Obviously we raided without gear. Apart from me. It improved some peoples DPS actually

In all seriousness, there's not much we did differently. That fight requires some feeling with it. You can't decide on a certain spot to tank him or a certain spot to put the iceblocks. It's rather a constantly changing situation. So we mostly decided on having the iceblock first on the right side, then on the left side, etc, etc. Just keep going. Also, there's no need to put them too far away from each other, though that did happen due to the chaotic fight a few times.
Like I said, the fight is pretty chaotic. All you can do is put down some baselines for where the iceblocks need to be and hope that the players are aware of their surroundings during that last phase. That awareness is pretty key to success here.
