Every week, Raid Rx (http://www.wow.com/category/raid-rx/) will help you quarterback your healers to victory! Your host is Matt Low (http://www.wow.com/bloggers/matt-low), the grand poobah of World of Matticus (http://www.worldofmatticus.com/) and a founder of No Stock UI (http://www.nostockui.com/), a WoW blog for all things UI, macro, and addon related. Onyxia's the latest raid boss to challenge healers. Here's some phase-by-phase tips to help you get through the ordeal.
I finally managed to heal this fight through a lag infested night when patch 3.2.2 (http://www.wow.com/tag/patch-3.2.2/) landed. Onyxia was a pain in the butt to heal at level 60. Have things changed since then?
No, not by much. In some of the pickup Onyxia (http://www.wow.com/tag/onyxia) groups I joined on my alts, I've seen tanks drop several times. I don't want to guess who the blame should go on to (tank or healer) but I'll provide some pointers and observations for all the healing classes to help streamline the entire healing process.
My colleague, Matthew Rossi, has written a fairly detailed piece on what the entire raid can expect throughout Onyxia's various phases (http://www.wow.com/2009/09/23/ready-check-onyxia/). While the encounter is easy in terms of theory, in practice it can still be challenging for healers if they let their guard down. Do not take Onyxia too lightly.
