A few months back someone asked about what heroics to start with and I said Oculus if you know a trick or two with the drakes and gave a brief rundown of 5x ruby drake strat. I was surprised at the responses and was asked to post it elsewhere etc. I was lazy, but finally I got a new computer and decided I would just make a video of it. Just about everything that can go wrong went wrong. I haven't boxed in about 2 months so all my mods on the slaves were out of date. Basically nothing was set up right. But you dont need anything set up, stock ui, no fancy macros or mods.
Basic strat is to land on one of the platforms. drop all your totems, mount up and leave your healer toon behind to heal and use the phase ability when he shifts. I totally noob the start of the video. Im too far forward and agro the boss early, no one is facing the correct direction. Im out of range of the healer and totems. I have to type out all my commands because my ui on the slaves are broken. No one has the correct targets. I dont know what my healer was doing but shes casting heals somewhere loosing mana but its not at me. In the end though you can see its a stupid silly easy-sauce encounter.
Im guessing you could prolly keep the 4th shaman on a drake if you have healing specs for all the shaman and the totems would be enough to keep them alive. You will heal to full when you do the phase ability.
Other things to do is give your healer a runescroll, king drums, mark drums and buff the group when they are on the drakes. You will prolly get an extra 60% or more hp to mess with as well. My totems were enough to keep the healer toon alive, but if your a bit squishy earth shield should be enough.
