Steelbreaker down

We got Steelbreaker tonight. Here's some details of what we did
  • Dropped down to 3 hunter soakers. Put a shaman with healing stream totem in their group as well as the shadow priest for Vamp Embrace to provide some extra peripheral healing on the soakers
  • We relied on dropping in 3 tank phases. We stopped having our tanks run out when they are low and instead just used DBM range checker. /range - set it to 15 yards. Tank makes sure there is nobody else in range and as the countdown is coming they just stand there until the last second.
  • We preplanned druid innervates onto healers that would need before Phase 3. When Brundir was at about 10% the feral druid and boomkin innervate the two holy priests who were, at this point, in desperate need of some mana. But you do it now so that you aren't wasting the GCD during the burn.
  • Also at 10%, Isisnile (our 2nd tank) taunts Steelbreaker to gain a tonne of threat, Bigunit then immediately taunts back. This secures Isis as #2 on the threat list. As we go into the burn phase, Isis doesn't have to taunt during the first transition. Bigunit dies and Steelbreaker automatically turns onto Isisnile. This buys us a few extra seconds for the burn.
  • And of course - full DPS consummables including speed pots and Wild Magic pots.
Congratulations Whisperwind Eleven! On to Yogg+3
