Expected Tanking Position:
Black star is the platform in the middle. She should be tanked here for Stage 1 and Stage 2. Blue circles are the aura pools - North, East, West. Red Diamond is where she should be tanked after unrooted at 45%. If the enraged golem is spawned, both her and it need to be in the red diamond area.
All toons - after 45% should be stacked under the mob(s) that are up for splash curing of the Rotting Flesh DoT. The only time you need to not be in this pile is when you have Aura of Pain and are supposed to run away for the short duration of that debuff.
The fight:Hail her to start the fight, no ramp tank needed. From 100%-70% full burn should be done to limit the amount of adds that are dealt with, limit the amount of healing crystals that spawn, and to limit the amount of times she can cast Mark of Sul. AE abilities should be used to hit her and the adds. All mobs should be tanked on the platform in the center.
At 70% she will switch to Damsel of Decay, and burns should continue. She will start casting Poison Blast and Mortal Decay. When emoted on Poison Blast - get near the pile of toons, the damage gets split. When Mortal Decay is emoted - you have 10s to find the Aura in one of the three pools and get into it. This is preventative to keep the Mortal Decay DoT from landing on you, it will not remove it if you already are afflicted. This is for ALL toons, all 54 should get in the pool. No one pee in the deep end. Tanks - She will become rooted in the center and memblur - cast a hate over time on her before getting in the pool or pick her up asap when the all clear goes off. Any adds that are still up when Mortal Decay starts should be dragged with you to the Aura. She needs to be returned to the center platform to spawn the Aura that protects against Mortal Decay.
At 45% she will warp to center, become Enslaver of Souls, become rooted, and 3 minis will spawn. MTO - keep aggro on her, but there is no need to stand and get beaten as she is rooted and will not summon during this time. The three minis will be pulled to their respective pools (marked above) to be killed. When the minis are dead, AS,EoS will unroot and can be moved to the diamond location for final killing. Everyone should be gathered nearby to get cured of the Rotting Flesh DoT. If emoted for Aura of Pain, you need to run either to the far north or the far south in the room to get away from other people, so when you explode, you will not kill everyone.
Log of fight:
Beginning of event text:[Thu Aug 04 17:42:22 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life shouts 'Why have you been so cruel, coming to me with [malicious intent]? Have I not been the most benevolent benefactor? The lifegiver? Am I not more deserving of your affection than the Prime Healer himself?'
[Thu Aug 04 17:42:24 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life shouts 'You bring [pain and death]. I bring life everlasting. You misunderstand what gifts I have to offer your world.'
[Thu Aug 04 17:42:25 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life shouts 'If I must defend myself, I will, but I cannot comprehend this unwarranted aggression towards me.'
After 6s, the first wave of adds spawn:[Thu Aug 04 17:42:31 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life calls upon her devoted followers to defend her!
And then every 1m 30s after while still above 70%:[Thu Aug 04 17:44:02 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay calls upon her devoted followers to defend her!
You can see in the above that we hit 70%, turned her to Damsel of Decay right as the adds were due to spawn -
this means we need to kill her faster next time.
Also while she is Lady of life, we have A Shard of Health crystals to deal with. These spawn 3 at a time at the pools in the North, East, and West. They cast Healing Light repeatedly while alive. After 30s, AS,LoL will cast Wave of Life. The power of this spell depends on how many crystals are still up. At 0 crystals, the AE from Wave of Life isn't too bad to splash heal through. At 3 crystals up, expect a mostly raid wide wipe:[Thu Aug 04 17:42:58 2016] a Shard of Health begins to cast a spell. <Healing Light>
[Thu Aug 04 17:42:58 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life is lightly healed by pure energy.
[Thu Aug 04 17:42:58 2016] a Shard of Health begins to cast a spell. <Healing Light>

[Thu Aug 04 17:42:58 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life is lightly healed by pure energy.
[Thu Aug 04 17:43:26 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Wave of Life>
[Thu Aug 04 17:44:31 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay begins to cast a spell. <Wave of Life>
To illustrate the varying power of the Wave of Life spell:[Thu Apr 21 19:12:49 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Wave of Life>
[Thu Apr 21 19:12:49 2016] A blast of energy throws you backwards! You have taken 179822 points of damage.
[Thu Apr 21 19:12:49 2016] Anashti Sul is greatly restored by the shards of pure health!

[Thu Apr 21 19:11:44 2016] A blast of energy throws you backwards! You have taken 70258 points of damage.
[Thu Apr 21 19:11:44 2016] Anashti Sul is lightly restored by the shards of pure health!
The Shards of Health need to be killed ASAP to prevent the AE, and to prevent them from healing her - each cast of the Healing Light by them on her is a 4250000 heal.
While all that is going on, we also have to deal with her casting Mark of Sul on herself. This ability puts a defensive proc on her that will react to melee hits. Every proc will heal her for 2575500. This spell procs A LOT. It is important to use a beneficial dispel to remove it. This spell is cast every 35s and needs to be removed. With all the melee, tanks, pets, and swarm pets - this can negate the entire burn if not removed:[Thu Aug 04 17:42:58 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Mark of Sul>
[Thu Aug 04 17:42:58 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life is healed by enemy attacks.
[Thu Aug 04 17:43:33 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Mark of Sul>
[Thu Aug 04 17:43:33 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life is healed by enemy attacks.
To throw one more ability into the mix before 70% - she will also cast Splash of Purification on herself approx. every 35s. This seems to strip some debuffs off her and also heals for a large amount:[Thu Aug 04 17:42:57 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Splash of Purification>
[Thu Aug 04 17:43:31 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Splash of Purification>
At 70% she emotes, and turns from Lady of Life to Damsel of Decay:[Thu Aug 04 17:44:01 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life shouts 'Enough of this charade... You are not deserving of my charity or my compassion. No... Death and decay is all you deserve. And you shall have it! Come lay your weak and worthless flesh at my feet!'
At 70%, she stops summoning adds and begins new abilities. No more corruption or disease spells should be cast at this point. She starts emoting poison blast every 15s. You have approximately 10s to get into the pile of people to disperse the damage:[Thu Aug 04 17:44:06 2016] Sunlace has been targeted for poison blast!
[Thu Aug 04 17:44:21 2016] Cyprian has been targeted for poison blast!
[Thu Aug 04 17:44:36 2016] Mulila has been targeted for poison blast!

[Thu Aug 04 17:45:02 2016] You are hit by a Poison Blast for 9803 damage.

[Thu Aug 04 17:47:02 2016] You are hit by a Poison Blast for 14285 damage.
Also at 70%, she starts emoting for Mortal Decay. When this emote goes off, she will root in center, stop summoning briefly, and you will have 10s to get to the Protective Aura pool. She will emote this every 30s until 45%. All toons including MTO need to get to the Aura. This emote should be set to interrupt and set to make sure you know that you need to pay attention to it:[Thu Aug 04 17:44:21 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay says 'Stand and watch in horror as I melt the flesh from your bones!'
[Thu Aug 04 17:44:51 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay says 'Stand and watch in horror as I melt the flesh from your bones!'
[Thu Aug 04 17:45:21 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay says 'Stand and watch in horror as I melt the flesh from your bones!'
[Thu Aug 04 17:45:52 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay says 'Stand and watch in horror as I melt the flesh from your bones!'
[Thu Aug 04 17:46:21 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay says 'Stand and watch in horror as I melt the flesh from your bones!'
[Thu Aug 04 17:46:51 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay says 'Stand and watch in horror as I melt the flesh from your bones!'
[Thu Aug 04 17:47:21 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay says 'Stand and watch in horror as I melt the flesh from your bones!'
You need to make your best effort to get into the correct pool on Mortal Decay emotes. You need to have your particles adjusted to allow you to see the Aura, or you need to get into the pool with the pile of people in it. Neither should be hard to see at this point of your raiding career. 10s is an eternity to find that Aura and move to it. If you fail this emote, you are wasting healer attention off the tanks. This is a 5 minute high damage DoT and at that point, you are more of a drain to keep alive than to rez.
All toons should be shrunk for this event so that 54 people can fit into the kiddy pool. See this post if you are confused as to the requirements of shrink: http://forums.eqfreelance.net/index.php?topic=7416.0At 45% she warps to middle, becomes rooted, turns from Damsel of Decay to Enslaver of Souls, and summons 3 minis. These mini's do not hit terribly hard, but have special abilities they use:[Thu Aug 04 17:47:46 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay shouts 'Witness the true might of decay, disease, and death! EVERYthing dies, and I control what is dead. I will command EVERYTHING!'
The three minis are Brutal Aspect of Decay, Voracious Aspect of Disease, and Haunting Aspect of Death. These minis should be tanked in their respective auras marked on the map above. They also cast and have abilities below:[Thu Aug 04 17:47:47 2016] Brutal Aspect of Decay begins to cast a spell. <Blessing of Decay>
[Thu May 05 19:26:24 2016] Blood flows from a massive slash in your side.
[Thu May 05 19:26:25 2016] You have taken 19111 damage from Ravaging Wounds by Voracious Aspect of Disease
[Thu Apr 21 19:41:00 2016] You are crushed by a massive fist! You have taken 30929 points of damage.
[Thu Apr 21 19:42:21 2016] You resist the Punishing Blow spell!
[Sat Apr 16 18:46:04 2016] Haunting Aspect of Death begins to cast a spell. <Chilling Stare>
[Sat Apr 16 18:46:04 2016] You are frozen by a chilling stare. You have taken 81427 points of damage.
[Thu Aug 04 17:48:22 2016] Voracious Aspect of Disease begins to cast a spell. <Horrifying Shriek>
[Thu Aug 04 17:48:22 2016] Your arms feel weak.
During this time from 45% to 0%, she will target 2 people every 25s and cast Aura of Pain on them. This 12s (server tick rounding could show up to 17s) debuff in your song window makes you the target of an AE called Explosion of Pain. This is high damage and you should leave the raid pile and move to the far north or the far south of the room away from other people. When the debuff is gone, you are safe to return. The last attempt (8/4/16) only 34 people got the aura of pain emote - yet 294 people were hit with the AE. This means people were failing the move away emote pretty horrendously - PAY ATTENTION:[Thu Aug 04 17:48:14 2016] Anashti Sul envelops Meepitt in an Aura of Pain!
[Thu Aug 04 17:48:14 2016] Anashti Sul envelops Tirranun in an Aura of Pain!

Also from 45% to 0%, she will be casting Rotting Flesh every 45s. This is the reason we need to be bunched up under her - so the paladins can splash this off:[Thu Aug 04 17:48:21 2016] Anashti Sul, Enslaver of Souls begins to cast a spell. <Rotting Flesh>

After the minis are dead or combined...:[Thu Aug 04 17:50:50 2016] Haunting Aspect of Death has been slain by Oruatyrim!
[Thu Aug 04 17:50:51 2016] Anashti Sul, Enslaver of Souls shouts 'Impossible! I don't know how you have survived, but now you will die! I will finish this myself!'

At points in the previous fights, that look like post wipes, there was another spell cast as well, but very infrequently seen on my logs:
[Thu Apr 14 19:56:14 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Ocean's Cleansing>
[Fri Apr 15 18:11:44 2016] Anashti Sul, Lady of Life begins to cast a spell. <Ocean's Cleansing>
