I'm getting destroyed tanking the inside dragon on heroic. Granted he hits hard to begin with, but looking at logs, he seems to be parry-hasting to gib me pretty consistently. I'm assuming that this is a function of our positioning (when the cutters happen, the raid is in the slice of pie immediately to my right, "following" me as I strafe around with only one beam in between us, if that makes sense).
Is there a positioning that people use to prevent their melee DPS from generating so many parries? This seems to be a major issue during cutters, but occasionally happens outside the cutters as well. Typical deaths for me look something like this:
[21:33:18.975] Halion hits Ahti 20444 (B: 2034)
[21:33:19.496] Halion Dusk Shroud Ahti 2265 (R: 690)
[21:33:19.598] Halion hits Ahti 22289
[21:33:20.340] Halion hits Ahti 13460 (O: 4619)
I try to get cooldown coverage during the cutters, but even then there tends to be a second or two right as cutters end or while it's ramping up while healers are still adjusting and the cooldown either hasn't gone up yet or has already faded, and something like this obviously only takes a split second to occur.
