Found a super easy strat for P5. Once I was able to down Karam (took a min because I was playing horribly). Got Raest down on my first try once I got to P5 though.

BuaLock on YouTube for P5, check him out.
Here is a full guide with what I did for reference.
BuaLock sounded like more of a pvp guy, and he was in all SL pvp gear. I used all SL raid gear, no timewalking stuff, normal SL food pots etc.
I took ID, AC, demon skin, vile taint and howl. Also made a macro to target hands + cast interrupt, target Karam + CoA, target Raest + agony (just so I could swap back to him easily). Hit the “V” key so you can see enemy bats.
Put pet move to on your bars. Put banish on your bar.
After P1 put your pet on passive stay and park it mid. If it engaged Raest at all he will attack and kill it P5. You will be using it for soaks so it needs to be alive. You can banish the elite if you miss a soak.
Tip for hands, corruption does damage on application. At some point you may need to kite and already have the hand dotted up. Spamming corruption on it while you move will help burn it down.
Tip for Karam, apart from CoA, he can also be stunned and feared. Howl will work on him and the adds if they get in to close, good for “oh s” moments.
–P1 run Karam out back and phase him. I like to run him around the outer ring so there are less puddles mid. Then way out far till he’s at 45% ish. Then run back to Raest. This gives you a little more time p3 before Karam gets back to you.
–P2 use cds and do what you can to Raest. Dot up all adds with seed so ac will kill them.
–P3 Kite Karam around mid circle, keep CoA up and dot/interrupt/kill hands. Adds should be dead fairly fast from AC so it’s mostly just Karam and hands.
–P4 Do some damage on Raest, dot adds, do soaks. Save cds for P5.
–P5 Use cds, drums and pot. Focus on Karam and hands for damage, CoA Karam, do soaks. Seed and vile taint when you can to kill adds. Use pet to do soaks. Dot Raest if you have time, but your focus is mechanics and killing Karam.
You may get a few soak/hand over laps like 4th or 5th, that is probably the hardest part of the fight.
Once Karam dies, no more hands but now Raest will spam shadow bolts and it does a bunch more damage with them.
Here is where Bualock’s genius strait comes in …
You can out range Raest.
Raest won’t move, just run out of his range and he will sit there. Seed and viletaint adds, hit a few with agony to build ID stacks and kite. Keep a lookout for soaks, use your pet to soak and banish the elite if you miss one.
Then just pop in to dot Raest, agony, ua, haunt, maybe a drain life if it’s stacked and pop back out. Wraith when your out of his range. And just take your time, it’s all add control at that point with the occasional soak.
I played very conservatively for P5 and focused more on dodging the adds and pet soaks, so it took what felt like 30+mins overall to do. I know because I used drums like 3 times I think. Raest was over 70% going into P5 also. It’s just a slow burn.
