re: Ragnaros Tactics

I found a nice breakdown of the RAGNAROS fight done by ICY VEINS the fight is broken down for Tanks, Healers & DPS: http://www.icy-veins.com/ragnaros-detailed-strategy

TIPS & TRICKS:


Go with two healers, that will help immensely. I'm two healing this as a Holy Priest with a Resto Druid but have also done it with a Resto Shaman.

The extra DPS helps A LOT with transition phases and controlling Sons of Flame. It allows you to push phases faster and have less Meteors in P3.
An Arcane mage and an MM hunter can solo any side, the adds in 10 man are a complete joke with the right classes/specs

In general, for transition phases, have your tanks do adds as well, even in the second transition when they're picking up the extra adds. They should stun, dps and slow if possible. Having tanks help out is a great help as well.

Tanking Trinkets:

[Mirror of Broken Images] if magic damage is hard on you or your healers.
[Scales of Life] if you need more health or if you need an on-use panic cooldown.
[Spidersilk Spindle] for passive mitigation and a strong passive panic cooldown.
For druids: [Matrix Restabilizer] for strong passive mitigation and dps potential. [Ancient Petrified Seed] for burst avoidance and dps.


General tips:
- Knockback effects can knockback Sons of Flame.
- Deathgrip can also be used to grip a Son away from the hammer.
- Save one Son of Flame from the second transition and burn the Scions while the Son is slowly moving towards the hammer. This will allow you to focus exclusively on Ragnaros in P3. Heroism/Bloodlust will help you most when used at this point for burning Scions and it will last into P3.

As for your healers:

There isn't anything in specific they should do aside from keeping everyone up and managing mana and cooldowns efficiently. A paladin healer can of course help with stuns but that's about it.

Holy Paladin Tips and Tricks

•Glyph Holy Wrath, even healadins can help with adds on transitions and p2!
•You can use Divine Plea lots on this fight, time it well.
•You should take advantage of your Avenging Wrath, you can use it 5 times during this fight.
•Use Aura Mastery resist during a flame wave, trap aoe, adds and seeds on p2, add hitting the hammer
•You can use bubble twice during the encounter, if you get hit by waves dont hesitate to use it to save you.
•Consider taking the first trap with a bubble to let the dps you know, dps more.
•Divine Protection (glyphed) is helpful on this fight, I use it on traps to reduce damage, and every time its up on p2 for each movement when seed spawn. It helps reduce damage and get me into place quicker, avoiding seed damage.
•Save up 3 HoPo WoG charge for tanks during movement on P2, you’ll need it. Using that with HS will keep them up until you are safely in position.
•Remember that kingsy dude we have as a cooldown? You can use him twice, don’t forget to

Oh, one more thing, but this requires a bit of training:

There is an "easy mode" for Meteors in P3. Basically you simply kite them so they will move through the lava pool Ragnaros is standing in. Once they're in there you just keep kicking them back in. If executed properly, this will basically negate Meteors as with only 5 seconds in which they can't be kicked, you can keep them inside the pool if you're raid members are properly positioned and Meteors are kicked back in on cooldown.

I hope some of these Tips aquired from the web will help

    We have to get him down so that we can open the heroics up.
