    No matter how high your DPS is, you aren't going to down the big snake before Twintania drops with i90 gear, unless you have the debuff stacked.
    You might be killing the second Hygieia too soon. Here's what we do:

    Kill one Hygieia, take the second one to low HP, DPS Asclepius until next set of divebombs begin, kill second Hygieia after 1st divebomb, finish divebombs, LB2, finish off the Hygieias, finish off Asclepius. We often have a good 10+ seconds before Twintania lands doing this method.

    Again though, raiding is about finding what works for your group. Experiment a little and see what you can do to improve.

    We can kill it with a level 2 LB, but the point is that the encounter shouldn't become harder and previously working strategies shouldn't become unusable because our DPS is too high.
    It just doesn't make any sense.
