Mythic+ Tips
Use 
Void Surge and 
Sigil of Misery to interrupt casts and crowd-control groups of enemies.
You can use 
Shift to gather void shards more efficiently and quickly. Try to use this ability as often as possible, since the number of shards you collect directly affects the amount of damage you deal.
Darkness grants the group full immunity to incoming damage (for a group of 5 players). Be sure to use this ability during powerful mob or boss abilities aimed at group members. It also lets you skip some boss mechanics in dungeons, but this requires coordinated effort from all players.
