That isn’t how the fight sequences though. Small circles on players don’t spawn lava, they spawn tornadoes; Lava Geyser takes place after the Brand is cast. The tank is plenty safe to be on the outside until after Brand goes off.
It is every time I’ve tanked the boss.
Sorry to say, you’re misunderstanding the mechanics then. Geyser happens after everyone’s small circles have gone off. Tank doesn’t have to move at all until after the big circle finishes.
Check any video if you don’t believe me, but I’ve killed it on Heroic every week on two characters so I’ve seen it enough.
You want to move him away from the Geysers so people have space to spread behind him with Overheated.
And he’s a real big monkey that doesn’t like to move.
Maybe its just a matter of camera angle. The only time I ever miss beams is when DHs and their big dumb wings block the view while they spazz out.
I’m not one who has any eye sight problems besides having ever so slightly bad vision. While I find the lines on the ground easy to see even with the foliage, the beams for some reason are hard for me to notice at times.
Also, even with lowered graphics in raid and a computer meant for gaming, for some reason whenever I’m near the giant tree adds my frames just take a nose dive. Whether it’s the adds before you start the fight or during the fight. My frames end up around 10fps and it’s awful trying to dodge swirlies and conals with.
That IS annoying. 
Sorry.
Story First.
Game play, maybe… If there’s time. And it doesn’t conflict with the color palette of the story.

Good news: There’s a RED flower on Mythic! Yay!
(Bad news: You only have 10 seconds to clear it or it wipes the raid, it explodes in a giant green swirly like all the other flowers, further obscuring vision, and it loves to spawn DURING the cutter beams. sigh)
My human eyes are capable of differentiating the different colors.
The kudzu covering everything is also irritating.
You have to play “find the feast”.
We dropped a marker and always dropped the feasts there.
Ready check.
“You haven’t eaten. Eat.”
“I did eat.”
“I think you clicked the soulwell instead of the feast. Which is ALSO covered by kudzu and indistinguishable.”

This kinda reminds me of the Durumu situation in MoP (ToT), some people could see it ok, but a lot of people, depending on their graphical settings or eyesight issues, just couldn’t survive the fight.

It’s still not as bad as Lords of Dread.
This was with “essential” spell effects only.
And then those green poison balls come in and we’re supposed to dodge them. Yeah, okay.
Here’s my “yeah, okay!” screenshot from Nymue. This was starting the 3rd add phase on Mythic prog last night.
“Don’t let the trees cross the blue lines!”
lol ok
The worst thing is when the trees just start randomly wandering around, even when I as the tank am standing perfectly still. It’s fine and then… nah he’s just gonna take a stroll for no reason.
(If you tank this on a human-sized character, you probably never encounter this. It usually happens to small tanks, and big tanks like bears. Large humanoid boss models have had issues with non-human-proportioned tanks since vanilla.)

as annoying as this fight is ide argue smolderon is worse. its red on red with red circles and red tornados. atleast for nymue i was able to see stuff but for smolderon im mostly banking on luck. i do enjoy the green grass on the floor covering up feasts though. that is hilarious

Very common mistake Blizzard makes. They always want to make things thematically appropriate. Which, yknow, is great. Except that they include hit boxes in that, so you tend to get the hit boxes be generally the same colour as the floor… Sometimes it’s different enough to be fine, sometimes it all just blends in way too much.
Remember Sire Denathrius? Dark red swirlies, dark red lines, dark red circles, all on a dark red floor…
Works with any deployable object. Try it out with the various fireplaces. Warlock healthstones are a treat, and Summoning closet looks incredible

I think the lasers are the only problem, especially when some mistweaver spells (like the totem or something? I’ve literally never even specced into it) look just like them.
The classic, “It’s not a problem for me, so it doesn’t exist.”
