Glad this was helpful. My goal is to try and provide insight on content I have actually done and completed. Sadly, I have been ushered into healing duty for everything past Saurfang of late, so I haven't actually taken down the other bosses as Ret, though I have as Holy. Hopefully we can get some more healers so I can further these guides! Hey Ken, thanks! Glad this was helpful. My goal is to try and provide insight on content I have actually done and completed.

unless you are tanking because it really doesnt matter if you are doing damage all that much because of holy whatever tis called increasing ur threat so you DO pull threat if your tanking

dps wise dont even act liek they spawned ive done this the opast three weeks on 10 and 25 and ive topped out at about 7.8k dps on this fight oh also if u have an on use trinket or wings or whatever pop at start of fight

my guild has alot of shamans so its a rare occurance that we dont have blood lust i have the on use trink from t9 vendor and wings and i pop that at beginingof fight once again at about 65% and once more at about 40% that way i will have it once my blood lust runs out around 15-20% health this increases my dps by about 300-500 on a fight

also if your guild does 25 man the same as our guild by having a pally D.I. the marked target and then use soulstone or brez then use a haste pot at begining because the death will reset the cooldown on your pot :D

There is only a half-second window where I hold off on the AOE on this fight. I continue my normal rotations despite the adds. Finding the right time for AoE is crucial for but it can be done. Sometimes my AOE isn't even off cooldown, so I avoid the issue all together. I also have very solid ranged dragging the adds around, and they pull quick. The moment I see one of the adds pulled, I continue my DPS rotation. If the tank pulls aggro on the add, which does happen, my AOE seems to have no effect on the add, so I continue DPS as normal. I know this contradicts normal logic on the fight, but I have a hunch the top performing Paladins on this fight are doing the same thing. THere's actually nothing wrong with the mechanics of my approach, it just requires some very precise timing. I’ll let you in on a little secret…just don’t tell my raid leaders.

You said you can DPS unhindered during Saurfang, but you can't aggro the Beast adds. My DPS isn't exactly low, but how did you cope with the loss of Divine Storm on some moments, and the general loss of Consecration? Hey mate, quick question.

Having a tank drop right at the start makes it almost impossible for a melee dps to stay alive once the solo tank is at -100% threat.
