You need one healer, and one other. That is it.
It’s not rocket science.

Isn’t that only feral and guardian druids?
Protip to priests who want help with the affix: Tell the group you don’t have damage meter open, but dispel meter, and that PI goes to whoever helps the most with affix.

And then you wipe on bosses with dispell mechanics. Also not rocket science.
Nah only costs some speed on guardian.
It’s a grp affix … simple, have dps dispell em … it is not hard
It’s the same every time. Whenever players are expected to do something other just dps.
People refuse to take responsibility when forming the group or taking part in groups.
You target IT and press dispel button 
You are welcome mate 
You can always use blood spec on dk then its no issue to get invited
Learning 1 spec at a time is more than enough 
I am already learning to tank on bear 
Previous season it was Brew 
and you can also heal the spirit instead of dispelling it. Paladin can do both as tank or DPS, so can Druid, and Brewmaster/WW has dispel that works as well. Aug can deal with one “wave” alone. If your comp doesn’t consists of these classes (7 out of 13 existing classes can deal with it btw) then you have to look for other alternatives, ie. bring off spec healing to help with the spirits. If you are not willing to adapt then why do you even play M+ in the first place, blasting trough dungeons isn’t hard.

OK… so were back to the discussion of why MD completely trivializing Bursting is OK or not.
Im a shaman. I have a totem. I don’t even need to select the mobs in any way to do the affix.
How is that fair in any way compared to other classes?
That is just one extreme of the equation. Because warriors, the other extreme case, cant do squat about it.
At the end of the day, there are CORE mechanics, and there are auxiliary mechanics. CORE mechanics should be executed by every class/role equally.
Like boss tank busters. It would be ridiculous to even suggest that some tanks can survive a tank buster and some cant in a 20+. EVERY tank has to survive that tank buster. And if some tanks cant, its either a +30 MDI run, or a massive fail by blizz to balance classes out, or a massive fail in dungeon design.
Another example: swirlies. EVERY class should be able to dodge them by just moving. Some can do more fancy stuff, but everyone can move.
Affixes are one of those CORE mechanics. And should be executed by everyone equally. OR, nerf their effect, extent and damage to such a degree to make them an Auxiliary mechanic.

Affixes are not something that is executed by everyone. That is a fallacy.
They are something you have to take into account when forming groups. No different to whether you want a CR, BL, soother etc etc etc.
i feel like a proud father that see his kids grow up well, when i play with someone that dispels afflicted without leaving me in anxiety.
I am sorry, i am not going to adapt who my friends are.
Macros and addons exist to make it rather trivial. Takes like 1 search and then a copy paste to get the corresponding macro, and another one to get the relevant addon.
imagine if dispelling the affix gave you 10-20% haste for 15 seconds.
dps would literally make WA’s and rotations and demand the healer to never touch it.
Okay. You either don’t understood what I wrote, don’t care or simply too lazy and just came here to whine about one of the easiest affixes in the game. Either way, this conversation is going nowhere so have a nice day/evening/whataver time it is in your current timezone.

Thats the thing. EVERYONE can download an add-on. EVERYONE can trivialize it.
Its up to blizz to decide if they are OK with it or not.
And that is why Drums exist. And the engineering CR. And Invi Pots.
Because its such a necessary tool that you need EVERY comp to have it. Such that every comp at reasonable M+ levels can do the content on “relatively” equal standing.
Therefore, a Warrior can have BL, CR, and Shroud simultaneously. Hence, its fair. For ~20s and below. Which is what most people do.
SO: Sell an item to do the stupid affix…
Other mechanics (for example Dispels) were universilized. Blizz made a whole category of dispels called “magic” that ANY healer could dispel, with the SAME CD on said dispel.
Because it would be utterly ridiculous that the squid boss on ToT some healers could dispel that and others could not. So, either nerf the damage to oblivion or make ALL healers dispel it.
Because its a CORE mechanic. Thats why.

I linked a WA earlier, there are several others.
i mean Wa’s to rotate who gets the buff.
It would be like PI just someone deemed best for it.
