Cata - Heroic Vortex Pinnacle

[Klesh]

So, I've just started tackling heroic mobs, and started with the first one in this zone. The only issue I really have is with the trash right before him. The two Cloud princes.

I've tried killing the adds first, I've Tried focusing on a prince. Neither way works for me, I wiped several times each time I've been in.

About the only thing I found that kind of works is to blow all my cool downs (heroism) pain suppression, all the Prot tank cool downs.

If I dont' do this it seems I can't keep up with the dmg ( even am healing about with my 2x shaman )

Am i missing something here? No one has mentioned the two cloud princes so I'm thinking maybe I'm being dense and missing something obvious.

Do you try to move out of their Starfall type AoE? It really hurts, especially when you've just started with heroics. Early on, my (single) healer was struggling to keep my tank alive too, running out of mana at the end of the fight.
I've never killed the adds, I've focused on the Cloud Princes and tried to avoid their AoE. Sometimes you are still taking a beating cause they daze too, making it harder to escape their Starfall dmg. Things get easier with better gear.

Thanks for the tip!

I haven't really been actively avoiding the star fall, will try that. Mana wise I've been ok, just damage spiking I can't keep up with healing. Maybe the star fall dmg is pushing things past what I can heal through.

I'll try again tonight!
