FIGHT OVERVIEW
Two phase fight. In P1 you fight Diurna and deal with regular waves of multiple different adds that spawn in groups.
In P1, split your raid in 2. One group deals with the boss and destroys the eggs. One group deals with the regular waves of adds. Keep the boss and the adds far away from each other.
In P1, constantly move Diurna near new eggs and use the beams of her staff to destroy them. When all eggs have been destroyed, or after 5 minutes, P2 starts.
In P2, adds stop spawning. There's only Diurna left and she deals increasing damage. Diurna cannot die until all eggs have been destroyed.
PHASE
1
Groups of adds constantly spawn and need to be killed. Keep them 50yd away from Diurna and split your raid in 2 groups. One group deals with the boss while the other deals with adds.
Use the staff from the boss to destroy the eggs in the room. When all eggs have been destroyed, or after 5 minutes, P2 starts.

Rapid Incubation
2s Cast
Regularly, the 2 eggs closest to the boss are marked and will hatch after 15s if not destroyed. This spawns a Nascent Proto-Dragon that just auto-attacks its target.

This add is different from the others that spawn regularly in waves.

Extra Action Button
After each Rapid Incubation, Diurna plants her staff into the ground and gains 1 stack of a 10% damage done buff.
Players can use an extra action button when next to the staff on the ground. Using the button will cause a beam to follow that player, dealing damage to anyone hit and destroying any eggs in its path. 1 stack is removed on the boss per use.

A general WeakAura pack that provides "icon" style mechanics/debuff as well as short descriptions for each. Pretty standard. We also recommend downloading Causese Sound addon to hear vocal announcements. Feel free to thank the amazing Causese here (sorry, no Twitter that I know of).

Co Tank WeakAura By Causese
Another must-have by Causese if you play or are planning to play tank. It informs you when to taunt and how your co-tank is doing with their mechanics.
Make sure to checkout the Causese Sound addon to also pair it with appropriate sound announcements.
