I decided to post this to share some tips with you fellow priests who will be faced with the dispelslack duty.
General tips:
Sack the CTRA decure buffer. There's a reason why people still develope decursive like addons even if the CTRA decure buffer is available. Because of the myriads (and even CT_team aknowledges they're better) decursive addons, the CTRA decure buffer receives little or no attention thus it is left behind at the decursive addon race. It's best shown in the case of a "missed decuring" where there is curable debuffs on a player but for some reason you can't cure them. CTRA decurser takes around 0.4-0.6 seconds to determine that it can't cure a buff when a decursive ascendant decursive will halve that time. If you have to cure about 200 curses per fight, that means a time save of a full minute where you could have been curing.
Also, the CTRA decurer doesn't check if there's for example abolish disease on the target that has a disease debuff and tries to cure it thus wasting mana.
I use www.curse-gaming.com/en/wow/addons-5338-1-tornados-decursive.html but I know there's a bunch of better mods available.
Chromaggus tips:
Gearwise get 3set Transce bonus and don't lose it. After that, just stack MFS. My own observatios shows that in Chrommy fight around 20-25 spirit is worth of about 5 MFS, even with the Transce bonus. With 300 spirit, your 3 set bonus and Meditation is worth of around 30 MFS each making total of 60 MFS.
As a priest, your #1 priority is to cure the blue macig debuffs. If you have mana, go for disease debuffing. I use as a rule of thumb that "If I have more than 90% mana, cure diseases and macig debuffs, under 90% mana only focus on macig ones. When I hit 20%, use a pot. It's even worse to idle at 100% mana than being oom" With these simple rules I've managed wriggle away with 0-2 manapots per fight and loads of cured debuffs.
Always use max rank spells. The manacost is exactly the same with dispel magic 1 and 2 and with cure disease and abolish disease. The difference is that you will get a bunch of less resisted cures with the max ranks spells than with the lower rank.
Oh, and do not forget to get out of shadowform. You can't cure diseases while being in SF and that might lead to certain confusion to as "why isn't my decurer working!?"
