Tank the Dark Manifestation adds 20 yards away from the boss, so he does not absorb their Mana.

Drag the Dark Manifestation adds into the Void zones to stop them from casting Dark Offering.

Mass Entanglement can help create gaps in the room for your team to dodge together.

Wild Charge is great value on this fight, due to the tank mechanic Abyssal Strike having a small knockback aspect.

Position the boss in a safe area, so your raid members can safely stand in Void Ritual, which spawns circles around the boss to soak.

Stampeding Roar is very useful to help speed your raid to the safe areas around the room during the dance phase of Torment.

Tanks have to stack and separate the bosses based on their phases.

The Aqir Drones do not have a threat table, just stack them and AoE.

With Balance Affinity, it is possible to continue to hit both bosses, even while they are in their separated phase.

This boss casts 2 tanks mechanics, Crush and Dissolve. Taking both of these debuffs will be painful, so have one tank take the crushes, the other tank take dissolves.

In Phase 1, taunt swap when the add spawns or at 1 stack of Nullifying Strike.
