How many ret pallies does it take to change a light bulb?
In a raid with 20 frost mages, 10 enhancement shamans, 7 resto shamans, 3 unholy dks, popping all cool downs (mirror image, water elemental, spirit wolves, elemental totem, army of the dead, ghoul, gargoyle) how many total players/pets will there be?
Edit: With mirror image glyphs all around

Do all the mages have the mirror image glyph?

2?
Incorrect. Proper response: "NOT ONE BUT TWO!"

The first forum game that belongs in WoW general, NOT in randomness.
If I decide to roll a defiler in EQ2 instead of playing a shaman in WoW, how much more fun will I have?

You'll be kicked out before you can even start shredding.
An average 10-man Raid group of 2 tanks, 2 healers and 6 DPS is pulling 14500DPS on Patchwerk, Normal mode.
Will they make the enrage timer?

patch health = 4,322,950.
Patch timer: 6 minutes or 360 seconds.
If 14.5k is DPS
14,500 * 360 = 5,220,000.
So yes.
If you have 20,000 mana, and a Lightning Bolt cost 1000 mana, BUT you had 500 MP5, how many times could you spam lightning bolt before you run out of mana?

Lightning Bolt has a 2 second cast time, right? Let's make a function of the time. Both mp5 and mana spent depend linearly on time:
mp5 contribution = (t/5) * 500 = 100 * t
mps contribution (mana cost / cast time) = - (t/2) * 1000 = - 500 * t
Negative because cost implies subtraction
So then:
f(t) = initial value + mp5 contribution + mps contribution =
=20000 + 100 * t - 500 * t =
= 20000 - 400 *T
Let's see for what value of time it reaches zero
20000 - 400t = 0
400t = 20000
t = 20000 / 400 = 50
The shammy in question would be able to spam it 50 / 2 = 25 times and would go completely OOM precisely on the 25th cast.
There we go. Yes, I know I'm beyond saving. No, I don't really think like that. I took extra effort to add in all the bloody explanations.

Next problem:
-----------------------
Boss X casts 10 curses on the raid which would kill the raid in 10 seconds if not removed. The only ones you have that can dispel them are three mages. If the global cooldown is a constant 1.5 seconds, how much time can the mages slack at most before dispelling for the raid not to die in a very spectacular fashion, involving lots of MINUS DKP.
