Alter Time is not the same as it was in MoP. It will not carry over your procs and buffs anymore.

It is basically just Temporal Shield but for PvE now. When you use Alter Time it will record your health and position, and when you alter back or the buff expires it will put you back in that same position and same HP.

For example if you Alter Time at 100% hp, take a hit for 80% of your hp, you can Alter back and be at 100% hp.

Use it for movement or health if you must. If you get something you have to get out of the raid group for blink out with it wait for it to go off alter time back in position.

Alter time is for running seeds. That is all.

I’ve found a couple life saving uses for it in mplus.

  • sanguine depths boss 1. Use it just before people start popping orbs.

  • sanguine depths boss 3. Gather 3 golden orbs and shield yourself. Take a small initial burst of damage, then pop it. After the aoe damage goes out pop it again.

  • halls boss 4. Pop it before ritual of woe.

  • theater Lich boss. Pop it before being targeted for the spirit break ability.

  • spires boss 3. Pop it before being targeted for his beam move.

  • plaguefall boss 1. Use just before being knocked back.

  • plaguefall boss 4. Use Before acid rain.

You’re better off popping it before the Severing Smash goes out, then using Shimmer x 2 to outrange the smash so that you generate no Orb at all, then using Alter Time again to get back onto DPSing the boss
