New Tank.............

After reading your comment I went in and did the Howling Eye, we did fine, BUT I did NOT see any bar over Garuda's health bar, needless to say I never moved out of the way. Maybe I'll just quit tanking.

Garuda normal mode doesn't have any cast bars. The attacks don't hit very hard and it's a pretty big pushover anyways, so you shouldn't worry about it. Extreme mode has the cast bars and other mechanics, which I presume Aana was confused with. Later on you'll see tankbuster mechanics more often, but those will almost always have a cast bar. Just keep on trucking and it'll all become second nature before you know it

Edit: It seems I was mistaken. Garuda in normal mode does cast Slipstream, but there is no castbar indicating it, however you can see her cast it on her model (she holds her wings up in the air, alongside the casting effects). If you're unsure about a new trial/dungeon/raid, I'd recommend asking if anyone can explain the mechanics at the beginning of the duty, or look up a video guide. Depending what instance they aren't long and tell you the most important things you need to know.

Don't quit tanking. Each boss has their quirks but as everyone else said they are tightly scripted. You will be fine if you stick with it.
