Yeah, the raids when they are current aren't faceroll easy, but guess what. Practice, practice, practice. Run them more than once, and you will start seeing the patterns. You will start seeing the visual cues when you aren't staring at your hotbars the entire time. You will start to see that the people who have ran it a dozen times are moving early, and avoiding 99.99999% of the avoidable damage(some will even move JUST as they need to, barely avoiding damage).

I'm not saying everyone needs to enjoy the content, but honestly, just paying attention to the game is enough to get you through the raids without much trouble. Here are the most used mechanics in ANY of the raids.

Parts of the floor glowing/doing something weird under you? Better move to a non-glowing/normal floor.
Arrows on the ground? Best make sure not to get thrown into a wall.
Parts of the wall behind you showing activity, while other parts aren't? Stand infront of the parts that are doing nothing.
Someone has a circle over their head, with 4 arrows pointing inwards(or in the case of Syrcus Tower final boss, a blue-ish black orb over head with a similarly coloured circle under them)? Stand inside the circle WITH THEM, unless there are two or more at the same time, then NEVER be in two at once if you want to live.
Got a Sims like diamond that's red over your head? Get away from people(your circle can overlap other circles, just be sure your character isn't in two at once)
Got a purple diamond over your head(World of Darkness 5-Headed Dragon boss)? Another stack marker, stand with the person with it to spread the damage.
A green gurgling puddle on the ground(WoD 5-Headed again)? Stand in it to prevent slimes from spawning.
Doing Exdeath? When he sucks energy from the void, if it's Blizzard keep running until it goes off to not be frozen. If it's Fire, stop EVERYTHING until the debuff drops to not take any damage. If it's Thunder get away from him or get paralysed.


And all of those are from normal raids(sure the 24-man raids don't have a harder version than week 1 of release, but you will see a LOT of those same mechanics in the 8-man raids, and even dungeons to some extent).
