You're missing the entire point of what I said. Sure you can run a parser and know when the next bash is coming. But what if you need need to cast a torpor or turgur's close to the next bash? Simply knowing the bash is coming doesn't help you at all. You can avoid casting an important spell but that doesn't help you, that just means that bash shut you down from casting an important spell that you needed to refresh. If you're an ogre, you can just ignore the bash and cast the important spells when you actually need to. Like I mentioned before, this could be the difference between winning and losing high-difficulty solo fights.

Since you seem to be struggling, I'll give you some tips.
1) You don't need a parser... Just have all mob hits on you go to one window and watch it for bashes. When mob is unslowed, you have 8 seconds. When mob is slowed, you have 32 seconds. I'm not real familiar with the WW dragons, but I assume most are slowable if shamans are soloing them. This makes the bash problem rather trivial.
2) You know when you'll need to land torpor. Assuming you want to keep it rolling 24x7, you have a 6 second window in which to cast and get the full benefit of every torpor. Knowing when in that 6 second window you need to cast depends on the bash timer.
3) Even ogres can run into problems with slow resists. That's why you begin recasting slow well before you need it to land. It's easier to do than torpor, since it's only 3 seconds of cast time. And if you're casting this spell, it means the mob is slowable, which means a 32 second bash window. If you can't figure out how to land a slow between bashes at this point, you might want to go back to Farmville.
