    well, we may not know for sure (100% certainty to the max level!!11) that it is definitely a bug, but after reading your posts, I am leaning around 85% that it is NOT an intended mechanic,and there are lots of possibilities why they did this btw (not just because they are lacking dps or tank deaths, and I doubt that tbh, because lots of groups have been breezing through that phase entirely without conflag tactic), they may think that it's an intended mechanic, or maybe because after so many pulls that they just get tired and would just like cut to the chase and on to the real hard mechanics.

    they will be posting a phase per phase explanation on the fight, we might get more insight.

    Many groups that were working on Twister were sleeping conflags/using the res strat(have one person die to conflags and just keep rezzing everyone combined with not getting weakness bug with medica) to get past this phase since the dps check is very tight on conflags. So, previous progression in that phase is pretty much obselete. However being they are one tanking this fight in that phase since the adds in the beginning hit like wet noodles(if you notice the off-tanks health, he is probably speccing out of vit and using more dps armor more than likely combined with the healers being able to dps), this phase it really just Twintania auto-attacking every once in a while. They haven't posted a strat, because their strat isn't legit and they can only speculate on how Twister really works still. There are no visual indicators/debuffs/buffs that begin to explain anything about Twister, it's a terrible mechanic.
