Watch for: 1 spells to interrupt, 1 effects to dispel and 6 spells to avoid, then every spell of the fight, role by role.
Spells to interrupt
The Dungeon Journal marks these spells as interruptible. An interrupt stops them, as does a control effect that breaks the cast: stun, silence, fear.

Effects to dispel
These effects come off with a dispel of the right type, or are soothed when the enemy enrages. The type tells which classes can handle it.

Avoidable damage
Blizzard classifies these spells as "avoidable" in its own damage meter: ground effects, frontals, leaps. Every hit counts, the first one included, and Wipe to Win holds no other against you. How they're counted.
