Fafnir's tornado phase can go [REDACTED] itself, but the rest of the raid was enjoyable enough. The final boss took me a bit to figure out but I think I'll be comfortable enough with it after one or two more runs.

Also I feel compelled to point out to all the "hard alliance raid = good alliance raid" people that in the long term, this is roulette content. Sure, gear will make it substantially easier, but the last thing this game needs is ANOTHER alliance raid that results in half the players dropping out upon realizing they got it for their roulette today, and that's what's going to happen if SE goes much farther in this direction.
