Symbiosis is progressing very nicely. We managed to kill Teron Gorefiend on our 5th attempt ever. We started in Hyjal and 1 shotted Azgalor and then headed over to BT to take a look at Gorefiend. Our fearless guild leader inspired us by saying we would not kill him tonight, but it would be good to start learning. Shows what he knows! :) Our first attempt we had him at 25%, so I could already see he was going down that night.
If your guild is getting ready to attempt him for the first time I recommend you hit up the Teron Gorefiend Simulator for practice at controlling your constructs. It was a great help in getting everyone used to the idea.
The fight is basically a tank and spank and is a race against raid attrition. As more and more people go down to the debuff you are slowly going to lose more and more DPS. His damage also slowly grows as the fight goes on.
Here is the healing setup we used that worked well:
4 healers assigned to the MT at all times.
3 raid healers, with 1 raid healer assigned to float to cleansing or MT duty depending on if a healer gets shadow of death.
1 full time cleanser for the incinerate. We had our prot pally on this.
Every wipe on the fight was due to contructs getting into the raid. If everyone handles their constructs well then he is not too difficult at all. Funny how random events work. I practiced the flash game a ton to be ready, and not once in 5 fights did I ever get the debuff. My only concern with it is the buttons with my Bongos mod, but aside from UI issues I am confident I can handle the constructs without an issue. I was hoping to get the debuff once to see how my UI reacts, and I created a couple macros on my sidebar just in case I had button problems.
