The average raider is not like the World First team, who know the language of the mechanics and have experienced enough of the game to identity the patterns immediately. The average raider is much more likely to wipe to something for 45 minutes straight every once in a while, too. (Much to the chagrin of PF.)

Savage fights really are like learning a dance routine, and that means you have to keep on practicing the parts that are hard and confusing to get through them. Sometimes, once you finally get a mechanic to click, it becomes easy and you nail it every time after that. Other mechanics have multiple patterns you have to memorize, and it'll take a lot of practice to get through all the various options and get good at every single one.

Just keep on practicing. And if it stops being fun, then don't force yourself to do it.
This has made me wonder, are the current savage raids designed to foreshadow the others? Makes me wonder if as a new player, the learning curve and pattern recognizing is possible by going from the start
