Hmmm - Unusual...I find that fight one of the more easy ones of the 
raids.  The only wipes were from getting to the "staging" point after 
the trash.  Many, including myself, like to jump down the waterfall and 
swim, where you automatically pop out at the staging point.  Wipes there 
have been because some ding-dong decides to come down the other way and 
drag trash when only 1/4 of the raid has assembled.

As far as the fight, it's actually quite boring as dps.  One tank takes 
the blue, one on the green...Stand in one spot (usually marked) 
pew-pew...when it dies, slide over to the other, pew-pew....back and 
forth.  Healing it is also usually not to bad *if* dps stand grouped up 
like they are supposed to for aoe heals during the big hit parts *AND* 
if the person marked for cinders runs out when they get it *AND* if some 
moron doesn't have an itchy trigger finger on the despell and end up 
dispelling the cinders right in group.  Those are the only challenges on 
that fight.  Everyone stay in group, get cinders run out, and only 
dispell after the person is clear.   Those have been the only times I 
have lost people as a healer...cinders or some idiot messing things up 
with the cinders...

Bad luck I guess for you....My bad luck on that instance always came 
with the turtle.  Took forever to get though that when if first came 
out, and even now - the only reason I've had groups NOT wipe was because 
many people are overgeared now.  Many succesful attempts now would have 
been wipes a few months ago.

Of all the 4 ToT bosses there is still one that I hold me breath for 
that seems like a 50-50 shot on whether there is a wipe, and that is the 
eyeball (first boss on ToT, part 3).  There are always a bunch of people 
that just can't get though that maze.   This is one case where chances 
of a fights success , IMO, seems to be increased based on a players PC. 
  If you have a bit of lag or low graphics, the path on the maze could 
be very difficult to navigate and there is very little room for error.....
