Twin Fangs down, Coiled Altar to 7.7%
Compared with last Sunday (September 27), when we pulled the same two bosses. Thanks for a solid night, everyone.
Twin Fangs kill on pull 4Coiled Altar best pull 7.7%13 boss pulls · 14 raiders
Part 1
The Good
Coiled Altar reached the intermission on 6 of 9 pulls, up from 4 of 9 last week, and 4 pulls ended with the boss under 15% (1 last week).
Phase 1 raid DPS went from 1.27M to 1.41M, so phase 2 started at 2:10 on average instead of 2:25.
More of our damage is landing in the intermission burn: 1.89× our phase 1 DPS, up from 1.63×.
Eternal Nightfall caused deaths on 4 of 9 pulls, down from 6 of 9. Guillotine early deaths dropped from 4 to 1.
On the Twin Fangs kill, 7 of the 8 returning DPS and healers parsed higher than last Sunday.
Flask and food on every real pull. They were only missing on the 27-second reset.
Part 2
What would help most next time
1
Save potions and cooldowns for the Coiled Altar intermission
For the 35 seconds of the intermission, Zul'jan takes double damage while healing himself 2% per second. That's why Bloodlust goes there, and it's where potions and big cooldowns are worth the most.
The intermission starts between 3:49 and 4:29, and Light's Potential has a 5-minute cooldown, so a pre-pot means no potion during the burn. Tonight, DPS reached the intermission 54 times in total: 18 of those had pre-potted, and only 12 had a potion running. Top Heroic raids skip the pre-pot. They do 2.4× to 3.4× their phase 1 DPS during the intermission, and we're at 1.9×.
2
Break the Eternal Nightfall shield
Malacrass shields himself and channels a huge raid-wide hit. It's a burn check: break the shield and the cast stops. It killed 5 to 9 people on each of pulls 5, 6, 8 and 9. Every DPS should swap to the shield the moment it goes up.
3
Stand near the middle when phase 2 ends
When Malacrass reaches 0%, he knocks everyone back. On pull 12 we lost 13 people between 3:51 and 4:07, all with no damage source in the log, which is what being knocked off the platform looks like. Pull 8 lost 3 the same way. Unworthy, the instant kill for leaving the fight, also shows up here.
4
Gravebound: pick up your soul fragments
Soul Sever, Blighted Sever and Gloombomb leave you Gravebound and scatter your soul fragments on the floor. You have about 15 seconds to step on all of them, or you die when the debuff runs out. Gravebound killed 8 people tonight. Gloombomb targets should also run away from the group before it goes off.
5
Stay out of the tank frontals
Sever, Soul Sever and Blighted Sever are cones aimed through the tank. Three DPS died to Sever around 1:00 to 1:17 on pulls 5, 6 and 13, each the first death of the pull.
6
Twin Fangs: Eternal Venom is a budget
Eternal Venom kills at 10 stacks, and the only way to remove a stack is to soak Ravenous Feast, one stack per Feast. Most of the raid finished each wipe at 9 stacks. Every Corrosive Spit line, Stir the Depths wave and Vile Flood you dodge buys a later Feast. Both tanks also took Clotted Bolt, which only happens when Ithraz is out of melee range.
7
Use healthstones
Of the 30 early deaths tonight, 27 happened without the player having used a healthstone that pull.
8
Enchants, oils and potions
Flask and food were on every pull for everyone. The rest is less tidy: 5 of 14 have empty enchant slots (Amonamarth, Cheylia, Illidæn, Luminianna, Vansik), 3 had no weapon oil (Amonamarth, Madmetal, Vansik), 1 has empty sockets (Illidæn), and 4 used no potion on any pull (Amazinggrace, Madmetal, Pana, Viridion). None of it is hard, and on a boss we're taking to 7.7% it's the kind of thing that decides the kill. Each breakdown lists the exact slots.
9
Talent check
Every build was compared against the current guides (Wowhead, Icy Veins, Method) and the 30 top US Heroic Twin Fangs logs for the same spec. Ten of fourteen match the top logs. Swaps are suggested for Pana (hero tree plus four spec talents), Amonamarth (one spec, two hero talents), Madmetal (one spec talent) and Vansik (one hero talent). Details are in each breakdown.

Damage
8 raiders
Amazinggrace
Unholy Death Knight
Parse 43 → 48 · Active 93% → 97%
Talents match top logs
Good
Talents, gear, enchants and trinket all match the top San'layn logs, and the trinket fires with every Dark Transformation. Best-prepared DPS in the raid, by a lot.
5 Wail of Terror kicks, tied for most in the raid, and phase 1 damage up 13%.
Bad
Soul Reaper up 5% of the fight against 15%, with 3 of 10 resets wasted, and melee uptime that says the snakes were out of reach a quarter of the time. They are the size of a bus.
No potions on any pull, and 16% of Runic Power lost at cap. The one consumable that isn't on is the one that does damage.
Arthurdent
Elemental Shaman
Parse 86 → 94 · Active 97% → 94%
Talents match top logs
Good
94th percentile on Twin Fangs. He finally spends Maelstrom instead of sitting on it.
Talents match the top logs, so he can copy a build correctly.
Bad
Pre-potted on 5 of 6 intermission pulls, so the potion was down for the only window that matters. He wrote the note about this.
Still casting Lightning Bolt on a two-target fight, and died to Unworthy by standing where the boss wasn't. Twice.
Charlicious
Demonology Warlock
Parse 70 → 73 · Active 85% → 95%
Talents match top logs
Good
Talents and rotation match the top Demonology logs. The script checked for a third thing to say and found 'still matches'.
A potion in 4 of 6 intermissions, the best in the raid, and 2.3x damage in the burn window. The rest of the raid is using him as the instructions.
Bad
About 3.5 cancelled casts a minute against 1.4 for the top logs. That is the worst thing the script could find. It looked.
No on-use trinket to pair with Tyrant; the top logs all run Vile Vial of Volatile Venom. Technically a loot problem, listed here because the card needs two bullets.
Guinness
Retribution Paladin
Parse 26 · Active 91%
Talents match top logs
Good
Talents match the top Retribution logs.
A potion in 2 of the intermissions.
Bad
About 12 seconds a minute out of melee, and 42% of Holy Power wasted at cap.
Divine Storm 11 times a minute against 23 on a two-target fight, and trinkets no top log uses.
Illidæn
Devourer Demon Hunter
Parse 17 → 57 · Active 87% → 95%
Talents match top logs
Good
The biggest jump in the raid: 40 percentile points on Twin Fangs.
Build matches the top logs, and 5 Wail of Terror kicks.
Bad
Both rings unenchanted, two empty sockets, two 278 gems, and trinkets that no top log uses.
Soul Immolation used 4 times, first at 3:43; the top logs press it at 4 seconds and every minute after.
Luminianna
Devastation Evoker
Parse 61 → 64 · Active 97% → 94%
Talents match top logs
Good
Talents and empower ranks match the top Devastation logs exactly. The build was imported correctly; the enchants were not.
Phase 1 Coiled Altar damage up 17% from last week.
Bad
No chest or shoulder enchant. Right answers, no pen.
Hover uptime 55% against 77%, and all six potions went on the pull instead of the burn, a perfect record in the wrong direction.
Vansik
Arcane Mage
Parse 53 → 70 · Active 92% → 96%
Talents 1 swap suggested
Good
Up 17 percentile points on Twin Fangs, and your talents and spell mix match the top Arcane logs.
Prismatic Barrier once a minute; you're the only caster using a defensive that often.
Bad
Four empty enchant slots and no weapon oil on any pull.
11 of 46 Prismatic Bolt procs overwritten, and one hero talent missing.
Zarylathanea
Beast Mastery Hunter
Parse 29 · Active 83%
Talents match top logs
Good
Talents match the top Beast Mastery logs.
A potion in 3 of 6 intermissions, second-best in the raid.
Bad
About 14 seconds a minute not pressing anything, against 4 for the top logs.
Beast Cleave up 71% against 91%: Wild Thrash late and off cooldown.
Healers
4 raiders, 1 absent
Animus
Restoration Shaman
Absent
Not in this log
Good
Zero deaths. Zero missed Gravebound fragments. Zero wasted cooldowns.
Did not pull the boss early.
Bad
All of the above is because he wasn't here. The guild leader skipped the night his guild was progressing.
Thursday's log will be analyzed with the same scripts, with no gentle mode.
Cheylia
Holy Priest
Parse 5 → 4 · Active 96% → 97%
Talents match top logs
Good
Augment rune on every pull and a talent build that matches the top logs. Prepared, polite, and from a country with free healthcare, so she knows what it's supposed to look like.
Coiled Altar phase 1 healing up from 158k to 177k.
Bad
13 damage casts a minute on a fight where the top Holy Priests cast none; Serenity 26 times against 55. Nobody expected the Canadian to be the one who shows up to a healing fight looking for a fight.
First or second death on 3 of 4 Twin Fangs pulls, from venom stacks climbing at 1.5x everyone else's rate. Sorry.
Gandelv
Holy Priest
Parse 67 → 90 · Active 96% → 99%
Talents match top logs
Good
90th percentile healing on Twin Fangs, with a build and casting pattern that match the top Holy Priest logs.
Full enchants and gems; one of the cleanest players in the raid on mechanics.
Bad
One potion and no healthstones all night.
Angelic Feather at less than half the top rate, and overhealing a little higher.
Madmetal
Holy / Retribution Paladin
Ret tonight, Holy last week
Talents 2 swaps suggested
Good
Flexed between Holy and Ret across the night, which makes progress nights easier.
Divine Toll and Execution Sentence on cooldown.
Bad
Final Verdict on a two-target fight, with Divine Storm 5 times a minute against 23.
An Intellect leg enchant, healer ring enchants and no potions all night.
Viridion
Preservation Evoker
Parse 62 · Active 94%
Talents match top logs
Good
22 Venomfang dispels on Coiled Altar, more than the rest of the raid combined.
Build and empower ranks match the top Preservation logs.
Bad
About 19 seconds a minute not casting against 8 for the top logs.
No Blessing of the Bronze at the pull, no Obsidian Scales all fight, no potions all night.
Tanks
2 raiders
Amonamarth
Blood Death Knight
Active 98% → 100%
Talents 3 swaps suggested
Good
Bone Shield up 98% of the fight, and early deaths down from 3 to 1. The tank is tanking.
A potion on 11 of 12 pulls, the most consistent in the raid, which is a nice thing to be able to say about someone with five empty enchant slots.
Bad
Five empty enchant slots, the wrong weapon rune, and no oil on any pull. Raw, unseasoned item level.
Dancing Rune Weapon first pressed at 1:31. It's in the name. It wants to dance at the start.
Pana
Protection Paladin
Active 96% → 97%
Talents hero tree differs from top logs
Good
5 Eternal Nightfall shield breaks, the most in the raid, plus 6 Venomfang dispels. When the job is 'hit the thing', the thing gets hit.
Shield of the Righteous up 99% of the fight, on one foot. Tanked a Heroic progression boss with a broken foot, which is more than the enchants can say for some people.
Bad
A talent tree that differs from almost every top Protection log, hero tree included. A meta of one.
17% of Holy Power wasted at cap, Hammer of Wrath at half the top rate, and the weapon oil that was on last week has been retired. The foot excuses the movement. It does not excuse the oil.
The Maelstrom problem is fixed: waste is down from 17% to 6% and only 2 free Elemental Blasts were lost instead of 13. Which means there is nothing left to hide behind. On a fight that is two targets from pull to kill, you cast Chain Lightning 9.7 times a minute; the top Elementals cast it 17.5. You cast Lightning Bolt instead, 40% more often than they do, and you fed four Stormkeeper charges into it. Then you pre-potted on 5 of the 6 Coiled Altar pulls that reached the intermission, so the potion was on cooldown for the one window that matters. You wrote the note about that. Your weapon enchant isn't the one any top log uses, either.
Gear and consumables
Weapon enchant Enchant Weapon - Arcane Mastery (top logs use Rite of the Hash'ey)
Potion on 11 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 12/12.
Trinkets: Vile Vial of Volatile Venom (321), Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (334). Top 30 logs: Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (26), Vile Vial of Volatile Venom (23), Freightrunner's Flask (3).
On-use trinket: 3 uses, 3 inside your burst window (top logs: 3 of 3).
What to change
Chain Lightning is the filler on two targets. Every Lightning Bolt on Twin Fangs is a mistake, including the Stormkeeper ones.
Potion in the Coiled Altar intermission, not the pull. You did it right once in six tries.
Hold the second Ascendance for the intermission. The top Elementals hold it 40 seconds or more to line it up.
Spiritwalker's Grace during movement: 3 uses tonight, the top logs use 4-5. You spent 17 seconds a minute not casting against their 13.
Pull 8: Unworthy at 4:14, first death of the pull, by standing where Malacrass wasn't when phase 2 ended. Pull 12 at 3:58, same spot.
Gear: the weapon enchant (Arcane Mastery) isn't used by any of the top four logs; they run Rite of the Hash'ey.
Coiled Altar
You pre-potted on 5 of the 6 pulls that reached the intermission and had a potion during the burn only once. Hold your second Ascendance for the intermission too. Top Elementals hold it for 40 seconds or more.
Pull 8: Unworthy killed you at 4:14, the first death of the pull, right as phase 2 ended. Pull 6 (4:43) and pull 12 (3:58) also had deaths around the push. Stand near the middle.
Gravebound killed you once (pull 13, 6:06) out of 11 times you had it.
7 Venomfang dispels and 1 Wail of Terror kick. Good.
Talents
Build matches the top logs. The only split among them is Swelling Maelstrom (46%) vs Elemental Unity (26%), and you're on the more common side. Master of the Elements and Flames of the Cauldron are near-universal and you have both.
Hero tree Farseer: same as 30 of 30 top logs.
Nearest guide build "Raid 2-target cleave (Method)": you lack Elemental Unity; you have Flames of the Cauldron instead.
The numbers
You did 221k DPS on the Twin Fangs kill. The four best Elemental logs on the same hero tree at item level 326–326 did a median of 266k.

Time not casting: 17.3 s per minute (top 12.8); longest gap 3.5s (top 2.9s). Casts per minute 45.2 (top 52.6).
The cleanest rotation in the raid. Talents are exactly the guide's Diabolist cleave build, every top log uses the same one, and spell rates sit within 5-10% of the best Demonology logs on this fight. The script was told to find two bad things per person and spent longer on this card than any other. What it found: 3.5 cancelled casts a minute against 1.4, and no on-use trinket where all four top logs line one up with Tyrant. That's the list. If it helps, the trinket one is Blizzard's fault.
Gear and consumables
Potion on 9 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 12/12.
Trinkets: Mindpiercer's Sigil (311), Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (334). Top 30 logs: Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (24), Vile Vial of Volatile Venom (18), Wavecaller's Seastone (6).
No on-use trinket. 4 of 4 top logs press one with their main cooldown.
What to change
Keep the rotation exactly as it is.
You cancel about 3.5 casts a minute (top logs 1.4), mostly Shadow Bolt and Demonbolt when you move. Plan movement around the cast bar.
7 of your 38 Dominion of Argus windows ended unused (top logs 4-5 of 29).
Gear: every top Demonology log runs Gebbo's Bottomless Bag plus Vile Vial of Volatile Venom and presses the Vial with Tyrant; your Mindpiercer's Sigil has no on-use. Enchants and sockets are all filled.
Pick up every Gravebound fragment (one early death on pull 5), and ask a healer to watch Venomfang on you (7M taken, raid median 1.9M).
Mechanics
Pull 5: Gravebound killed you at 2:59, the third death of the pull. Pick up every soul fragment.
Venomfang did 7.0M to you on Coiled Altar, against a raid median of 1.9M. Ask a healer with a poison dispel to watch for you.
You took 15.6M from Volatile Venom (raid median 5.6M). If you're carrying orbs, that's expected. If not, move away from the carriers.
You broke 2 Eternal Nightfall shields. Good.
Talents
Matches the Method/Icy Veins Diabolist cleave build and 100% of the top logs (Implosion, To Hell and Back, no Power Siphon).
Hero tree Diabolist: same as 30 of 30 top logs.
Guide build: identical to "Raid 2-target cleave".
The numbers
You did 243k DPS on the Twin Fangs kill. The four best Demonology logs on the same hero tree at item level 321–323 did a median of 322k.

Cancelled casts: 3.5 per minute (top 1.4)
Your spec talents and spell mix match the top Sunfury logs almost exactly, so the gap is not what you press. It's preparation. Four enchant slots are empty (chest, feet, head, shoulders; all four top logs have all four) and there was no weapon oil on any of the 12 pulls. On top of that, 11 of your 46 Prismatic Bolt procs were overwritten before you used them, and you are missing one hero talent that 93% of top Arcane Mages take.
Gear and consumables
No chest enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Chest - Mark of the Worldsoul)
No feet enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Boots - Lynx's Dexterity)
No head enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Helm - Empowered Rune of Avoidance)
No shoulder enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Shoulders - Amirdrassil's Grace)
Weapon oil missing on 12 of 12 pulls
Potion on 11 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 0/12.
Trinkets: Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (334), Wavecaller's Seastone (334). Top 30 logs: Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (26), Freightrunner's Flask (26), Wavecaller's Seastone (3).
No on-use trinket. 2 of 4 top logs press one with their main cooldown.
What to change
Enchants: chest, feet, head and shoulders are empty. Weapon oil: none on any pull tonight or last Sunday.
Take Lessons in Debilitation in the Sunfury tree (93% of top logs).
Spend Prismatic Bolt procs the moment they appear; 11 of 46 were overwritten.
Arcane Blast is pure filler. You cast it 45% more than the top logs; that time belongs to Missiles and Prismatic Bolt.
Trinkets: 26 of 30 top Arcane logs run Freightrunner's Flask and press it with Arcane Surge. Your Wavecaller's Seastone has no on-use.
Twin Fangs pull 1: 22 Eternal Venom stacks against 14 for everyone else. Noxious Ground did twice the raid median to you on Coiled Altar.
Mechanics
Twin Fangs pull 1: you gained 22 Eternal Venom stacks, against about 14 for everyone else, and died at 5:36 as the second death.
Noxious Ground did 1.7M to you on Coiled Altar (raid median 0.9M). Move off the puddles under the altar mouths sooner.
You broke 3 Eternal Nightfall shields. Good.
You pre-potted on 4 of 6 intermission pulls and drank 0 potions during the burn. No weapon oil on either night.
Talents
Spec tree matches 100% of the top logs (High Voltage, Resonance, Aether Attunement; no Impetus or Familiar). Hero tree: you are missing Lessons in Debilitation, taken by 93% of top Sunfury logs.
Hero tree Sunfury: same as 30 of 30 top logs.
Missing hero talent Lessons in Debilitation (93% of top).
The numbers
You did 227k DPS on the Twin Fangs kill. The four best Arcane logs on the same hero tree at item level 326–326 did a median of 295k.

Cancelled casts: 1.1 per minute (top 0.3)
Talents are right: they match the Icy Veins raid build and 100% of the top Scalecommander logs, and the empower ranks are correct (Fire Breath and Eternity Surge at Rank 1). So the build is perfect and the chest and shoulders are unenchanted, which is showing up to the exam with the right answers and no pen. Tempo is about 12% fewer casts a minute than the top logs, Hover uptime 55% against 77%, every potion went on the pull instead of the burn, and you died at 6:49 to a Ravenous Feast, the one mechanic on this boss whose name explains what to do about it.
Gear and consumables
No chest enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Chest - Mark of the Worldsoul)
No shoulder enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Shoulders - Amirdrassil's Grace)
Head enchant Enchant Helm - Rune of Avoidance (top logs use Enchant Helm - Empowered Rune of Avoidance)
Potion on 12 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 12/12.
Trinkets: Wavecaller's Seastone (321), Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (321). Top 30 logs: Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (22), Wavecaller's Seastone (19), Vile Vial of Volatile Venom (7).
No on-use trinket. 1 of 4 top logs press one with their main cooldown.
What to change
Enchant your chest and shoulders; all four top logs have both.
Hover on cooldown, before you need to move. Most of the cast gap is movement.
Empowers the moment they come back: Fire Breath, Eternity Surge and Deep Breath each sat 3-4 seconds longer than they needed to.
Potion in the Coiled Altar intermission instead of the pull (0 of 6 tonight).
Noxious Ground did five times the raid median to you on Coiled Altar; get off the altar puddles right after the channel.
The guides' cleave swap (Volatility + Charged Blast) is used by 0% of top Twin Fangs logs. Stay on this build.
Mechanics
Noxious Ground did 4.8M to you on Coiled Altar, more than 5× the raid median of 0.9M. Get off the altar puddles right after the channel.
Toxic Deluge hit you 5 times (raid median 0). Those are the venom splashes that leave orbs.
Twin Fangs pull 3: you died at 3:58 to Toxic Fumes, the second death of the pull. Toxic Fumes is constant raid damage, so you were already low. Use defensives earlier.
On the kill, Ravenous Feast killed you at 6:49. That usually means you soaked a second Feast while still debuffed, or your group was short a soaker.
You pre-potted on all 6 intermission pulls and drank 0 potions during the burn. Weapon oil was only on for 2 of 13 pulls.
Talents
Matches the Icy Veins / Wowhead raid single-target build (Heat Wave, Catalyze, Rising Fury 1/4, Iridescence, Star Salvo) and 96-100% of the top logs. The guides' cleave swap (Volatility + Charged Blast) is used by 0% of top Twin Fangs logs, so stay on this build.
Hero tree Scalecommander: same as 30 of 30 top logs.
You did 214k DPS on the Twin Fangs kill. The four best Devastation logs on the same hero tree at item level 326–326 did a median of 314k.

Talents match the top San'layn logs, gear is in order (full enchants, four gems, Voracious Heart used on every Dark Transformation like the top logs), so the preparation is the best in the DPS group and the script was briefly worried it had nothing to say. Then it opened the rotation. Vampiric Strike 9.5 a minute against 15.7, Soul Reaper 0.8 against 2.4 with 3 of 10 Reaping resets wasted, 16% of Runic Power lost at cap, and melee swings 26 a minute against 35, which means about a quarter of the fight was spent a yard too far from two snakes the size of a bus. And no potions all night, with the potions presumably in the bags next to the enchants that did get applied.
Gear and consumables
Ring 1 enchant Enchant Ring - Nature's Fury (top logs use Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle)
Potion on 0 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 12/12.
Trinkets: Voracious Heart of Ula'tek (308), Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (334). Top 30 logs: Voracious Heart of Ula'tek (28), Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique (17), Keeper's Seething Core (5).
On-use trinket: 5 uses, 5 inside your burst window (top logs: 4 of 4).
What to change
Soul Reaper every time Dark Transformation resets it. It was up 5% of the fight against 15%.
Spend Runic Power: Death Coil 9 against 13 a minute, Vampiric Strike 9.5 against 16, with 16% wasted at cap.
Stay in melee range. A quarter of your swings are missing.
Festering Scythe buff uptime 10% against 17%: it's expiring before you refresh it.
Potions: zero all night. One in each intermission is free damage.
Pull 11: Gravebound at 3:38, second death of the pull.
Mechanics
Pull 11: Gravebound killed you at 3:38, the second death of the pull.
5 Wail of Terror kicks, tied for most in the raid. Good.
No potions at all tonight, after 0.8 per pull last week.
Talents
Matches the Method San'layn single-target build and 93-100% of the top logs (Blightfall, Scourging, Ghoulish Frenzy, Unholy Devotion). All 30 top Unholy logs on Twin Fangs are San'layn, so the guides' Rider default does not apply here.
Hero tree San'layn: same as 30 of 30 top logs.
Nearest guide build "Raid single-target (San'layn alternative)": you lack Outnumber; you have Ghoulish Frenzy instead.
The numbers
You did 171k DPS on the Twin Fangs kill. The four best Unholy logs on the same hero tree at item level 324–325 did a median of 297k.

Your build matches the top Annihilator logs, so talents are not the problem. Gear and one cooldown are. Both rings are unenchanted (all four top logs enchant both), two sockets are empty (belt and a ring), the two gems you do have are item level 278, and neither of your trinkets appears in the top 30 logs for your spec. Soul Immolation is a 60-second cooldown that the top logs press at 4 seconds and every minute after; you pressed it 4 times and the first was at 3:43.
Gear and consumables
No Ring 1 enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle)
No Ring 2 enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle)
Empty sockets: waist, ring 1
Legs enchant +16 Intellect (top logs use +41 Intellect & +115 Stamina)
Head enchant Enchant Helm - Rune of Avoidance (top logs use Enchant Helm - Empowered Rune of Avoidance)
No on-use trinket. 4 of 4 top logs press one with their main cooldown.
What to change
Enchant both rings, fill the two empty sockets (belt, ring), and replace the two 278 gems.
Soul Immolation on the pull and on cooldown: 4 uses against 8-9.
Devour over Consume as filler. You cast Consume 50% more than the top logs and Devour 20% less.
Let Void Ray finish; you cancelled about 2 casts a minute against their 1.
Trinkets: 21 of 30 top Devourers run Freightrunner's Flask, 19 Gebbo's Bottomless Bag, 15 Wavecaller's Seastone. Ruby Whelp Shell and Mindpiercer's Sigil appear in none.
Flask: all four top logs use Flask of the Magisters; you used Shattered Sun. Potion in every intermission (2 of 6).
Mechanics
Twin Fangs: Sanguine Storm hit you 8 times (raid median 2), Caustic Deluge splashes 4 times (median 2), and you took 6× the median from Congealed Gore pools.
Coiled Altar: Axegrinder 2.0M (median 0.9M), Noxious Ground 1.7M (median 0.9M), and one Sever hit from the tank cone.
Pull 8: you died at 4:18 right at the phase 2 push.
5 Wail of Terror kicks, tied for most in the raid. Good.
No pre-pots, which is right, but you only had a potion in 2 of 6 intermissions.
Talents
Matches 100% of the top Annihilator logs (Eradicate, Midnight, Emptiness, Catastrophe, Mass Acceleration, Voidblade). All 30 top Devourer logs on Twin Fangs are Annihilator, so the guides' Void-Scarred recommendation does not apply here.
Hero tree Annihilator: same as 30 of 30 top logs.
The numbers
You did 186k DPS on the Twin Fangs kill. The four best Devourer logs on the same hero tree at item level 320–322 did a median of 261k.

You are 6-8 item levels below the comparison logs, so some gap is gear, and your talents match the top Pack Leader logs. Two things are in your control. Downtime: about 14 seconds a minute not pressing anything against 4 for the top logs, the lowest active time among DPS. And Beast Cleave, up 71% of the fight against 91%: Wild Thrash keeps it up, and you cast it 4.5 times a minute against 6.4, with the first one at 11.6 seconds instead of right after Bestial Wrath. No on-use trinket, where 20 of 30 top logs run Voracious Heart.
Weapon enchant Enchant Weapon - Arcane Mastery (top logs use Rite of the Hash'ey)
Potion on 8 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 12/12.
Trinkets: Keeper's Seething Core (308), Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (318). Top 30 logs: Voracious Heart of Ula'tek (20), Keeper's Seething Core (12), Font of Venomous Rage (9).
No on-use trinket. 2 of 4 top logs press one with their main cooldown.
What to change
Wild Thrash as the first button after Bestial Wrath and on cooldown; it is what keeps Beast Cleave up.
Keep pressing buttons. Kill Command and Barbed Shot both sat on charges (14.8 and 7.6 a minute against 16.3 and 9.3).
Enchants and sockets are all filled; nothing to fix there.
Trinkets: Voracious Heart of Ula'tek is in 20 of 30 top logs and fires with Bestial Wrath. Keeper's Seething Core (12 of 30) is fine; Gebbo's is in 6.
Stay out of the tank's Sever cone on Coiled Altar (first death on pulls 5 and 6), and cross behind the Vile Flood laser on Twin Fangs.
Mechanics
Sever killed you at 1:00 on pull 5 and 1:17 on pull 6, the first death both times. Sever is the tank's cone. Stand to the side of the boss, never in front.
Twin Fangs pull 2: Vile Flood killed you at 5:37. Vile Flood did 1.7M to you against a raid median of 0.6M. Find the laser's direction early and cross behind it.
Pull 11: Gloombomb killed you at 4:09. Run out of the group before it goes off, then collect your fragments.
Talents
Matches the top logs (Wild Thrash, Beast Cleave, Kill Cleave, Laceration, Razor Sharp). Training Expert over Aspect of the Beast is the Method flex choice and 83% of top logs take it.
Hero tree Pack Leader: same as 30 of 30 top logs.
Nearest guide build "Raid 2-target cleave": you lack Aspect of the Beast; you have Training Expert instead.
The numbers
You did 164k DPS on the Twin Fangs kill. The four best BeastMastery logs on the same hero tree at item level 319–324 did a median of 261k.

Your build is the standard Herald cleave build and matches 100% of the top logs. Everything else needs work. You spent about 12 seconds a minute not attacking (top logs: 1), which shows as 34 Crusading Strikes a minute against 46 and 42% of Holy Power wasted at cap. On two targets the top logs cast Divine Storm 23 times a minute; you cast it 11. Gear: two trinkets (Sszorak's Ferocity, Blazebinder's Hoof) that appear in 2 and 0 of the top 30 logs; 25 of 30 run Voracious Heart of Ula'tek and Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique.
Gear and consumables
Potion on 8 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 12/12.
Trinkets: Sszorak's Ferocity (321), Blazebinder's Hoof (321). Top 30 logs: Voracious Heart of Ula'tek (25), Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique (25), Vile Vial of Volatile Venom (3).
No on-use trinket. 4 of 4 top logs press one with their main cooldown.
What to change
Stay in melee range. A quarter of your attack time was lost.
Divine Storm instead of Final Verdict on two targets.
Spend Holy Power before it caps (42% wasted), and use Divine Protection (0 uses).
Trinkets: swap toward Voracious Heart of Ula'tek and Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique as they drop.
Gravebound killed you three times: step on all your fragments within 15 seconds. Sever once: stay out of the tank's cone.
Mechanics
Gravebound killed you at 6:29 on pull 9 and at 5:19 and 6:43 on pull 10 (after a battle rez), the first or second death each time. You took 85M from Gravebound, against a raid median of 4M. Step on all your fragments within about 15 seconds.
Pull 13: Sever killed you at 1:00, the first death. Stay out of the tank's cone.
Twin Fangs pull 2: Ravenous Feast killed you at 2:17, the first death. Don't soak two Feasts in a row while you have the Feasted debuff.
Talents
Matches the Method/Icy Veins Herald of the Sun cleave build (Blade of Vengeance + Blessed Champion) and 100% of the top logs.

Your build matches the top Oracle logs and your casting matches them almost line for line: Benediction, Flash Heal, Serenity and Prayer of Mending are all within 10%, and Echo of Light uptime is higher than theirs (76% against 63%). Gear is complete. The small things: three of the top four logs run Flask of the Shattered Sun to your Magisters, your head, chest, feet and shoulder enchants are all different picks from the top logs, overhealing is a little higher (33% against 28%), and Angelic Feather is used less (0.8 against 2.0 a minute).
Gear and consumables
Chest enchant Enchant Chest - Mark of the Magister (top logs use Enchant Chest - Mark of the Worldsoul)
Potions and healthstones on progress pulls (one potion, no healthstones all night).
Angelic Feather on yourself for the movement phases.
Enchant picks: top logs use Mark of the Worldsoul (chest), Shaladrassil's Roots (feet), Empowered Hex of Leeching (head), Silvermoon's Mending (shoulders). Yours work; theirs are the healer versions.
Flask of the Shattered Sun is the top-log pick for Holy.
Mechanics
Your one early death was on pull 12 at 3:51, the first death of the phase 2 push wipe.
Vile Flood did 1.2M to you on Twin Fangs (median 0.6M).
One potion and no healthstones all night.
Talents
Matches the top Oracle logs. The only split is Lightburst (73% take it, you don't); guides disagree on it.

You carried the Venomfang dispels (22 of the raid's 40), your build matches the top Flameshaper logs, Dream Breath is correctly at Rank 1, and your gear is complete. The gap is throughput: 48 casts a minute against 66, with about 19 seconds a minute not casting against 8. Emerald Blossom was 8.6 a minute against 12.9, Verdant Embrace 6 casts against 13, Living Flame 1.4 against 3.6. Blessing of the Bronze was not up at the pull, Obsidian Scales was never used, and all four top logs run Flask of the Magisters to your Blood Knights.
Gear and consumables
Ring 1 enchant Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle (top logs use Enchant Ring - Zul'jin's Mastery)
Ring 2 enchant Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle (top logs use Enchant Ring - Zul'jin's Mastery)
Weapon enchant Rite of the Hash'ey (top logs use Enchant Weapon - Arcane Mastery)
Flask: Flask of the Blood Knights (top logs use Flask of the Magisters)
Potion on 0 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 12/12.
Trinkets: Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (334), Soulcoiler Ritual Vessel (321). Top 30 logs: Soulcoiler Ritual Vessel (26), Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (14), Wavecaller's Seastone (5).
What to change
Fill the gaps: Emerald Blossom on Essence Burst and Living Flame when nothing else is up.
Verdant Embrace on cooldown (6 uses against 13).
Blessing of the Bronze before the pull, and Obsidian Scales when you take a hit.
Flask of the Magisters is what every top Preservation log runs. No potions all night.
Ring enchants: Eyes of the Eagle on both; the top logs use Zul'jin's Mastery. Weapon: Rite of the Hash'ey to their Arcane Mastery.
On the kill a Caustic Globule killed you at 7:06; globules are a one-player soak at low venom.
Mechanics
On the kill, a Caustic Globule killed you at 7:06. Globules should be soaked by one player with low venom stacks. Don't double up, and don't soak one at high stacks.
Eternal Venom killed you early on Twin Fangs pull 1 (6:19) and pull 3 (4:43).
Vile Flood did 1.0M to you (median 0.6M).

Time not casting: 18.8 s per minute (top 7.8); longest gap 12.5s (top 2.6s). Casts per minute 48.1 (top 66.2).
Your build matches the top Oracle logs and your gear is nearly complete (feet and shoulder enchants are missing; all four top logs have both). This is about what you cast. About 13 of your casts per minute on Twin Fangs were damage spells (Smite, Holy Fire, Chastise, Holy Nova); the top logs cast almost none, and this is the most un-Canadian thing on the page. That is why Benediction was 6.5 a minute against 12.8, Flash Heal 4.5 against 9.8 and Holy Word: Serenity 26 casts against 55. You also gain Eternal Venom stacks far faster than anyone else (20-23 per wipe against 14), which is why you were one of the first two deaths on 3 of the 4 pulls. The venom is 9 stacks deep and she's still saying 'sorry' to the people she's dying next to. Augment rune on every pull, which tracks: the stereotype is politeness, and buffing the raid before the pull is the politest thing in the game.
Gear and consumables
No feet enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Boots - Shaladrassil's Roots)
No shoulder enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Shoulders - Silvermoon's Mending)
Potion on 11 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 12/12.
Flash Heal into Benediction as the filler instead of Smite; it feeds Serenity too.
Prayer of Mending on cooldown (4.5 against 7.2 a minute) and Guardian Spirit when someone drops (1 use).
Enchant your feet and shoulders (Shaladrassil's Roots, Silvermoon's Mending in the top logs).
Dodge the Corrosive Spit lines and cross behind Vile Flood; your venom stacks climb at 1.5x the raid's rate.
7 of 17 Surge of Light procs expired unused.
Mechanics
You gained 23, 20 and 22 Eternal Venom stacks on the three Twin Fangs wipes. Most of the raid gained about 14. Eternal Venom killed you at 5:28 (first death), 3:03 (second) and 2:29 (first).
Corrosive Spit hit you 9 times (raid median 4). If a Spawn of Vexhul fixates on you, turn so the spit line points away from everyone, then move out of it.
Vile Flood did 3.7M to you, six times the raid median of 0.6M. Find the laser's direction early and cross behind it.
Coiled Altar pull 13: you died at 4:05, the second death, right at the phase 2 push.

Your gear still thinks you're a healer: the leg enchant is +41 Intellect and +4% Mana, both rings carry Zul'jin's Mastery where every top Ret uses Eyes of the Eagle, and one gem is item level 278. Hammer of Wrath was 2.2 a minute against 6.5, 7 of 19 Divine Arbiter procs expired, and only 2 of your 4 trinket uses landed inside Avenging Wrath. No potions all night. You died at 1:11 on the kill, which lowers every number here.
Gear and consumables
Weapon oil missing on 1 of 12 pulls
Legs enchant +41 Intellect & +4% Mana (top logs use +41 Agility/Strength & +115 Stamina)
Ring 1 enchant Enchant Ring - Zul'jin's Mastery (top logs use Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle)
Ring 2 enchant Enchant Ring - Zul'jin's Mastery (top logs use Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle)
Low-quality gems: Flawless Quick Garnet (278)
Flask: Flask of the Shattered Sun (top logs use Flask of the Magisters)
Potion on 0 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 11/12.
Trinkets: Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (334), Vile Vial of Volatile Venom (321). Top 30 logs: Voracious Heart of Ula'tek (25), Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique (25), Vile Vial of Volatile Venom (3).
On-use trinket: 4 uses, 2 inside your burst window (top logs: 3 of 3).
What to change
Divine Storm, not Final Verdict, on two targets.
Swap Swift Justice for Light of Justice (90% of top logs).
Fix the healer leftovers: Intellect leg enchant on a Ret set, Zul'jin's Mastery on both rings, a 278 gem.
Press the Vial of Volatile Venom with Avenging Wrath; 2 of 4 uses were aligned. Top Rets run Voracious Heart and Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique.
Hammer of Wrath on cooldown, spend Divine Arbiter procs (7 of 19 expired), and drink a potion in the intermission (0 all night).
Four early deaths: Ravenous Feast at 1:11 on the kill, Guillotine on pull 5, the phase 2 push on pull 9, Dreadful Presence on pull 11.
Mechanics
Twin Fangs kill: Ravenous Feast killed you at 1:11, the first death.
Coiled Altar: Guillotine at 2:13 on pull 5 (second death), the phase 2 push at 4:13 on pull 9 (first), and Dreadful Presence at 3:33 on pull 11 (first, so you were already low).
Grim Guillotine did 4.0M to you over 4 soaks (median 1.0M over 4). That usually means too few soakers in your group, or soaking with the previous soak's debuff still up.
Sanguine Storm hit you 10 times on Twin Fangs (median 2). Weapon oil was on for 6 of 13 pulls.
Talents
One swap: Light of Justice instead of Swift Justice (90% of top logs). Everything else matches the Herald of the Sun cleave build.
Hero tree Herald of the Sun: same as 30 of 30 top logs.
Missing Light of Justice, taken by 90% of top logs.
You have Swift Justice, taken by 10% of top logs.
Nearest guide build "Raid 2-target cleave (Herald of the Sun)": you lack Light of Justice; you have Swift Justice instead.
The numbers
You did 124k DPS on the Twin Fangs kill. The four best Retribution logs on the same hero tree at item level 321–324 did a median of 310k.

Survival is fine: Bone Shield 98%, Blood Plague 96%, one early death all night. Gear is a different story, and the story is that there isn't any: chest, legs, feet, head and shoulders unenchanted (all four top logs enchant all five), Fallen Crusader on the weapon where every top Blood runs Sanguination, and no oil on any of the 12 pulls. Neither trinket has an on-use; 24 of 30 top logs run Voracious Heart and Zul'jin's. In the rotation, Dancing Rune Weapon was first pressed at 1:31 (top logs: 2 seconds), so the opener cooldown opened a minute and a half in, Blood Boil was 6.8 a minute against 10.4 with 38 Boiling Point procs expiring, and Bloodworms is taken by 16% of top logs where 80% take Bloodied Blade.
Gear and consumables
No chest enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Chest - Mark of the Worldsoul)
No legs enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: +41 Agility/Strength & +115 Stamina)
No feet enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Boots - Farstrider's Hunt)
No head enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Helm - Empowered Blessing of Speed)
No shoulder enchant (4 of 4 top logs have one: Enchant Shoulders - Akil'zon's Swiftness)
Weapon oil missing on 12 of 12 pulls
Weapon enchant Rune of the Fallen Crusader (top logs use Rune of Sanguination)
Potion on 11 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 0/12.
Trinkets: Manaheart's Binding Flame (311), Keeper's Seething Core (308). Top 30 logs: Voracious Heart of Ula'tek (24), Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique (24), Tumor of the Swarm (5).
No on-use trinket. 3 of 4 top logs press one with their main cooldown.
What to change
Five empty enchant slots: chest, legs, feet, head, shoulders. Rune of Sanguination on the weapon. Oil on every pull.
Dancing Rune Weapon on the pull and on cooldown; it is a damage cooldown, not a defensive. Raise Dead was also first cast at 2:01.
Blood Boil on procs and charges: 38 Boiling Point procs expired and 16 of 35 Crimson Scourge procs were overwritten.
Swap Bloodworms for Bloodied Blade, and take Bloody Fortitude and Vampiric Speed in the San'layn tree (80% of top logs each).
Trinkets: Voracious Heart of Ula'tek and Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique are the top-log pair; yours have no on-use.
Keep Ithraz in melee range: Clotted Bolt hit you 11 times on Twin Fangs.
Mechanics
Clotted Bolt hit you 11 times for 6.1M on Twin Fangs. It only fires when Ithraz isn't tanked in melee.
Your one early death was Gravebound at 7:11 on pull 6.
Talents
Spec: Bloodworms (16% of top) instead of Bloodied Blade (80%). Hero (San'layn): missing Bloody Fortitude and Vampiric Speed, both 80% of top logs. Everything else matches the Icy Veins San'layn raid build.
Hero tree San'layn: same as 30 of 30 top logs.
Missing Bloodied Blade, taken by 80% of top logs.
You have Bloodworms, taken by 17% of top logs.
Missing hero talent Bloody Fortitude (80% of top).
Missing hero talent Vampiric Speed (80% of top).
Nearest guide build "Raid tanking (San'layn) - Icy Veins": you lack Bloodied Blade; you have Deadly Reach instead.
The numbers
You did 79k DPS on the Twin Fangs kill. The four best Blood logs on the same hero tree at item level 315–321 did a median of 170k.

Crimson Scourge: 16 of 35 procs overwritten (top 8 of 29)

The raid's best shield breaker, a reliable Venomfang dispeller, and Shield of the Righteous uptime of 99%, all of it done on one working foot, so the tank parts of tanking are handled and the walking parts are being graded on a curve. The talent tree is where it gets interesting: 29 of 30 top Protection logs are Lightsmith, four spec talents they take at 80-90% are missing, and several of yours are taken by under 10%, so the build is less 'off-meta' and more 'a meta of one'. Neither trinket is in the top five (25 of 30 run Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique, 14 Voracious Heart). 17% of Holy Power wasted at cap against 6%, Hammer of Wrath 3.4 a minute against 7.9, and Consecration recast twice as often as the top logs, which is fair: it's the one spot on the platform he's medically cleared to stand on. No weapon oil or potion on any pull. The oil was on last week, so it isn't unknown, it's been reclassified as optional. The foot is a valid excuse for exactly one of the things on this card and it isn't the oil.
Gear and consumables
Ring 1 enchant Enchant Ring - Silvermoon's Alacrity (top logs use Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle)
Ring 2 enchant Enchant Ring - Silvermoon's Alacrity (top logs use Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle)
Weapon enchant Enchant Weapon - Berserker's Rage (top logs use Enchant Weapon - Acuity of the Ren'dorei)
Potion on 0 of 12 pulls. Food 12/12, flask 12/12, oil 12/12.
Trinkets: First Mate's Shellward (321), Coiled Fangstone (321). Top 30 logs: Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique (25), Voracious Heart of Ula'tek (14), Tumor of the Swarm (7).
On-use trinket: 10 uses, 6 inside your burst window (top logs: 4 of 4).
What to change
Compare your tree with the Method/seemeta Lightsmith raid build: Ferren Marcus's Fervor, Focused Enmity, Consecration in Flame and Vision of Sanctity are missing.
Spend Holy Power before it caps (17% wasted).
Hammer of Wrath on cooldown, and only recast Consecration when you leave it.
Weapon oil was missing tonight, and both ring enchants (Silvermoon's Alacrity) differ from what every top log uses (Eyes of the Eagle).
6 of 10 trinket uses landed with Avenging Wrath or Sentinel; aim for all of them. No potions all night.
Pull 10: Venom Rupture at 5:48, second death of the pull.
Mechanics
Credited with 5 Eternal Nightfall interrupts (shield breaks), the most in the raid, plus 6 Venomfang dispels.
Clotted Bolt hit you 4 times on Twin Fangs. Keep Ithraz in place.
Pull 10: Venom Rupture killed you at 5:48, the second death of the pull.
Talents
Hero tree: Lightsmith is used by 29 of 30 top logs and recommended by Method; Icy Veins recommends Templar. Missing spec talents taken by 80-90% of top logs: Ferren Marcus's Fervor, Focused Enmity, Consecration in Flame, Vision of Sanctity. Talents you have that under 10% take: Strength in Adversity, Soaring Shield, Undying Embers. Final Stand and Light of the Titans are 23%.
