You fight Rashok, the Elder in two phases. He gains energy normally, and before it reaches 100 you want to move him to the center to drain it off in the Conduit intermission. Move him away again when his energy is empty or if the raid damage becomes unmanageable.
Players that Rashok targets with Searing Slam want to run out to drop the lava pool on the edge. Do not overlap lava pools and watch out for lava waves coming outt of them. As many raiders as possible need to help stand in the Charged Smash soak, and the Doom Flames soaks need at least one player in each. Avoid the Shadowlava Blast frontal cone.
Tanks on Rashok, the Elder may want to swap between Flaming Slash and Earthen Crush to ensure that no tank takes the same mechanic twice in a short frame of time.
At 100 energy, Rashok, the Elder will wipe the raid so you must move him to the conduit to drain before then. At the conduit, he'll channel heavy raid damage and there will be lines of swirls to dodge.
Heroic Rashok, the Elder gets more frequent lava waves, only two charges of the Conduit before it breaks (draining energy in the middle consumes a charge) and a DoT after soaking Charged Smash.
