I have a "Learning Party" question:

When I did T9 (as a WHM) I was told it's better to push the phases so you don't get too many meteors on the field and that's why people prefered to replace a tank with a DPS.

Having done the fight with both 1 and 2 tanks, it takes a bit of practice to switch over.

For example, I was used to only dealing with one person to stoneskin for ravensbeak so that person has two dedicated healers. (but when you have two, you have to split duties)

On the flip side, with two tanks, if one dies, the other can pick up the pieces and continue.

I'm finding that depending on the group, a two tank method may be better for the post-Heavensfall phases. My group (wanting to get a clear for someone to be in our raid) kept pushing the phases badly at that part.

We kept wiping again and again because a heavenfalls would come just as Bahamut's Claw occurred and our tank would get smeared into the ground. Phases are weirder now because of the ilevel increase AND the echo buff. :/

If DPS push it too much later on, switch it and have another tank come in just to hold back the fight a little.

However, in your case, seems like your dps are just running around like chickens. Lol
