll admit that this combination is tough. We had a set of secondary tanks build up aggro and who would then run out of line of sight when the warning came that a Time Lapse was coming. That way, when the Time Lapse did occur (six seconds of stun where Chromaggus doesn't attack anyone who's stunned), the secondary tank(s) would have aggro and Chromaggus would then chase him or her around until the stun was up. Preferably the secondary tank would end up jumping back down to near the original main tank. When the stun was up, Chromaggus would then go back to attacking the main tank. It took a bit of practicing and arranging heals for the secondary tanks, but we got it in the end.
