I've received a lot of emails and requests for help regarding the heroic Razuvious encounter. It's a unique encounter in that Priests have to mind control mobs in order to to tank successfully.

Not every guild has the luxury of having two raiding Shadow Priests. Chances are as a healer you're going to have to get into the hot seat and do it yourself.
