I still hold to VT on everything being better ;-p usually puts me as 1 for damage done to them- although again, if you need to burst the closest ones, MS/MB would be best

Around 73% and 43% or so, I stop MBing and just MF to be sure I get 3 orbs. I also save AA after the initial use at the pull. MB+3orbs+AA means that 1st add will be slowed instantly, and I can move on to other adds. I rarely use VT. There's usually time to D.P. an add or two before my add does though.

On the 2nd phase, since the Scions spawn first, I usually SW:P the one on my side. Gives me some extra orbs for more MS/MB damage.

For sons of flame, its all depends on how close to the hammer your add(s) are.

If you're assigned right next to the hammer, MS/MB. Your Dots take far too long to get up and do damage to get it slowed in time. (by the time you have the dots up, that add will already have hit the hammer)

If you're on either of the far sides, you can actually hit 3-4 adds as they spawn with VT. You'll notice they spawn in sequence, and they stand still for about a second before they actually start moving. The far left or right add you can probably dot up fully, and focus on another add completely. With one add dotted up, your MS/MB is really effective on other adds with the 4pc bonus, the MB crit alone will probably take most adds down 30-40% health.

This is especially useful for the 2nd transition when tanks will be busy with Scions.

Probably should have mentioned I'm currently in a 10 man guild that just reformed on Arthas-US until we can actually get the numbers for 25 man. So we are pretty much each assigned to a specific son that needs to get down immediately.

It's interesting to read what everyone does, I guess it also depends on how good all your dps are, even though we are assigned to specific adds, we never have any trouble getting them down fast. TBH, I did VT a few initially but they went down so fast that there was no point so now i just MS/MB my two down. Even when the scions come along, no problems. Guess we got lucky :P

On heroic rag i generally MS/MB the sons. MS hits like a wet noodle compared to what other casters can do but still gets them to the amount of HP needed to slow them, which allows me to tab and get a 2nd one normally (remember the object isnt to kill them right away, but slow them). Alot of the times I find myself searing 4-5.
