Rotate your players to soak Shards of Torment.
DPS
SOAK SHARDS
OF TORMENT
Every 30s, Baleroc summons a Shard of Torment (two in 25 man), which casts Torment on the closest player within 15 yards.
Being the closest player to a Shard of Torment grants you Torment stacks, which give healers stacks of Vital Spark on direct heals.
If no player is within 15 yards of a Shard of Torment, it AoEs the whole raid for massive damage.
DPS
ROTATE SHARD
SOAKING
When Torment runs out, the player gets Tormented. This increases shadow damage taken by 250% and reduces healing done by 50%.
Rotate who soaks and avoid soaking as a healer.
