Turn 7 is way worse than T6, IMO.

People still can't manage to line up for those divebombs and manage the snakes, at least in my experience.

When I see the sun on me, I move in close to Raf and stop what I'm doing and stay still. The party needs to organize around me and they can't do that if I'm moving. The split second that the sun disappears, I run straight through Raf to the other side with the party. Sometimes if I'm fast enough I don't even get hit by stun. This way no one gets eaten.

Other roadblocks to T6 are:
1. People not focus targeting Raf so when they switch over to kill the hornets they die from bouquet because they are moving.
2. People not DPSing the bulb asap when it pops in the middle.
3. People not stacking properly for acid rain.
4. Teams not marking the slug that gets fed all the slimes at 50% and subsequently lb'ed (or OT not gathering everything properly if on burn method)

Lately, all my fails in pugs have been to #4 above using burn method. Healers just can't seem to keep up. I don't know what it is about that strategy during that phase that gives the healers and tanks so much trouble.

I guess that's one way of doing it, especially in a static... However, some pug groups I've been in need a giant shiny red button to get them to do anything directed.
