What were the wipes that caused it to take so long and did you kill Vulak in his room?

First major wipe during Eashen was due to people running out of the safe area we were in which trained the raid. Running around and not dying in place extended the danger of the train all throughout the hub.
Second major wipe I'm not entirely sure. Aary was going well but we somehow agroed additional mobs that started down the ramp and eventually went after casters. Low health agro caused Aary to run around the corner and AOE the clerics. Coupled with the hatchlings and general chaos from being oom we managed to get Aaryonar down but at a great cost - pretty much a total wipe. We had a hell of a time getting people rezzed back up at first but with some instruction we moved everyone into Eashen's room and got situated and were then stable from there on out.
Lord Koi`Doken and Lady Mirenilla went haywire because push caused problems with positioning (since our mobs are not rooted). This caused the AOEs to become a lot more harmful than they should've been since clerics were getting hit. It's amazing how much push a huge raid can produce unintentionally or otherwise.
The rest of the time (except for Vulak) weren't full wipes but people eating enrage, as someone pointed out. Since this was an open raid not everyone had/used agro clickies etc to tank. Everything would go well and agro was solid until that pivotal moment and a mob would turn with people still auto attacking. Perhaps people were trying to save faction, or maybe they just got caught off guard. Dunno.
"Move up" should have been made clearer as a good portion of the raid wasn't sure where to go a couple of times, so for today's raid we'll be more clear on instruction. I do want to point out that throughout this event quite a few people were AFK, so the 170-220ish numbers we got are a bit inflated. This also caused us to have some stragglers around NToV.
Vulak. Vulak Vulak Vulak..... No, we did not kill Vulak in his room. The first attempt caused a massive desync and consequent wipe. By the time we got everyone up again we would gain agro on a nearby mob and it caused a couple more wipes on the freshly rezzed. At this point we decided to just get the mob down and try to get as many corpses summoned because it was going to become quite costly to keep buffing everyone up. Plus it was late. If there is a next time I would absolutely love to kill Vulak in his room.
