The timing on the frog jumps is pretty consistent, so what you should do is pull the lever on a timer w/ boss timer. The way we did it, we did pull timer for 10 seconds, pulled lever at 7 second mark (could do 8 second too but 6 second might cut it close), and pulled boss at end of timer. This will make the syncing a lot better for the jumps. Additionally, if you have higher movement classes, it will help a lot.

About Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible
Millennia ago, Neltharion established Aberrus, a secret laboratory where he conducted world altering experiments. Recently rediscovered, Aberrus is now under attack from all sides as forces seeking to claim the Earth-Warder's legacy search for any power that remains. The champions of Azeroth must venture into the shadows and ensure Neltharion's dark power doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

You might be going into this looking for a fun, chill night with your friends after clearing your main raid, but this achievement will suck the life out of your soul and make you wonder if that mount is reallllllly worth it.
Click the level on the right hand side of the doorway into Rashok's room before you pull the boss. It will spawn a Lost Lunker which will hop around the room while you fight the boss.
All you have to do is hit the frog with [spell=405821] 5 times, but he jumps around somewhat erratically which makes it a bit harder. The time between movements was pretty consistent so you'll have some idea of when he's going to move but the distance and direction he moves seemed to be completely random from what we could tell.
Given the randomness of his movements the best advice I can give is to save mobility CDs for Slams so people can quickly get out to wherever he decides to jump. We also found that if we pulled right around when the frog was jumping it lined up the timing of his jumps with the timings of the Slam target being picked, so they'd have as much time as possible to react and wouldn't have to worry about him moving as they got to him.
Also keep in mind this means the Searing Slams will be placed all over the room which makes it harder to dodge waves. You should also be careful to never hit an existing Searing Slam with a new one as this causes high raid damage. You only need 5 leaps (each one takes 20% off the frog) and you get way more than you need before the enrage timer so don't worry about missing one.
This frog also looks identical to the one we fought for the Primal Council meta last tier, albeit a little Shadowflamey now. He's also gone from 1B health to ~215M so next tier he'll be weak enough that we can finally kill him.
