Shiva didn't feel random for me at all, part of it was "Look at me I will show you what my next 8 attacks are" and there seems to be only 1 coin flip on sword/staff, then the other one, then it goes bow (I think).

Coil is the same - a coin flip.

The main difference is that you are given time react to see which one it is then know what ALL their next attacks are, so what ends up happening is that you memorise all the possibilities, which isn't much better. You can get lucky, and only have 1 of them happen all the time (E.g. charge only on T10, tank tether only on T11)

With what I put there, you still have to deal with everything, just in a different order.
