Lady Vashj Sucks Or How I Learned to Love the Strider

My WoW raiding guild is currently wiping on phase two of the Lady Vashj boss fight. Phase one is basically a tank-and-spank, but phase two is everything and the kitchen sink.

What I like most about this fight is we're raiding ground that few others have tred. And that means we're having to hammer out a strategy, not just cut-and-paste one from WoWWiki or some other site. Yes, it's been frustrating wiping continuously. And it's also not much fun being a weak link on strider duty. But I have really enjoyed having to think about the fight the day-after and ponder tactic tweaks to address problems. It's the heart and soul of raiding and heartening to think that Black Temple is ready and waiting for us one day.
