Tips for Ulgrax the Devourer for Discipline Priest
Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.
Damage Pattern
Ulgrax's primary damage is going to come from two abilities, Venomous Lash during phase one and Juggernaut Charge during phase two. Venomous Lash is focused burst damage during small windows on a set interval throughout phase one leaving them prime targets for discipline ramps. During intermission, Juggernaut Charge provides some passive damage constantly while in the phase.
What to Ramp for
Venomous Lash will be your primary ramp targets on this fight.

To utilize the above example cooldowns in the game, you will need both the Method Raid Tools and WeakAuras addons. The note above is pasted into a personal note via Method Raid Tools and read out using the Kaze Weakaura. The Kaze Weakaura is set to warn you of a timer 8 seconds in advance by default.

Tips for Bloodbound Horror for Discipline Priest
Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.
Damage Pattern
There are really only 3 primary mechanics that are relevant on this fight from an incoming damage/heal absorb perspective. Gruesome Disgorge is the tank frontal that you stand in to go to the other realm. This mechanic deals a large amount of up front damage and then deals constant ticking damage to you for the entire duration you spend in the other realm. Goresplatter is a large damage over time effect that follows being forced to run away from the boss. This happens infrequently, requires a lot of movement, and often results in limited people being in range. As a result, it's often better to leave handling this to your cohealers. The final mechanic is a large heal absorb on a 30 second cadence called Crimson Rain. With discipline being able to hit a 30 second cadence easily with Bright Pupil allowing double Power Word: Radiance every 30 seconds, this is where you'll want to focus most of your healing.
What to Ramp for
Crimson Rain will be your primary ramp targets for this encounter.

Tips for Sikran for Discipline Priest
Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.
Damage Pattern
The primary incoming damage on this fight revolves around the core Cosmic Simulacrum mechanic. The boss will summon Simulacrum's of various players targeted by a mechanic, which will pulse damage while alive. These Simulacrum's need to be shattered by Decimate, causing significant raid damage via Cosmic Shards. If any Simulacrum's are still alive, the boss will destroy them all themselves with Shattering Sweep. While there is a decent amount of damage taken just from the Simulacrum's being alive, your primary ramp targets will be when the Simulacrum's are destroyed via Decimate as this will be significant damage over a short period of time. Shattering Sweep itself also does significant damage on its own even when not destroying any Simulacrum's.
What to Ramp for
Decimate and Shattering Sweep be your primary ramp targets for this encounter.

Tips for Rasha'nan for Discipline Priest
Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.
Damage Pattern
While there is a variety of mechanics causing damage on this fight, the primary mechanic you will care about as a discipline priest is the Erosive Spray cast with the Lingering Erosion DoT after the fact. There will also be the occasional web mechanic called Spinneret's Websnap that is caused by players snapping their web strands, but while this is raid wide damage, the timing is a bit inconsistent due to being player driven.
What to Ramp for
Erosive Spray and Spinneret's Websnap will be your primary ramp targets for this encounter.

Tips for Broodtwister Ovi'nax for Discipline Priest
Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.
Damage Pattern
The primary damage on this fight is from a few locations. Volatile Concoction deals Raid wide damage when it expires from the tank and happens very often. Attempting to time your ramps to occur when one of these is expiring will be a large gain. Unstable Infusion is a heal absorb placed on the entire raid constantly throughout the encounter. As a result, using your ramps basically on cooldown will have huge value in this encounter as there is almost always something to heal. Ingest Black Blood happens 3 times a fight and is a large amount of damage for a short period. It is not, however, worth delaying cooldowns to specifically target Ingest Black Blood due to the general high damage during the entire encounter.
Note: Be sure when utilizing Ultimate Penitence on this fight to slightly delay your cast if you get assigned to break an egg as Ultimate Penitence will lift you over the egg and prevent you from breaking it. You must ramp slightly later so that you are casting Ultimate Penitence AFTER the egg has already broken.
What to Ramp for
Ramp for the first Ingest Black Blood and then mostly on cooldown for Volatile Concoction and Unstable Infusion damage. This fight is mostly near-constant damage.

Defensive Usage
There is nothing unique about this fight from a defensive perspective. Fade needs to be held for utilizing Phantasm to break the slow, so you are often left with just Desperate Prayer or Pain Suppression charges to utilize as a personal when needed.
Raid Frame Setup
Ensure you are tracking the following buffs/debuffs on whatever raid frames you are using so you can react accordingly during the encounter:

Tips for Nexus-Princess Ky'veza for Discipline Priest
Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.
Damage Pattern
The primary damage on this fight will come from 2 mechanics. Nether Rift does significant raid wide damage while active and the intermission mechanic, Starless Night, also does a good amount of damage. Targeting either of those mechanics for ramps will be solid. There is not much complexity damage pattern wise on this fight as it is almost entirely a movement/positioning encounter. Managing your movement and positioning properly will be the most important factor to success.
What to Ramp for
Nether Rift and Starless Night will be your primary ramp targets for this encounter.

Tips for The Silken Court for Discipline Priest
Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.
Damage Pattern
This fight is broken up into 3 phases with 2 intermissions between said phase. Each phase has a variety of different mechanics that deal significant damage. In phase 1, Venomous Rain occurs every so often dealing solid damage to a select number of players. Burrowed Eruption deals a large amount of damage as the boss prepares to charge across the room. This is a very good ramp target. As you transition out of Phase 1, you'll enter the first intermission where Entropic Barrage will be the primary damage source until the boss' absorb shield is broken.
Once into phase 2, Web Vortex and Stinging Burst become the primary sources of damage. Web Vortex is when the boss grips everyone across the room towards the boss and webs them together. This involves a large burst of damage when it occurs. As this involves a large amount of movement from both the pull and the movement afterwards to break your web, it is not an easy mechanic to target with a ramp unless you have access to a Spatial Paradox. The other primary mechanic in this phase is Stinging Burst which occurs whenever a debuff is dispelled. While this can be slightly annoying to time a ramp around due to the player controlled nature of the timing, it is still your best option in Phase 2.
Moving into the next intermission, Seismic Upheaval provides constant damage throughout the phase until the bosses absorb shield is broken. In Phase 3 of the fight, Unleashed Swarm is a large AoE channeled by the boss for a short duration. This is an incredible ramp target.
What to Ramp for
Burrowed Eruption, Entropic Barrage, Stinging Burst, Seismic Upheaval, and Unleashed Swarm are your primary ramp targets for this encounter.

Tips for Queen Ansurek for Discipline Priest
Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.
Damage Pattern
In Phase 1, Ansurek has a variety of damaging mechanics, but the Frothy Toxin damage will be the most dangerous. This is a large burst of damage shortly after jumping the Venom Nova. Silken Tomb can also be quite dangerous and a good Power Word: Barrier target as it expects the raid to stack up fairly tight. After leaving Phase 1, both the small intermission and the platform phase you'll be dealing with the Wrest mechanic as the Queen attempts to pull you into her or off the platform with her webs. Each time she does so, it deals a significant amount of damage and is a good target for your ramps. On the middle platform there will be a dispel mechanic called Gloom Blast. This deals a very large amount of damage on dispel and is by far the most dangerous part of the platform phase.
Once entering Phase 3, the primary damage is going to come from three mechanics, Gorge, Royal Condemnation, and Queen's Summons. Each of these results in a large amount of damage during a fairly high damage phase in general.
What to Ramp for
For P1, target ramping for the Frothy Toxin explosion. Plan to cast your Power Word: Radiance casts after you land from the Venom Nova jump.
During the Platform phase, you'll ramp for the Predation Threads and Gloom Blast. The exact timers for these depends on the group you are in as the boss alternates pulling each side.
In the final phase, your primary ramps will be focused on the Gorge casts, but mini/ Rapture ramps can be focused on Royal Condemnation or Queen's Summons as well.

To utilize the above example cooldowns in the game, you will need both the Method Raid Tools and WeakAuras addons. The note above is pasted into a personal note via Method Raid Tools and read out using the Kaze Weakaura. The Kaze Weakaura is set to warn you of a timer 8 seconds in advance by default. It is highly recommended to go into the custom settings of the WA and adjust the "warn duration" to 20 seconds.
Defensive Usage
There is nothing unique about this fight from a defensive perspective. Try to be utilizing Fade and Desperate Prayer as often as possible on any damage event. Players targeted by Abyssal Infusion in Phase 3 are good targets for Pain Suppression.
