I usually don't have any problem with Sarth tho. I don't even bother to look for the wall, we have 3 people designated to holler over vent which side it's coming from, when they yell left or right, I do what is required. The way we do it, the ranged all stand on that little glowing rivulet of lava. (which is the safe spot if the firewall is coming from the south (left)), We run forward to the boss's hind leg if the firewall is coming from the north (right). The only times the wall gets me is if I happen to lag during a wall phase. Tuesday i survived the dance for the first time. I usually don’t have any problem with Sarth tho.

The main reason some of my guildies died alot on the past was they were relying on other people moving as their queue to move... when you're an aussie playing with 200-600ms that basically means that by the time you see them move you're already afew seconds behind... For sartharion (if you cant see the waves) have your raidleader mark one of the "reliable" people and just stick to them like glue or alternatively have them call "back, middle or front" for where the gap is. Unlike heigan you seem to be able to use guildies movement as a queue on that boss :D Theres a really simple way to live on heigan pike, here goes:

1) dont pay attention to what anyone else is doing.

as you enter the room take a look at the ceiling, theres a pot held up by some chains attatched to the walls, these sections are exactly the width of the goo sections on the ground.

the section of the room closest to the door you entered by is ALWAYS a safe point at the start of the dance phase so run and stand there (your guildies will probably be stacked)

wait for the green goo to shoot up out of the ground, now heres the thing… the goo only damages you if you’re standing where it comes up at the EXACT moment it happens (the spell effect doesnt actually hurt you at all since its not an aoe or dot).

what you want to do is stand in your safe zone and the INSTANT the goo shoots up you run straight into it (ignore other people), you’re now in the next safe zone, wait for the goo to shoot up again then repeat the previous step until its time to come back across the room.

My wife runs 8.10 and has no problems with that sort of thing. Of course, she hasn't been living on the dances until recently. By the way, if you know you're gonna die anyway, and you can get your raid leader to okay it, dying at the very beginning of Sarth is supposedly a very easy way to get the "Gotta go when the Volcano Blows!" achievement.

(Mainly due to me being a healer, so I can toss a heal or two on myself when those lava/fire thingies hit me. And I do see them so I can't even blame that for my constant dying.) *clears throat*

Its beauty lies in the execution. It's a bit like learning to ride a bike. Once you learn, you never forget. I agree with LS, it’s a very hard fight to explain. Its beauty lies in the execution.
