We run 10 man Onyxia, and recently (since acquiring badge gear) I have been having issues when she lands after P2. Our strat:
P1: run up on her right side and pewpew lots until she flies up, leading to
P2: I shoot Ony, unless I'm AoEing whelps or helping bring down the big adds (I also shoot at her in between these two tasks, trying to keep SerpSting up at least).
P3: Ony lands, has aggro on me and cleaves me in one fel swoop
I did not have this issue when I was less geared than I am now (I currently have 4xT9), even though I did grab aggro on her in P2 then as well. This is not hugely surprising as the tanks are busy elsewhere...but I'm not sure why I'm no longer surviving her landing. The last 3 times we've done this I've been one-shotted right at that moment. We haven't made any significant raid composition changes, nor have I changed my 'rotation'.
Is there a way around this? Perhaps I should be changing my shot priorities? Should I not be keeping Serpent Sting up (because of the 2xT9 set crit bonus)? Should I be MDing onto the tank right before she lands? Or is it just a matter of timing an FD?
I have DBM and Omen, but I haven't noticed a big fat warning saying she's about to land. This makes estimating when to MD/FD a bit tricky :)
