**Why it failed:** Bad pull: pulled with the healer 130 yd away (Blood DK); Avoidable damage: all 5 stacked inside Inferno (group)
**Tip:** When yours is the only kick up, Cinderbolt is yours
## Abandoned at 9:08 of a 28:00 par after the fire pack past Melidrussa killed three in five seconds: a pull entered without the healer, then all five inside Inferno when it landed.
This key did not run out of time; it ran out of people. You were 9:08 into a 28:00 par with one boss down and nineteen minutes left when the group came apart, eight seconds after the third death, with you and the tank at full health and the Destroyer at 57% (read off the raw log).
The wipe was a chain, and most of it was outside your control. Blood DK engaged the Blazebound Destroyer pack at 8:06 while Resto Druid was 130 yards away refilling mana after leaving the boss at 7%; her first heal on the pull landed at 8:31. That solo start stretched the pull to 45 seconds, long enough for a second Inferno, a Living Bomb on the healer and a Cinderbolt to land inside the same ten seconds. Inferno is the mechanic nobody moved for: the first hit nobody because nobody had reached the pack, the second hit all five because everyone was stacked on the mob. Resto Druid died under the bomb plus Inferno, BM Hunter died to Inferno alone with nothing left to press, and Arms Warrior died to a Cinderbolt that only your Rebuke could have stopped. That one is yours.
Your sheet is the best of the five: top damage of the three dealers, no deaths, a battle resurrection four seconds after the healer died on the boss, and a Divine Protection that absorbed the last two Inferno ticks. The thing to fix is kick discipline: ten of your sixteen Rebukes landed on a cast someone else had already stopped.
**What to change**
1. Call a kick order before the boss (tank, you, Arms Warrior, BM Hunter) or hold Rebuke until the cast bar has run half a second: ten of your sixteen Rebukes hit a cast that was already stopped, and five of the six Frigid Shards that got through came while every DPS kick was on cooldown from that.
2. When a Blazebound Destroyer starts Inferno (3.5-second bar), be twenty yards from it before the bar fills. It cannot be kicked or stunned, the debuff is stamped on everyone in range at cast end, and it ticks for five seconds wherever you go afterwards.
3. When yours is the only kick up, the cast is yours: at 8:48 Rebuke had been ready for a second, you were five yards from the Cinderweaver, and the Cinderbolt that finished at 8:51 one-shot Arms Warrior.
4. Blood DK: do not engage a Cinderweaver pack with the healer 130 yards out; five Cinderbolts in twenty seconds took you to 21%. Resto Druid: when the tank's bar shows 34%, stop topping off and move; the last seventeen seconds of Innervate cost the pull more than the mana was worth.
5. Nothing to change on defensives or utility: Intercession in four seconds, Sacrifice on arrival, Divine Protection absorbing two full ticks. Keep that timing.
