Balance

Trash

If you're pulling Raging Bloodhorn with the first boss make sure to focus him down and use Soothe to remove Raging Tantrum.
Use a defensive if you're targeted by Corrupted Risen Arbalest's Jagged Quarrel.
Prioritize killing Ancient Captain as he has Commanding Presence which reduces the aoe damage that nearby enemies take by 75%.
Use Nature's Cure to dispel Shadow Vulnerability from Portal Guardian.
When fighting the group of Shackled Souls use Solar Beam when they're grouped together.
Nefarious Darkspeaker's Curse of Desolation can be dispelled by Nature's Cure.
Use Ursol's Vortex on the Disgusting Refuses and the Blighted Sludge Spewers to stop them from jumping around with Leaping Trash.
Make sure to interrupt Blighted Sludge Spewer's Withering Discharge.
Face Rancid Gasbag's Vile Eruption away from the group.

An Affront Of Challengers

Make sure to use a defensive, a potion or Renewal if targeted by Necromantic Bolt when low on health.
Use Stampeding Roar to help the group avoid Decaying Breath
Save healing CDs for Mighty Smash
Heal any low health players targeted by Necromantic Bolt
Sathel The Accursed's Necromantic Bolt can be interrupted but it deals a significant amount of damage. Consider prioritizing Sathel if you're not confident in your interrupts.

Gorechop

Try to stay as much as possible in melee range.
Kill the Oozing Leftoverss close to existing puddles as they will drop Coagulating Ooze on death.
You can use Ursol's Vortex on the Oozing Leftoverss to stop them from using Leaping Trash.
Oozing Leftovers's will lose 2% of their health every 1s because of Oozing so killing them incredibly quickly is not required and you can passively cleave them.
Save AP and Wild Charge for dodging the Meat Hooks.
Focus heals on players hit by Meat Hook since they will receive Jagged Gash for 8s. Usually 1/2 Rejuvenations and Lifebloom or Cenarion Ward will be enough, but on higher keys you might need to spam Regrowth on them.

Xav the Unfallen

Use Stampeding Roar to help the group dodge if the Oppressive Banner isn't killed quickly.
Save AP for the Oppressive Banner
If you're casting during Deafening Crash your cast will be interrupted and you will get silenced.
Exit any shapeshift form if you're selected for Blood and Glory and you intend to die.
Winning Blood and Glory will give you Glorified for 20s granting you a 10% dps buff, so avoid using any CDs during the pvp phase.

Kul'tharok

Use a defensive if you're targeted by Well of Darkness.
Always stand in melee range except during Draw Soul
Use Typhoon and Ursol's Vortex on the grouped Lost Souls to stop them from reaching the boss.

Mordretha, the Endless Empress

Stay close to the boss for an easier time dodging the mechanics.
When Manifest Death spawns Deathwalkers try to positin yourself in the middle and use Incapacitating Roar to interrupt as many Death Bolts as possible.
Stay close to the edge of the arena to avoid Ghostly Charges.
When Mordretha The Endless Empress reaches 50% hp she will cast Echoes of Carnage dealing AOE damage to the party and applying a persistent dot for the remainder of the fight. Make sure to have enough healing avaliable.
Pool AP for movement during Dark Devastation.
When Grasping Rift spawns try to position yourself in such a way to be able to cast while being pulled in and minimize movement.
Deathwalkers usually do not live long enough to warrant casts of Moonfire or Sunfire.
