Twintania conflag intervals?

There's an easier way to deal with conflags - for conflags 1 and 3 player targeted with fireball runs into conflag, for conflags 2 and 4 dps jobs pop cooldowns as soon as conflag marker appears.

I think we're discussing 2 different things. This post really isn't to address how to deal with conflags, it's more to address getting people used to the timing of when the blue dot appears.

Sorry, I probably didn't phrase it well - my point is that timing doesn't make your life much easier (if at all), all your dps jobs really need is to keep track of whether current conflag is odd or even:

1. if you have a blue marker (conflag) over your head you run to the designated spot (usually under twintania) for all conflags
2. if you don't have a blue marker over your head and it's an odd conflag (#1 or #3), you simply tab target to conflag as soon as it appears and dps it
3. if you don't have a blue marker over your head and it's an even conflag (#2 or #4), you pop 2-3 cooldowns as soon as blue marker appears, then tab target to conflag and dps it

I think the class that this is hardest for in our runs are our healers, and understandably so. Without a doubt they have the most to react to in this phase. I'm just trying to help them out as much as possible, and if I can give them even a small window of a heads up that they should start paying attention to an upcoming conflag, it might be a minor thing, but right now where we are, every little bit counts.

That's very considerate of you. However, it won't do much good at all and if every little bit counts, your healers really need to step up their game and study the fight to its core. The conflag mechanic is predictable and your healer shouldn't worry too much about it. What I'm curious about is what part of the conflag mechanic are your two healers having problem with?

Sorry, it wasn't to say that they are having problems healing, I personally love our healers and think they are pretty kick ass. My point was they have the most to react to with watching health bars, virus, as well as the debuff on themselves. Right now we're still learning the fight, so I can't point to one consistent thing that's happening, and we're definitely making progress. I'm just trying to do my due diligence and research the f**k out of this fight to help our group get through this, and I definitely appreciate all the feedback on this thread As a whole I think we're still getting used to noticing when people have the debuff, and while I know that will come with a few more attempts, I was trying to understand the predictability of the conflags to help us anticipate those better.
