From your summary
- Do
- You've closed a lot of this since last night, and your button mix inside
Voidform still matches typical Shadow Priests. Have the next button pressed as the current cast or channel finishes, so nothing sits between them. - Why
- Short gaps between casts still cost you about 4% of your presses on the kill.
- 211k, #1 of 15 damage dealers, parse 89.
- Last night Phase 2 was 81% of a typical Shadow Priest; tonight 95%, with 3 long stops instead of 7.
- Presses that came right as the last one finished went from 79% last night to 84%.

Collect eggs and break them in the 
Spectral Coils soaks (two teams on Heroic). Dodge 
Caustic Waves, which come from the side of the wing Ula'tek pulls back and spawn a deadly Viper if they hit an egg carrier. After two cycles, 
Rage of the Shackled exposes the 
Venomous Heart, which takes 100% more damage for 20 seconds.

11k behind a typical Shadow Priest here · 7k pinned to a fix below; the striped rest is a little of every button
Tentacle Slam did about 54% of a typical Shadow Priest's damage here.You pressed it as often as typical Shadow Priests. Each one hit about half as hard (95k vs 204k). We haven't found why yet, so there's no fix to give.
The raid splits to the two side platforms. Kill the Doomscale Warden, break 
Grasping Fangs tethers two at a time, carry eggs to the Cauldron, and interrupt the Weakened Doomscale's 
Anguished Cry.

How you pressed buttons iYour presses on pull 9 compared to top Shadow Priests on their kills.
Pull 9: 2 things to fix, plus haste and button speed
Why you pressed less
Your global cooldown was 1.16s, top Shadow Priests 1.10s, so haste costs you about 5% of your presses.
2 times you went 4 seconds or more without pressing anything; top Shadow Priests: about 6. At 3:26 (5s), 3:32 (5s). Worth a look on your video: moving, a mechanic, or out of range?
84% of your presses came right as the last one finished (top Shadow Priests 88%). Short pauses add up to 6.3s a minute (3.9s).

| Volatile PurgeHow to avoid?Spread out after your soak: the circle goes off 5 seconds later and hits everyone near you.iEveryone who soaks a Serpent's Bite gets their own Volatile Purge, so a clean hit isn't avoidable. Circles stack, though: standing near other soakers makes the burst and the damage over time much bigger. This row counts only the times a second circle hit you at the same moment as yours, and only that circle's damage.

Rite of the Hash'eyGems
Your spec's top stats are Mastery and Haste. Mastery (Shadow Weaving) raises your damage for each of your damage over time effects on the target, and gives the full bonus on every target during Voidform. Haste speeds up your casts, makes your damage over time effects tick faster and lowers your global cooldown. A Mastery and Haste gem helps with both.
