Divine Shield not dropping stacks in Firelands?

Strong tanks solotank Baleroc

I really can't imagine what kind of monster healers can 2 man-heal Decimation Blade on a tank with 1kk+ HP.

What you talking about? i got 3.5kk hp at the end of the fight (with Rallying cry atleast ^^)
Ok, only about 1.4kk, with only the proper buffs
But even so, the first decimationblade is the hardest one, since you will have a bit more hp, but healers will hardly have any stacks of the living flame or whatever, that makes them heal harder.
In the end, with 30buffs or so, the paladins were doing 900k divine lights, rejuv ticks for +100k, its pretty ok.
In the beginning, you have like 300k hp, and healers are doing like, 100k divine lights, not as safe ^^

P.S. watching the sub-2% wipes on Bale was tear inducing, but seems to have been made up by the ventgasms on the kill.

I remember when people were excited about boss kills. :[

o_O you must have a better way of stacking Vital Spark than our as our healers got nowhere close to those numbers in a normal kill :O

I guess you could bloodlust at the pull and PI the holy paladins when they start healing a player with torment.

Is it just me or does practically every single tier of content have one of these topics spring up where someone noticed Divine Shield not working on something?

They are not casting anyway, just spamming holyshock with 1HP WoGs.
The ammount of stacks the healers get is dependant on how many stacks the people they heal have.
Meaning its a lot more usefull having one person taking 20-25 debuffs with CDs and survive, rather than 2 people swapping at 10-15.

When I heal this on my Holy Pally, that is exactly what I do.

At first I found my normal rotation caused a mana issue standing with the other healers (ie out of SoI range). I tried melee range for SoI and that was total fail. So when I rejoined the other healers I temporarily replaced Flash of Light with Holy Light (this is classified and I will never admit to using Holy Light elsewhere) and switched from spamming Divine Light to Holy Light.

So now I spam Holy Shock on CD followed immediately by WoG, then fill with Holy Light till Holy Shock is off CD. When I am on tank duty, I spam Holy shock with my massive stack count until a special ability, then blast Divine Lights, and try to build a 3 HoPo finisher if needed. I never have a problem reaching well over 100 stacks, and I usually help tank heal on EVERY special ability which cuts down on the time I can build stacks. I am thinking maybe I could use Flash of Light for the special abilities, but sometimes its nice to have a really big heal.

Recount generally puts me at like 30k+ heals or so given all the shard healing pulling the number down.

My biggest risk is focusing too exclusively on tanks and not helping the shard folks as their stacks build.
