I have lost count how many times I’ve tried to time a 10 of this dungeon. It can go smooth then after third boss, it’s down hill. The amount of curses are insane but I do my best to heal through it (without a curse dispel). But my biggest concern is the trash on the way to last boss. The faceless corruptors do ‘corrupt’ on a target, and of course it’s always me. I’ll usually get targeted at least three times. The first time I can guardian myself, but any other time I’m screwed. I’ve tried fade, spam healing, but I always die.
How do you holy priests stay alive during that?

I play Disc but I can recommend to guardian one, desperate prayer the other, and have both algari healing potions and cavedweller’s delight ready on a hotkey in case you get low. If you get targeted back to back enough to where you rotate through all of those that is incredibly unlucky.
Hey! Hpriest here
Fade + Desperate prayer and spam FH/Heal on yourself. That should be fine for the first corrupt
For the second you can use GS on you + Fade.
3rd one go for Apotheosis.
At this point add should be dead.
It’s about rotating defensives and maybe a healing cooldown.
You also have Halo if you’re archon and Divine word which both CDs are 1min cd so you pretty much can rotate them between these adds. (I play archon but if you are Oracle you can Rotate Piety, Clairvoyance and Solace for these)
At the end of the day you can also put into the equation a Healing pot which are really strong.
Hardest parts of this dungeon for a Holy priest are Curse adds and 2nd boss (at least for 12+ keys)
As disc I either fade, penance myself, rapture myself, or ps myself.
I do save my large externals for the double pull, id recommend doing similar with apotheosis.
Stack up on cooldowns.
Guardian spirit one, Divine Word + Serenity the second, Apotheosis the third, etc.
Unpopular opinion as usual, but mastery really makes those ticks far less brutal. Oracle as well helps a lot, converting any echo overheal into smart healing with piety.
Did it today on a 9 as oracle disc. Just flash heal penance then pws mostly. or piety and heal and rely on the overheal to keep them up
Got a 10 done on my hpriest this past week and that pack with the double corrupters is awful. I try to have everything up for it. Usually I start with halo so I have all of the sol procs and serenities up for the first round. Then second is apotheosis to carry. If there is time then symbol in there somewhere to help with defensives. For me, fade, shield, desperate prayer. Desperate prayer on first one for me and then symbol of time. (Swirlies galore).
GS if I know someone is going to die without. I don’t pug 10s so we communicate through it. 
Good advice here. Few other things you can try:
- Make sure to save your larger defensive (desperate prayer) for when you have the debuff on you that increases shadow damage taken (gained by killing the little mobs). As long as you have a serenity charge ready to go, you should be able to heal yourself through the unbuffed corruptor damage. That will help make sure you still have your defensive when it really helps.
- Take Symbol of hope to get Desperate Prayer back quicker.
- You should have fade DR up every corrupt - make sure you have that and flash heal and spell warding for the base 23% damage reduction
- At higher level keys getting at least 15% verse helps survivability
- Night elves can shadowmeld the channel if you’ve been wanting to race change and need the excuse.
note: I think you might be able to LoS the channel? Someone told me that but I haven’t gotten a chance to go back in and confirm.
You can LoS the beams if you run down the stairs, but literally 99% of the people won’t do it even if I tank the mobs in a position to do so.

Do you have to hide before it starts?
I finally managed to survive with all your suggestions. I did get targeted three times but didn’t die. I just wish it would target the plate wearers instead!
Here’s how I did it in an 11. Stack verse after haste, use fade, 20% DR now wooo. Put bubble on the other guy getting corrupted. Pump damage into corrupter for attonement.
So are you saying this specific damaging ability- when cast by 2 enemies on 2 players: a disc priest who has atonement on 2 ppl (whose specialty is easily applying atonement on all group members for equal full group heal) has less problems than a lightweaving holy priest who’s most efficiently (strength) is cleave swap healing 2 people?
Would have thought this ability would have optimal for Hpriest to take care of
DR, and shields kind of trivialize it, and there’s always direct penances.
