Well, it seems Tomb of Sargeras is much closer than perhaps anticipated (or hoped for by the top guilds) as Mythic testing has not only started, but we're getting ALL Mythic bosses tested this week (aside from Kil'jaeden, of course, as final bosses generally don't get tested on the PTR on Mythic). In any case you can be sure everyone who's even half-way thinking about joining the progress race in ToS will be there this Thursday, Friday and Monday, as they can't afford to skip this part of the testing.
On Thursday, Friday, and Monday, March 2-6, we will be conducting raid testing of Tomb of Sargeras bosses on MYTHIC difficulty
Remember that Mythic difficulty requires 20 players..

As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a PTR environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the bosses being tested, or cancel a test entirely, due to bugs, server hardware issues, etc. Keep an eye on this forum for the latest information, and thank you in advance for testing and providing feedback.
Q: How do I get into the raid zone?
A: In Dalaran, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind, you may speak to Nexus-Lord Donjon Rade Sr. in order to teleport into the raid zone while it is open for testing. (The option to teleport into a zone will not be available when the zone is not open for testing.)
Q: What character should I use to test the raid?
A: Whichever you prefer. We will be scaling players' effective level to 110 for raid testing, and their item level to an appropriate threshold for the encounter(s) being tested. For 7.2 raid testing, we'll be granting players all the new 7.2 artifact traits IF players have done the quest to reveal those new traits. Complete the Broken Shore intro experience in order to access this quest.
Q: How long does testing last?
A: The primary purpose of testing is to give us the information we need to balance the encounters, evaluate how mechanics are playing out in practice, and identify bugs. Once we're satisfied that we've received that information for a given boss, we'll be shutting down testing. Usually this takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, but there are no guarantees.
