Epic Puck

We finally broke through Auriaya on Heroic last evening.  I think learning her was the hardest yet.

A few things of note:  Having four OT was helpful here for the adds.  Misdirect on the pull to encourage the cats to stay put while the raid DPS burns them down.  You should have two dead before the first fear.  Remember to recover in front of the boss as much as you can so that the Screech damage is distributed. Ignore the Feral Defender at first and do not kill it on purpose.  Warlocks should put Seeds on Auriaya and let the Guardians also die by collateral damage from Death Knights and Paladin AoE.  This strategy will reduce the movement of the raid and allow you to concentrate on recovery after the Fear.  It will encourage positioning and interrupts on her when she begins to cast after the Fear.

Using this method, a lot of DPS is necessary.  The raid DPS needs to hover in the 3500+ range.  Understanding buff effectiveness and synergy is also important.  I strongly suggest if you cannot get to the 3500+ plateau as a mage, check with me in game or post here.
