We do this encounter almost the same way, but one of our disc priests hates smiting (blaspheme!) but her choice, she does great doing her thing, regardless.
Also, I find ‘pre-potting’ with a volcanic pot (PRE PULL!!) really useful for this fight, that 20 seconds of increased burst with heroism helps get things stable, fast.

With the changes to the mechanics of the fight, it’s probably no longer necessary to have atonement priests – but we learned the encounter before the changes went in and stuck with our original strategy. Our disc priests are extremely competitive healing with atonement on this encounter – often times near the top of our healing meters.

What I like about it is that two disc priests can pretty much single handedly manage the raid, and you never have to worry about raid damage, which frees up your other healers to focus on the tanks.

Do I think it’s necessary? Probably not – but it’s a very simple solution to managing raid damage, and it’s a lot of fun for your priests They aren’t breaking any records with their damage – but I wouldn’t call it insignificant either.

Thanks for posting this, very helpful. I have a couple of questions… I have read before that atonement is very good, but was also told that it’s no longer necessary – do you think it is still extremely useful though? Also is the dps they do significant?

Thanks
