This fight isn't too hard to clear, you just need to understand it!

Everyone watch the ground! If you see a swirly under you your about to be hit by [spell=153692] stay out of this. If your caught in the middle of a purple triangle stretching out from under the boss your about to be hit by [spell=154175] if you get hit you will be knocked back into the water.

Once Bonemaw starts casting [spell=153804]. Everyone needs to stand in the BAD STUFF! That's right get in the [spell=153692] and you won't get blown off the edge of the platform. Once inhale ends get out of the bad stuff.

At about 50% he will summon two Carrion Worms at 30% hp (Note these are the same worms you fought to get to the boss, the ones that disappeared before you could kill them, well now is your chance to finish them) At this stage you will have 3 [spell=154175]s going across the room (avoid them, obviously), the two new worms must be burnt down, make sure you follow the same strategy with [spell=153804].

Healer keep an eye on the dps attacking the 2 adds at 50%.
[spell=153496] will target any melee with aggro or ranged if no melee are close, so healer what you do best and heal them. When the 2 worms are dead it goes back to the same fight as before.

This was written for a normal clear, but I will add any heroic changes when (If) I clear it
