I did Herioc Oculus at level 82 with some friends and one
appropriately leveled PuG. We were too ignorant and never did
manage to beat the final boss.

The drake roles are just tricky enough that it's hard to figure
out what's best to do without outside help.

I've read some guides since then, and I'm pretty sure we could've
easily beaten it if we'd all known that information. Even using
the Drakes wrong and not avoiding his special attack properly we
nearly downed him in two of our attempts. The rest of the
instance was roflstomped.
