It takes next to no effort to dodge the attacks he uses...you have like 3 full seconds to run through him when he starts casting dark smash (It only takes about .2 seconds to run through him). Also when he starts casting roar you have awhile to jump on your casters).

All you should be doing is staring at his cast bar and reacting as necessary.
The Roar I avoid everytime now. Easy cake now that I was paying attention. I didn't actually think about Smash though. I think I'll disable my SCT on my tank so I can see the warning a little better.

Since your shamans are 75 make sure your usuing lava burst after a flame shock. i have a castsequenece macro for it. it does an insane amount of damage, almost killed the first boss before his skeletons could rez. But as for the last boss after you kill him in phase one drop mana totems if you need and heal up and run behind a pillar. on all my attempts he does that aoe right off the bat and knocks me down to half hp. then drop fire elementals and bloodlust. then on you tank just run through him when he does that slam or smash. just make sure you flame shock lava burt when its up. i know mine are hitting for 4700ish.

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=38361 this item may help also. you get it from doing the dailies.

I never have been grouping my shammies up after phase 1 I have just been leaving them and I think you are correct they get hit by the AOE right off the bat. I do have my shammies spread around all the pillars so maybe I should just group them around 1 pillar to make it easier for myself?

good luck
