Yes bursting sucks when people don’t play around it
Everything has to be played around. But Afflicted? Well, only a small portion of classes can deal with it… And way too often, only 2 people in group (including healer) is too few.
Afflicted and Incorporeal as I can’t do much for Incorpo and nothing at all for afflicted, which every time slow my progress in these weeks since I need to build my own groups.
Exactly. It’s completely leaving out a lot of classes, making you very “unattractive” to a lot of groups. You’ll have to form your own group and just pray that the guys can press their dispells…
Not a big fan of afflicted. Its not a hard affix, but its annoying having to find the ghosts and dispel/heal them (especially during high healing moments). Also dont like when they overlap with other important dispels. I can use my totem for most of them though, so not a big issue for me, but still its a tedious affix and i can easily miss them if there’s other chatter going on on discord and i get distracted 
Yeah, I play resto sham as well too myself. It’s the easiest class to solo deal with the affixes, you can just top it off in 1s with heals too.
But problem is, when you play something like, rogue, DK, lock, DH or something… you can’t do ANYTHING… And you have to rely on others in group… And if they don’t do their job, at least a bit properly… well, then you’re pretty much screwed.
Every other affix, is something that EVERYONE deals with in some way.
But afflicted? Is one that barrely half the classes can actually deal with.
I hate afflicted with a passion as healer since you are supposed to do both and you often can not even find where they are and you dispell is on cooldown anyway. They also always happen during the healing intensive moments. Just stop this crap.

Any class that play healer can deal with it do 8/13 and you only need 2/5 to be able to do it. 1 person can do it but it takes a little bit more effort. It’s a joke affix
As a healer it depends. Sometimes the dps take care of it before I can even look where they are, other times it’s an absolute nightmare.
For example Vexamus. I need every dispel CD I can get. During the ‘move from swirleys’ phase 2 afflicted spawn. Me, that just dispelled someone with 2+ orb stacks can’t do much for the next 8 sec and dps are focussed on running. Both go off and we get 2 stacks.
As a healer I generaly dislike an extra npc that needs attention, especially during heavy movement+healing phases of a boss fight.
I much much prefer Incorp. With this one we can be rewarded when played right, at least as a priest that talents into dominate mind.

Sanguine and it’s not close.
Pass / Fail check affixes suck if people ignore them but are otherwise inconsequential handled properly.
Sanguine saps your time at every point along the key regardless of how well you handle it.
Random ppl are my most hated affix.

DK can do this affix as well, just saying.
Death coiling them to full hp takes quite some time though, no?
To be honest I am not sure. I didn’t get to test this myself, but a DK I was running with recently could do it in 2(ish?) Death Coils. Or he’d cast one and I could fill the rest up with a single Vivify.
Afflicted feels more like a non-affix most of the time, provided you create a group with 1 - 2 others who can dispel it besides the healer in case the healer needs to dispel something else or need to heal the group so they don’t have spare gcd’s when a second one spawns.
Raging with its CC immunity on certain trash packs and incorporeal just from a gameplay feel standpoint are ones that i do dislike however.
RLP with the flamedancers on raging… Holy…
On a +17 last season it took 3 death coils. Theoratically it is doable to take 1 as DK.
others players. I quit season after season well below my skill level because of the amount of stupids i have to endure
Bollocks!!! 
I’d say 10 seconds at best
Well, it is every 30 seconds, but they stay for 10 seconds so your afflicted alarm is fireing all the time. Yesterday again a NOP dungeon (Uldaman 10) as healer. And yes, DH tank, 2 warriors and a rogue. It is hell to play a healer in weeks like this. You can not even heal them easy, you need to Renew mist, soothing, envelop, vivify, vivify. 5 gcd’s to get 1 away.
WTF.
