TheWoWDBOn heroic make sure your group is NOT interrupting Life Warden Gola's Waterbolt, and I would recommend against interrupting the Rapid Tide as well (even though the dungeon journal recommends this), because any interrupt makes his spells uninterruptable for a while. and revitalizing waters MUST be interrupted as it is a 25% heal.
Also make sure someone is purging Briarskin as it reduces damage taken by 75%.
