[Farnion 8]

Immerseus:

• Slowing adds: Glyph of Death and Decay & Chilblains
• Gripping adds: Death Grip and Gorefiend's Grasp
• Anti-Magic Shell to soak damage at end of p2 when adds reach the boss
• Death Pact is very strong in the damage spikes, when the adds reach the boss, since you may be out of healer range
• Festival Lantern could be useful for quickly AoEing adds

Protectors:

• Anti-Magic Shell / Anti-Magic Zone for Inferno Strike (Rook's desperatue measure) and/or Sun's deaspreate measure phase
• Asphyxiate can be useful for 10man as an additional interrupt in Rook's desprate measure phase for kicking Corruption Shock 

Norushen:

• plenty of magic damage to soak with Anti-Magic Shell

Sha of Pride:

• you should grip the big add spawning in the back of the room to your group
• Use Death's Advance, if on prison duty
• plenty of magic damage to soak with Anti-Magic Shell

Galakras:

• if not on tower duty, take Asphyxiate for more interrupts
• Anti-Magic Shell / Anti-Magic Zone very useful in p2
• a lot of adds to grip, Glyph of Death Grip should be worth using
• You can grip bone crusher while they channel their attack, as well as stun them using Asphyxiate
• Tier 6 talent depends on  your group: Gorefiend's Grasp is useful for quickly grouping the adds for AoE, but Remorseless Winter provides more add control/damage reduction

Iron Juggernaut:

• You can soak crawler mines quite easily. Use following glyphs: Glyph of Shifting Presences & Glyph of Icebound Fortitude: With full HP, it is enough to just switch to Blood Presence. If you don't have full HP (for example in P2) you should make use of Icebound Fortitude and/or heal yourself using Death Pact before soaking the mine.

Dark Shamans:

• Slowing green adds: Use Glyph of Death and Decay for additional slow/damage
• You can try to spread your diseases to the adds altough it is kind of risky. Use Anti-Magic Shell and be quick
• If still having problems with the adds Chilblains can be chosen (ideal for frost, for unholy only if you manage to spread your diseases, see point above). But this reduces your mobility by not having Death's Advance, and you have to move a lot on this fight

Nazgrim:

• Asphyxiate is very useful for stunning adds, although you lose some of your mobility
• Gorefiend's Grasp is useful for quickly grouping the adds for AoE, or Remorseless Winter for stunning. Especially towards the end, since there will be more adds present

Malkorok:

• Standing on max melee range and using Death's Advance allows you to also soak Imploding Energy at the edge of the room (if the desiganted player is dead or not in position)
• Use Anti-Magic Shell if you have to soak Imploding Energy. Since normally you are not expected to soak every void, it should be always up, if you have to.
• Use Icebound Fortitude in the Blood Rage phase

Spoils of Pandaria:

• Gorefiend's Grasp is useful for quickly grouping the adds for AoE, or Remorseless Winter for stunning.
• If needed, use Asphyxiate as an additional interrupt
• Glyph of Icy Touch can be useful in the mantid quarter for removing Residue and/or Rage of the Empress

Thok:

• Although Fearsome Roar is purely physical, Anti-Magic Shell will help a lot if you are affected by Corrosive Blood or Freezing Breath. Since multiple players may be affected by this and the dot damage is one of the problematic abilities, even Anti-Magic Zone should help your healers
• Rather obvious, but use Death's Advance if you are targeted by Fixate and Blood Frenzy already has a couple of stacks. You should not need the boost if you are fixated in the beginning and keep in mind that you can get fixated multiple times

Siegecrafter Blackfuse:

• Anti-Magic Shell will be your friend. You will get a lot of runic power by soaking the unavoidable Overload and prevent a lot of damage. Also useful if you have troubles dodging Matter Purification Beam on the conveyor belt. Also keep in mind both glyphs. Glyph of Anti-Magic Shell helps in soaking Overload, Glyph of Regenerative Magic should be useful, if you need AMS on the belt.
• Being on the belt, it is much easier to just run (instead of jump) into the tubes at the end of the belt. Death's Advance should give you enough flexibility
• Taking Unholy Blight as a talent choice is advisable, especially if being on belt business due to more frequent disease applications needed

/edit: Oh, thought you would copy that and replace the spells with nice links.

Since you just linked it, I edited in the spells myself and corrected some typos

Thanks for editing. I don't have the time to copy/paste/edit for all the threads, so I decided that for T16, I'd just link to the contributions. It's better than eventually falling behind and not being motivated anymore to keep things updated.

[Farnion 8]

added some tips in my post above (sha, juggernaut, shamans and nazgrim)

[Ceraius 34]

Malkorok

 

Pop army pre-pull and when the Ancient Miasma is applied, immediately Death Pact to get a great boost to the shield right from the start.

[Farnion 8]

added some tips to malkorok, spoils and thok

[Farnion 8]

and some blackfuse tips added

[Lestaris 2]

Just putting in that, using Dark Simulacrum on Wavebinder Kardris in the Dark Shaman encounter will steal Froststorm Bolt. This scales with frost DK mastery and can crit in excess of 1m damage easily. Using the glyph is recommended to lower the CD.

Sorry for the delay, but I finally managed to find some time to update the opening thread (got married recently )

For DPS and Tanking.

 

Iron Juggernaut (HC):

- You can use Anti-Magic Zone on the Shock Pulse to reduce damage taken to raid. Preferably used on the first.

- You can use Anti-Magic Shell with glyph to compleetly soak a Shock Pulse

- Recommended to use Lichborne + Anit Magic Shell (glyphed) on last Shock Pulse to quickly heal yourself and run back to the boss. (Only works if you don't use Anti-Magic Zone)

 

Kor'kron Dark Shaman (HC):

-You can use Anti-Magic Zone to further reduce the damage taken from Falling Ash.

 

Malkorok (HC) 10-man:

- Soak the puddles with AMS up for instant full runic power, use Anti-Magic Shell glyph.

 

Thok (HC):

- Help out the tank on the 5th stack of the Frost breath with Anti-Magic Zone to reduce the damage taken from the breath right before freezing.

- If you're tanking you can compleetly soak a Poison/Fire/Frost breath with Anti-Magic Shell (Must be using the anti-magic shell glyph) you'll be able to cheese a stack of the tank debuff and sometimes even resetting the stacks if timed perfectly.

- When the tank gets frozen use Howling Blast/Death Coil to get him out faster.

 

Siegecrafter HC:

-Use AMZ during the empowered magnet phase to reduce dmg taken, preferably ontop of the tanks/melee to help out the healers.

-Use AMZ to reduce the damage taken from the shockpulse from the Shredder.

 

Klaxxi HC:

- Aim can be soaked compleetly with Purgatory, make sure to have a pet sac and healthstone ready to heal you back up.

-AMZ is extreemly usefull to help reduce damage taken by the fiery edge debuff.

-Anti Magic Shell will absorb a whole fiery edge debuff if you shift presence to blood together with Shifting presence glyph and anti magic shell glyph.

 

 

Garrosh Normal:

-The Whirling Corruption can be compleetly soaked with AMS if you're using the glyph and shit pressence.
