Stone vigil (HARD) and dancing plague (Extreme) should have warnings

EDITED

after playing endgame raids I realize how silly this was, thanks the help though pings help ALOT

Extreme content has a warning. It's labelled "Extreme".

Otherwise, it sounds like your complaints are about players, not the content. No amount of warning can make people pay attention if they don't want to.

Why is the boss surviving long enough for your allies to die? If everyone's on cannons, the boss should be dead before everyone dies, even if you don't actively protect the NPCs. If the NPCs are dying before the boss you're not losing because your team isn't protecting the NPCs; you're losing because the team isn't killing the boss. One of the NPCs says

Even if he didn't say that or your party members didn't read the chat, there are four cannons in the room. If they don't notice or understand the cannons, they're not going to notice a big notification in the middle of the screen telling them to use the cannons.

If your party members aren't reading chat, draw their attention to the chat with sound effects. They're annoying when used gratuitously but this would be an appropriate situation for them.

/p Use the cannons <se.9>
/p Use the cannons <se.9>
/p Use the cannons <se.9>
/p Use the cannons <se.9>
/p Use the cannons <se.9>

Same thing with Dancing plague and the tethers when you get tethered to a tank that just doesnt move but at least there you get rez'd and its all good

We don't need notifications for every mechanic. In particular, you've named an Extreme trial. Extreme trials are not hand-holding content. People should have a solid understanding of fundamental mechanics types, including the common possible meanings for tethers generally (gather, spread, or point away from party), and if it's not a Blind Run party, a basic understanding of the mechanics unique to that fight specifically.

If you're a healer, Rescue the partymember to a cannon. >w>

Well the warning for Dancing Plague Extreme is the "Extreme". Those aren't something you casually beat blind.

And as for Stone Vigil hard, you got 4 cannons in the room where you normally never have cannons in a fight, and your normal attacks do little to no damage. At that point, anyone who is paying attention would think "Hmm, maybe I use these cannons", but unfortunately sometimes you can't fix players who don't want to pay attention. That's not the content's fault, that's the players.
