Maybe if you explained what problems you were having we could help you more...

Basically, you need to discern before the mob gets to the rest of your raid group what two abilities it has. To do this, use a hunter and his pet to pull. Now, the hunter should be able to FD any pull and reset the mobs abilities. A good example of when you want to do this is a shadowbolt/plague combo or a meteor/plague combo.

Now, your hunter is yelling ahead what the abilties are and your raid group acts accordingly. Any easy one for example is shadowbolt/meteor. The raid has a good 5 secs to clump all tight together around the tank. The rest is common sense.

Now, you can go on forever resetting the mob to get shadowbolt/meteor. For myself, personally, I said fuck that. Whatever we get we deal with. Yes, we wipe now and then to the hard ones but other times we push through it. Then I take a nice hard look at who is alive and who is not... now who mentioned AQ was a good zone to see who is riding coattails?

Plague and shadowbolt are the only hard ones to deal with.

Have everyone start clumped up very tight. MV the hunter pet if you need more 'eyes' to see the ability(s). Shadowbolt hits you if you are far enough away but if you stay in close enough it doesnt. Plague spreads to those close by, so as soon as you hear the 'plague' call spread out. If someone gets 'plagued' run them away from the raid to behind the mob. This way they can still be apart of the raid healing and/or DPSing but dont go too far if it shadowbolt. Some of the mobs suicide by blowing up, so make sure you run before this happens or kill them fast enough to avoid it.
