Healing tonic usage. Healing tonics should be used when possible as they are stronger than healthstones. Across our 11 wipes here is our usage https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Kn61z3Gaj2NkdYWg#boss=1713&wipes=1&type=healing&ability=156438 here is our healthstone usage https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Kn61z3Gaj2NkdYWg#boss=1713&wipes=1&type=healing&ability=6262. Spinal healing injector is also just as powerful as a healing tonic but is a reusable engineering item. Crit and Memph use this, and here is their usage https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Kn61z3Gaj2NkdYWg#boss=1713&wipes=1&type=healing&ability=82184.

Obviously healing tonics shouldn't he used every pull but particularly on wipe 10 which was incredibly close people should be using healing tonics or spinal healing injector. If they can't get those then at the very least use a healthstone.

Our kill was very, very close and I think there a few very easily identifiable issues here. Firstly it is second potion usage. Kazenoko and Bigtool both neglected this and were not dead when heroism was used. The pots should have been used, roughly 15% of our dps not using their second pots isn't good at all.  The second problem is a few people appear to be neglecting their cooldowns or not using them properly. I'm using Jurias as an example of proper cooldown usage here as he managed to save his recklessness for both stone pillars we go through as well as use it on the boss later, albeit slightly after hero due to how the timing worked out. Kazenoko missed an ascendance usage, Danellos not only failed to use his second incarnation during the pillars but as a result didn't get to use a third one, Bigtool is probably the worst example here. He used recklessness on the first stone pillar but neglected it on the second stone pillar and also during the burn phase. He had recklessness ready for just over 4 minutes and didn't use it.

Another issue was pillar damage. I noticed that certain people weren't saving their CDs for pillars. I think some of these are understandable. Vendetta and Shadow Reflection follow a target so using them on the pillars isn't viable as you have to switch. Also some CDs don't have fixed CDs so are used on CD, such as a war with AM or spirit wolves with shaman set bonus. However fixed CDs need to be used on the pillars. Things like siegebreaker need to be used on pillars. We can see jurias saving this but bigtool doesn't and the difference in their damage is noticeable. That's straight up 80k damage being missed on pillars by not using siegebreaker on it. I think we also missed a trick my not asking for touch of death on the pillars, but I don't know if that's possible as sometimes touch doesn't work on certain targets. I also don't know if 3 chi is affordable given healing can be intense.

Overall our damage was significantly lower than our first kill on the boss. We took a whole extra minute to defeat the boss. Our effective DPS on the whole was a lot lower for some reason, I think we can chalk that up to comp however.
