It's easier for melee since we have to dance during phase 1. The pattern should be memorized before phase 2 of the encounter begins, if not just tell them they can't roll on gear if they die to it. One time we were pushing a 17 minute kill, since all of our DPS died from the safe zone 1 to safe zone 2 transition. I eventually got sick of the fight, stopped healing, and ate a slime burst. I wouldn't know about last night though, our DPS couldn't kill web sprays on Maexxna. After four attempts we had to have one of our healers slap hit gear on and do all of the work, and we still didn't clear.
