Tips
Make sure to have 
Shield Block up for 
Shear Mind, as it
is blockable.
Use 
Shockwave/Stormbolt to help stun and interrupt the
Eldritch Abominations; this applies particularly to Storm Bolt, since it can be used at
range, allowing you to keep unnecessary boss movement to a minimum.
Make sure to use defensive cooldowns during 
Umbral Shell, as
healing received is reduced by 100%.
If you are soaking a 
Void Crash, use 
Spell Reflection to
reduce the damage you take from it.

Tips
A combination of 
Heroic Leap and 
Intercept can help make the
tank swap much more quick and avoid unnecessary issues.
The fear from 
Unknowable Terror is preventable with
Berserker Rage. You will still take a large amount of Shadow damage
regardless, so only use Berserker Rage on the fear if absolutely necessary.
Use Shockwave as an AoE interrupt for the
Primordial Mindbender casts in Phase 2. 
Intimidating Shout
can also be used to help interrupt as well.
