I linked class design philosophy to real life philosophy.
If one is of a relativist philosophy, that thinks there is no true reality, that we are all Gods of our own realities, that a banana on a wall is art, it’s going to show in everything one does.
Especially creative endeavors.
Seriously, stop reading and go out and interact with your community. Youll find reality isn’t a textbook.

Case in point. I rest my case.
I think most people are missing the point of this thread. Rasz is a PAIN to heal for Evoker. If you check logs, you’ll see that while Preservation is overall the highest HPS for the raid, they are dead middle on Rasz.
warcraftlogs. com/zone/statistics/31#metric=hps&difficulty=3&boss=2607
It’s a huge drop in effectiveness that is impossible to overcome with skill. Even in the highest parses, Devoker is middling at best.
In short, if you have an Evoker, you’d better be running a huge comp so the kits of other healers can compensate for ours. Small groups with multiple Evokers are going to struggle, and may not be able to kill the boss with that comp.

Why is it unacceptable for a class to be the middle of the pack?
In and of itself, not a problem. But if one spec does really well on most fights, and then runs into a wall on one specific boss, then that boss is demonstrably harder than the other bosses for that spec. And this thread is about someone struggling with that wall. I just want to validate the OP in their feeling that this is hard, because it is.
My healing does not drop significantly on Raz normal I am still putting out around 45k hps (not counting overhealing).
Tips
- Rewind first set of bombs (pushes me up to 80k hps at this point)
- Dip into storm just before knockback (too risky to stay out of it) use verdant on a near by ally and then dream breath 1 or 2 (I prefer 1)
- Use hover only to dodge breath
- On add platform use time dilation 70% on tank when they get low (gives you time to top him up)
- On add platform use knock up and knock back when needed to interrupt adds (it doesnt last long but every bit helps people get kicks off CD)
- During stormshield 1 at the start of phase 2 use rewind (once people dip to about 50% will extend their survival)
- Use Zephyr, Obsidian skin, Ruby regen skill as often as possible on bomb phases
- If a tank is getting trucked use timedilation
I am only mid 370s but I still tend to top healing meters in my raid (especially when I figure out where to use rewind).
A second Dracthyr adds another rewind which can trivialise big mechanics (you would need to alternate rewinds so Dracthyr 2 would do bomb set 2 and stormshield 2 with his rewinds)

Out of all the replies. You were the only one to actually give advice on a rotation.
There is hope in humanity.
