I didnt find a topic about these, so i thought i could post some tips we used to down them...
The Twin Valkyrs are a twin boss with shared health. That means damaging one of them will damage the other one too.
When they are tanked next to each other their attack speed rapidly rises, so it is necessary to have two tanks for this fight and tank them apart frome each other.
There are four portals in the arena. Two are black, two are white. They buff you with dark/light essence. The people with light essence should be damaging the dark valkyr, and the people with dark essence should be attacking the light one. All the people in the raid should have an essence assigned to them. It is good to divide the raid into two even groups before the pull.
There are gonna be orbs floating around. The orbs are black and white. People with dark essence can collect dark orbs, and people with light essence can collect the white orbs. By doing so they get a stacking "debuff". The debuff (when stacked up to 100) increases damage done to enemies of the opposite element. (collecting light orbs -> more damage against the dark valkyr)
Everyone can consume orbs of any color, but its better to avoid the orbs of the other color, and only pick up yours. You will be gimping the other group if you take their orbs.
During the fight, one of the Valkyr will start to cast/channel a "vortex" ability. You will have to find out which one does it, and the entire raid should switch to her element to avoid the AoE. After the AoE ends, the raid sets their essences to the assigned defaults and goes on nuking the duo.
Also from time to time, one of the Valkyr will start to cast a "Twins Pact". This ability heals both the Valkyrs a lot. The Valkyr which casts this is protected by a barrier that absorbs all damage taken. The players need to switch to the valkyrie that has a shield on her, and burn the shield asap. As soon as the shield is penetrated by sufficient damage, the valkyr gets hit, and the cast stops.
So all in all the only things you need to do are:
Get your essence.
Collect orbs of your color.
Focus on a shielded Valkyr and nuke her till she stops casting.
Watch out for Vortex and switch essence if you do not have the right one.
Downed these on the second attempt in 10 men, we have 25 scheduled for tommorow.

Simply breaking the shield during Twins' Pact isn't enough to stop the cast; once the shield is down, the cast has to be interrupted.

Terribly terribly easy set of bosses, almost frustratingly easy once they are dead. I just hope Anub'arak isn't as easy as the ptr showed him to be.

If noone mentioned this before, the essence portals have a set layout:
boss-entrance
D L
L D
D = Dark, L = Light. It'll always be like that.
Staying near the portal with the opposite of your current color makes it even easier, so that you can easily switch if needed.

Not much of a buff IMHO... The fight will still be easysauce, we just have to run to portals more often...
