If I kill H Fyrakk first, can I still get the axe from N and LFR, or are the drop chances all combined in one H Fyrakk kill?

Killing at higher difficulty will include chances of all lower difficulties.

The drop chances are combined into one. You have the same odds doing just your hardest difficulty vs. doing all of them.
Ya but if I do LFR 1st I get a Greater Ember if I don’t get the axe, same for Normal and Heroic.
However if I do Normal or Heroic 1st I don’t get the Greater Embers on the prior difficulties.

From what I hear (and if someone has a source from Blizz that confirms or denies this, please share it) the lesser and greater embers don’t actually take effect until the next reset. If that is the case, it would still be worth doing all the difficulties just for that, but they don’t have to be in any specific order.
If I do Heroic first, Fyrakk will not drop a Greater Essence on Normal or LFR.
So it seems best to do LFR first, normal second, then heroic last.
Don’t trust any of the comments above, the axe just dropped for one of the paladins in Normal, do ALL of them weekly.
The axe drops?

Again, this is what I have heard, so I can’t back it up, so take it as you will (with a grain of salt, understandably), the greater ember from Heroic will still account for the LFR and Normal difficulties.
Did they get a Heroic kill before killing him on Normal?
If it dropped on normal, then they hadn’t done heroic yet.
Kill Fyrakk on the highest difficulty you can, and it includes the chances you’d get in every difficulty below. No need to run it on the other difficulties.

Except you will get 3 Greater Essences a week if you Kill LFR 1st, Normal 2nd, Heroic 3rd vs 1 Greater Essence if you kill Fyrakk on Heroic 1st because killing Fyrakk on Heroic will prevent Greater Essences from dropping on LFR and Normal difficulty reducing your odds at the axe for next weak.
But what people are saying is that item is likely a placeholder with an associated value. So even though you’ve gotten 3 of them, it’s probably the same as getting the one from heroic. When you redeem the heroic it counts as you redeeming the ones before it too.
Yeah, I mean it’s easy to get it all confused because they did a horrible job of explaining the system.
The way it’s stated to work is that all of the shards have a value associated with their difficulty, and the one that drops in heroic contains all of the value of normal and lfr as well.
I don’t trust Blizzard to be correct with that, for all we know their numbers are off when we kill Heroic 1st <_<
Look I don’t either but I’m not gonna engage in more gameplay just to prove them wrong either. 
I don’t believe that at all, killing Fyr on heroic shouldn’t stopping it dropping from normal, bliz has not been transparent about it at all so nobody actually knows.
Sure, they did. They said, “As with Nasz’uro, completion on higher difficulties will include your chances from all uncompleted lower difficulties that week–this also includes the cumulative increase in chances for future weeks.”

No, LFR and normal chances are added to heroic.
Nope, the drop chance is higher in higher difficulties but there is no exactly wording that says once you kill it in heroic, the drop rate is LFR and Normal becomes zero for the week.
This is incorrect. There’s literally linked confirmation that it’s incorrect directly above your post.
The exact wording is literally in the post and quote that you’re responding to…
Also across all drops there is not a single one that has evidence of getting the Lego on a lower difficulty after killing heroic.
So while you refuse to believe that it’s the case, so far the data (and direct quotes from blizzard) say that you’re wrong.
Go ahead and waste time if you think there’s any merit to what you’re saying, but don’t spread misinformation and waste other people’s time when they read your statements and go do it on all difficulties for no reason.
