Yeah I read that post about /cast random and /cast sequence. I think for me personally using cast sequence is probably better only in that I hate to have to try and remember during a boss fight to apply flame shock. I'd rather just spam one button cause there is enough going on. I'm using one shammy resto ATM so that is no good.

I managed to down Eck finally when I changed to the cast sequence macro. DPS race FTW. I managed to down Collosus first try as well. Pretty easy boss there. However Saladran is who caused me problems. I just couldn't focus enough DPS on him fast enough before the snakes overwhelm my shammies (cause I ignore them) and my resto goes down first and then its game over from there. I attempt to wait as long as possible before doing my TS on my chars (cause I don't RR it) and it kills them all cause in that fight I link it with Elemental Mastery.

I realized that I can probably up my +spellpower by about 100 on all my chars through an upgrade to Rev's set and spellpower enchant to gloves and bracers as well.
Just takes time to learn the best ways to do the strats, i actually wiped about 100% durability to 0% durability on the snake guy 2 times in a row, just learning the fight.

I used to fight him in his room, then i moved to the water/entrance area, now i fight him in the second room, having my shamans on the middle mound of bones halfway up, With my tank fightning him near max range. I drop my concecrete back on the slow and move up to engage him, sometimes it helps, but sometimes the snakes move right through so, after the pile of snakes is amassing, i usually Tstorm and then drop all 3 fire elementals, and 75% of the time the fire elementals concentrate on the snakes rather then the boss. also, everyone has a strat that they like. Its just a matter of you getting to a point where you have a strat that you live, over time youll get to a point where you say this encounter, and will probable be back for the drakkari colossus, where i still have problems with today, but hes still do-able even with all the movement.
The reason I suggest to move you guys to the entrance area is that if they are on a different level than the tank they don't get hit by the poison AE, which is not trivial in heroics. However one or two dps may die as the snakes ignore my tank. TS x4 usually can finish them off at end of fight.
