Elemental Shaman Tips on The Restless Cabal
On this fight, a ranged DPS will tank one of the bosses, Zaxasj the Speaker. Elemental Shamans are unlikely to be ideal for that role, so make sure to focus your damage on Fa'thuul the Feared at first.
When targeted by Crushing Doubt, wait 4 seconds before using
Astral Shift.
This is because this spell's damage increases every 2 seconds, so it hurts a lot
more toward the end of its duration. That being said, you should prioritize having
Astral Shift available for the two
Storm of Annihilations.
During Storm of Annihilation, you should feel free to interrupt
any
Witness the End cast from the adds.
Try to line up a high-stack Promises of Power buff with your cooldowns,
if possible. Ideally, you want to use that damage buff to burst down the shields
the bosses gain from activating Relics of Power.

Elemental Shaman Tips on Uu'nat, Harbinger of the Void
Be careful not to attack your allies when Gift of N'Zoth: Lunacy is cast.
You should be able to use Tremor Totem to remove the fears from
Unknowable Terror.
You can use Thunderstorm to interrupt and help stack the Primordial
Mindbenders.
Capacitor Totem and
Wind Shear will also interrupt
them.
