Stuck on this fight for four days now. DPS queues take up to 50 minutes, which is then followed by a group that keeps wiping, usually the healers die and then its just downhill from there.
The fight and mechanics may be well thought out and fun with a good group, but with your standard random group in duty finder that just does not get better and wipes 4-5 times before half the group quits just kills the entire fun and took out all excitement I had to finish the main storyline.
If you work all week and only have a few hours every evening to play, wiping endlessly on a main story fight is just demotivating. I feel like I can do the mechanics in my sleep already but everyone just keeps dying.

take charge and tell people what they're screwing up. if you just expect everyone to be able to do everything without explanation, you're gonna have a bad time.

I did, told the tanks to stack for akh mon, told the group not to forget waterfall. We had one run today where we got to 29% when both healers messed up, dropped dead and we wiped. After that each attempt was worse than the last and the group wiped on adds. -.-

The fight isn't hard if mechanics are followed correctly. Honestly if it's nerfed that'd only help the idea that the game's too dumbed down.

Open a PF and see if you can't get people to fill it up. I'd certainly be happy to help, but it appears that you and I are on different Data Centers.
