Raid Leader: BWD Magmaw 25 man

Since I'm an occasional raid leader (with Vanguard, The Sha'tar EU) I thought I would share some of the loser notes which are written in my "raid leader book"! When I read tactics I try to summarise them as succinctly as possible in order to get to the main points without having a load of waffle. So, here is what's in my book for Magmaw (hereafter referred to as 'M') 25 man, see if you can make any sense of it.

Before you start...
- Separate into three camps - tank (front of M), melee (left of M) and ranged/healers (in the brown bit on the floor)
- At the start, allocate three people to jump on Magmaw's head, and one person to call out on Mumble (Vent, TS, whatever) when to use chains
- Bloodlust on first time M's head goes down

Tanks (x2) - Hit M. When you get mangled, if you are not freed by the last ~5 seconds, use a strong CD. Then switch tank and repeat.

Melee - Hit M. Look out for pulling aggro around the time of tank switch - take a few steps back.

Ranged - Move out of red circle, nuke parasites. If you are infected, get out.

Healers - Move out with ranged. Extra heals on tank when he is being mangled. Heal through lava spew ranged missiles.

That's all....although if you're tanking this and leading you'll need to have eyes in the back of your head to see when to tell the ranged to move. I reccommend a quick camera twizzle.
