Twintania phase 2 - Fireball oddities, question inside

I've got a question about Twintania's Fireball/conflags.

The strategy we are trying to follow is to try to reset the 1st, 3rd and 5th conflags by making the player targeted by Fireball walk inside them.

We save DPS cds for conflag 2 and 4.

Now, if this worked all the time, phase 2 would be extremely easy, but the problem for us is that sometimes the first conflag will not be able to be reset, and sometimes it will, messing up with our timing for the phase. Some runs, she'll cast the first fireball too early, sometimes she won't. We tried a lot of different stuff, but it seems to be completely random and is making phase 2 seem completely luck based.

Are we missing something here, or it really is completely random?

we experienced the same damn thing , sometimes , fireball aoe come just one sec after or before conflag (so players aren't able to go on it ), sometimes not , totally rng .
i dunno how it works.

Everything is basically tied to the timing of Death Sentence, Twintania works her attacks around that. Death Sentence forces her other attacks to change their timings.
When you break the first collar at 85%, the timing of her Death Sentence may affect the timing of her initial Fireball. If you break the collar and she is say, ~5 seconds away from the next DS, then that's going to set the Fireball timer back and throw everything out of order. The best thing to do is to time the collar break to be around the same time Death Sentence goes off, the bonus to this is that you'll also time it so that Death Sentence will almost always occur while your tank is inside a Conflagration.

Gotcha, makes sense, I guess Death sentence has priority over any other of her skills and she will always cast DS first if it's time to.

We'll try timing it this way today.

Yup, DS has priority over everything else.

eg. On our first kill, after the Divebomb phase's Aetheric Profusion, she did Death Sentence before Twister. Almost caught us off guard. Clutch Lustrate and Benediction from me and our WHM. (Y)
