TipRebuke the second caster when the first is called

Kings' Rest +17 timed with 2:47 to spare and one death; the kicks overlapped more than they missed.

A clean timed +17 at 30:13 against a 33:00 timer, and it raised Hyporock's rating from 3473.6 to 3483.9. All four bosses died on the first pull. The only death was Fury Warrior at 10:38, who stood in King Timalji's Bladestorm for three ticks and died within a second. It cost about 15 seconds. Holy Priest carried a heavy healing load, because this key needed more healing per second than 95% of the keys the scale was built from. The group stopped 97% of the casts it could reach. Most of the waste came from two players kicking the same cast.

Every burst window was fed

All 13 Wings presses across the four bosses had a trinket inside them, and the Light's Potential potion went into Wings on Council and Dazar. The 8.9 second gap on Council was the handoff from Aka'ali to Zanazal, so it was not idle time.

The one change

PRESSRebuke

WHEN
When Fury Warrior or Brewmaster Monk is already on a Half-Finished Mummy or a Hex Priest
WHY
7 of your 9 wasted Rebukes landed within 0.4 seconds of a teammate's kick on the same cast, and 5 of those collided with Fury Warrior.
PAYOFF
Rebuke stays ready for the next cast. Twice a wasted Rebuke let the following cast through before it came back.

What to change, biggest first

  1. Agree a kick order for the Mchimba mummies and the Hex Priest pull before the next Kings' Rest
  2. Fury Warrior steps out of King Timalji's Bladestorm
  3. Arcane Mage removes Hex Volley in the opening trash
  4. Nothing to change on Hyporock's cooldowns

What the group changes together

The route and pace were fine: 27:44 of fighting and 1:55 of walking, with no wiped pull. The thing nobody can fix alone is kick order. The group pressed 82 kicks for 58 stops, and 21 of the extra presses went on casts someone had already stopped. On the Mchimba mummies and the Hex Priest pull, Fury Warrior and Hyporock reacted to the same cast at the same moment five times. Give each melee a fixed target or a fixed turn in the order before those pulls.

Notes

Where the numbers need a second look

Burn Corruption is not over-exposure

The grader says Hyporock took Burn Corruption 3 times while his peers took it once. Mchimba cast it 5 times, and each cast hits one chosen player. It picked Hyporock for 3 of the 5, so he could not have avoided it.

Tank grade reads low

Brewmaster Monk's D comes mostly from the mitigation axis (39), which measures how much of the fight his active mitigation was up. He took no deaths and the healer stayed comfortable on every boss. Treat the letter as a prompt to check his brew usage on Warcraft Logs, not as a verdict.
