I'm starting to think that these cultists have no idea where the Tournament actually is. For an elite raiding party focused on the destruction of the Argent Crusade, they fly in circles an awful lot...
Make sure you tag the cultists as soon as they drop. You need 3/3 Cultists to successfully complete, regardless of whether you kill the dragon or not & the damn things can be tagged separately from Chillmaw.
As a geared pally I can solo it - just keep moving away from bombs - but I'm getting seriously sick of having to do it 2 or 3 times because of groups ninja-ing my cultists (whether intentionally or accidentally).
