Fyr'alath's Bite, generally you want to taunt and switch at 2 stacks of the debuff. Do note that this ability has a frontal cone effect and needs to be aimed away from your raid.

Sigil of Chains and
Sigil of Silence to help stack and control the casts of the small adds.
- In the last Phase the tank swap is
Infernal Maw which leaves a constant ticking DoT which lasts until the fight is over. Tanks need to coordinate so no tank gets too many stacks.
