Doing that phase legit, you have to tank swap because of the healing debuff and the fact that she is doing more dmg and hitting faster with one of the link gone. Tanks can easily get gibbed from a DS + quick melee attack that happens, it's happened to us many times, there is no way to heal the tank quick enough sometimes and get him up quickly with the debuff. Since you don't ever have to swap tanks and manage healing cooldowns/tank cooldowns, makes healing and tanking a joke and pointless. You have no offtank since you are exploiting this since no healing debuff ever happens/ no death sentence ever happens. Tank only ever gets auto-attacked leaving the offtank to dps and spec out of vit like yours is. Still you have said nothing showing me you didn't exploit. Of course the phase is easy for healers, there is nothing to heal but fireballs which is a joke.

All this illustrates to me is that your MT and Healer are have trouble communicating when DS is incoming. Our MT who has only ~6k HP (600+ less health than BG's MT for reference) can and does MT the entirety of phase 2. Additionally, he can - with CD's - be solo kept up by a single healer if one goes into a conflag. And our healers have one (!) Allagan piece between the two of them. You over-estimate infirmity's effectiveness. I do that entire fight in Sword Oath minus the adds at the start and the snakes. You can do this without having your MT jump into a conflag. My group is four weeks behind first week raiders and we still have the DPS to deal with conflags.

What's my point here? Phase 2 isn't even hard enough for a serious progression guild for this to matter. It is more likely due to being worn out repeating this phase ad nauseam that they just went with the method that allowed them to shut-off. Even if the MT jumping into the fire is a bug, it doesn't matter, everybody has figured out how to get past this phase with a very high degree of accuracy at this point. Is the title incorrect? Maybe, but everybody was up to Twisters not conflags.

If you want my personal opinion, I do think the AI script is dodgy as hell, but again they did it to get through a section most serious progression guilds (themselves included) bested weeks ago. If someone turned around and said; "BG has never completed phase 2 without that tactic," then I'd be more willing to side with you. And even then, I'd reserve judgement until SE said something.

I personally think you're transplanting your own groups difficulties onto BG.
