Q u o t e:
(I was going to be mean, but instead I'll post nicely)
I think the encounter is bugged given what you wrote. We did 5 attempts last night, 2 attempts we had more than one abom, up to 3 one attempt (which we thought was intended). The other 3 attempts we could only get one abom and thought that was the bug. But either way it is bugged.
Q u o t e:
The mechanics may be working as intended but what the players are trying to convey is the 25man level of difficulty is too high for a normal mode fight.
The data to support this is in the current achievement rates of the guilds across the world. Taking just the US results (many of the top guilds have now had a chance to have a try at these encounters):
10m Plagueworks - http://www.guildox.com/go/g.asp?a=4528&w=US
25m Plagueworks - http://www.guildox.com/go/g.asp?a=4605&w=US
As of the time of writing, a significant number of guilds have completed the 10m version, yet 0 have completed the 25m version.
It would not surprise me if a few of the elite guilds can get this encounter completed, but for the other 99% of guilds - it appears to be out of reach in its current form on normal mode.

What about saurfang? hes . not difficult...
