Last night I did a raid mob, my second and I had the same experience on both; other than most of the spells not working on it the mobs aoe can easily 1 shot an illusionist and the range of the aoe was much greater than spell range for my spells. Basically, if I want to add anything other than breeze I would have had to run in and out of range and hope the aoe did not hit while I was in spell range. For a few extra dps, better to buff and stay out of range and save the debt you will share. I would add that I was getting aggro a lot. Now, I had haste and breeze cast, the main tank was taunting and I have grouped with him beforeand he is good at tanking. I cast no other spells other than mezzing a minion that was linked and mezzable and after the third mez cast I was getting aggo that was also 1 shotting me. I also cast blink and barrier of intellict to try to drop aggro which did nothing Now, never had this problem before in this particular group other than these raid mobs. So, I have to wonder if taunt is actually more effective than my ability to gain aggro or not. Either that or taunts are getting resisted where my spells are not so I could be getting more cummulative aggro than even an effective tank can taunt off on some mobs
