YouTube Spotlights with Horderlies!

More Cowbell lives on, just not in any regular scheduled releases it seems.

I have some goodies for anyone looking for some tips in raiding Dragon Soul (Normal 10 man).
These videos are on my YouTube channel, but here's the links specifically to them.

Morchok
Zan'ozz (added later, original recording didn't come out well)
Yor'sahj
Haraga the Stormbinder (added later, original recording didn't come out well)
Ultraxion
Warmaster Blackhorn
Spine of Deathwing
Madness of Deathwing

All of these videos are from a tanking viewpoint, however I've tried to include everything I can think of for the entire encounter for any role.  These are basic strategies and ones that we use in guild on a consistent basis.

I've left most of the Voice chatter so you can see how everyone communicates things to each other.  Some of the really long or repetitive fights are sped up though and do not have that audio, but it is only sped up after the explanations before it begins to repeat.

#06 - Turn it around!

It's habitual for me, generally, when fighting a boss, to turn it around.  If other melee DPS classes are soft hit/expertise capped (capped when only attacking from behind), by doing this, the DPS are already in position for their maximum potential.

Additionally, Many bosses may have abilities that can be detrimental to your group if they're facing it.  Turning them around is a sure fire way to make sure you don't subject your group to the bosses that have these abilities (like a cleave damage, Fiery breath, or other frontal only AoE attack).

Watch out though, some bosses also attack from the rear.. and with things that hit harder than flatulence!

#05 - Crotch Encounters!

And Here are the magic scripts you'll want to enter into your chat window! You could use an addon that does this for you as well, but if you like being minimalist, just run these once and you'll never have to worry about it again!
 
Script 1:

/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax",50)

Script 2:

/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMaxFactor","3.4")

Just copy and paste these into your chat window like you would normally type into, hit enter, and you're done.  Except now you'll notice how far you can zoom out now and see much more of your surroundings, where the safe spots are, where the adds are spawning from, or position your camera on the opposite side of a boss if you're tanking with your back to a wall.  This is one of the simplest solutions and tanking secrets as to how tanks seem to know everything that's going on around them.

Now, even if you're not tanking, YOU can be empowered to know all and see all!
