Because apparently, counting in increments of two is too damn hard...

DPS not being aware of the orb feeding pattern is frankly lazy and tunnel vision as all heck, it happens a lot and just because the tank swapping pattern isn't their mechanic to deal with doesn't mean they can zone out and not be aware of it. I hate the attitude to fights where people only learn what their particular job is and try to heap the responsibility of awareness on others.

It's really simple post-adds. Is someone cleansing the rolling thunder tether? Then the tanks aren't swapping, clear remaining orbs after the tether. Is there no rolling thunder? Then it's a swap clear the orbs after the tanks have swapped. Once you're in the pattern it's on auto-pilot, the only communication being necessary when there are phase changes and the tanks might have to swap early to get back into the pattern.

Hell people should be fighting each other to clear the orbs since surge protection makes you immune to rolling thunder, which is a pain to get if you are a healer or DPS. But no everyone just stands around and tries to redirect responsibility.

You really could have just made a macro like most tanks. It's really simple. Tanks have very little to do in that fight and you could've saved everyone a lot of trouble.

I play both tank and DPS and there is no excuse for not being aware of the feeding, it's not hard there is never anything happening for DPS at the moments you are feeding. Lazy and bad DPS try to heap responsibility for awareness on tanks, it's not hard.
