That would be very greedy IMO.

also spec wise I tried affliction (for the first time after all the nerfs) and had alot of troubles keeping steady numbers (because i spent most the fight trying to get close enough to the center, and i was only nuking the mobs close enough to dying)
I tried my normal deep destro, and found it alot easier to handle the mobs, but still found myself running in circle looking for an opening.
I've considered specing into shadowfury for the fight, and making more of a survival/burst destro setup, seeing how there is ALOT of raid damage going on.

any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks ladies and gents! <3

As Rutiene mentioned, toss a tank on them, have dps stop casting for a second at around 80+ stacks so that it can reset. The stack buff only lasts 1 second. the problem is when people feel they are doing good by finishing a cast which makes a 1 second stop on DPS turn into a 5-10 second half assed dps on it. make somebody an assist and when teh stacks need to drop have them call for the ranged to nuke down a corrupter.

The part of your quote I bolded is kinda misleading. While your melee team may SEEM like they are doing great, they are directly connected to how things go up top. The sooner they engage the brain each portal phase, the less adds spawn up top which drastically effects the amount of raid dps you need to kill the adds fast enough to keep up. Make sure your melee are at their portals before it spawns, and make sure somebody down below (generally hunter) is waiting at the invisible wall to engage yogg as soon as posible. hitting that brain 2 seconds sooner can be the difference between getting 1 or 2 mobs spawn that have 1 million hp to be burned.
