Everytime i go to that instance there are 2-3 pulls that i get wiped and don't know why. I should be geared for heros, check my profile and Grim batol says im not prepared.

Im talking about the 6 pull pack where 2 are elementals. My health bar drops so fast healers can't keep me alive. Even if i use Ancient King and help healer with word of glory.
Are tanks having trouble with this as well?

Use are supposed to either kill those packs with the drakes or at least severly weaken them.
Than follow strict kill order, make sure you interrupt special abilities of some mobs, move away from specials of others and stun them as much as you can (holy wrath).
If not cc is only option.
Or just your healer sucked.

.
That's not possible for the 2nd trash pack in the instance. (Not counting the troggs here)
It is possible with every single pack beside the giant + 3 nukers pack that are inside and 1 pull just before the last boss.
It's not a problem with your gear, you should use CC as indicated. Running in there with my ilvl 354 pally and blowing my defensive cooldowns still puts a lot of pressure on the healer.
Normal? (as you may noticed thread indicates) I absolutely doubt it.

If i'm correct i may know why this is happening, i've seen it happen a few times, not wipes but close calls, due to the NPC
Azureborne Seer
casting
Twisted Arcane
and after that
Warped Twilight
. That's a 8 second cast that REALLY needs to be interrupted, and if it doesn't its gonna eat you for 60% of your total health. Should this happen in GB heroic it will deal 100% of the target's health, we all know what happens then, good idea to nuke those mobs first.
But if it's the trash after you ride the dragons you really should have people practice more, since those mobs should be dead or very close to it, last run in there no mobs survived more than a few seconds after we bombed them, made everything go very fast and smooth. The only tank i ever had problems with in GB was a DK, running WAAAY out of range, and yelling at me for not healing him. Even had a druid a while back, and it's never been very hard. (trashwise)

Glyph of Holy Wrath, as above, will stun everything except the rare ogres and trivial elves.
Here's some advice per pull:
Always kill in this order from the top down, from my experience:
Azureborn Seer (warped twilight is nasty)
Crimsonborn Warlord (disarming flames + empowering twilight, pain in the ass)
Melee Ogres (their whirlwind is stunnable, but not interruptible, and they put out a lot of hurt)
Fire Ascendants (they channel a stun on someone. That someone is often your healer)
They are the nastiest mobs in there. Most of the others are pretty faceroll. Just save your HoJ for the ogre's whirlwind and use HoW defensively to stun all the mobs when &*!@ goes bad. Arcane Torrent and War Stomp are great at stopping those damn dragons from casting. Try to use DP on the pull every time since that is when damage will be highest and spikiest.
And all in all - get better at the dragon part! You can bring almost every pull below 30% if the group is good. Trivializes the instance completely.
