Similarly, has anyone had an issue where Malygos is still attacking/breathing on the raid while he is in the air during Phase 2? My guild actually had some trouble with Malygos last night because he was destroying people with Breath when he took off to begin his Phase 2 intro speech and while were fighting the Nexus Lords he would periodically shoot breath at the raid.

I experienced this (along with many other bugs) last night with Malygos.
There is no visual indication that Malygos has changed direction, the tank still has threat, but "No one" (according to the combat log) hits the raid with an Arcane Breath.
@Seraphao: I did not experience those issues, but many others have. Do a search in this forum for 'malygos' and you will see many problems with him after 3.0.8 you may not have even noticed.
These include healing spells healing for 0 during Vortexes (not just the known CoH issue), Anti-Magic zones not mitigating damage in phase 2, and much more.

I'm going to need screenshots.

Blizzard QA Good morning, on this day we become legendary.
I'll try to convince my guild to go again Thursday. Right now everyone wants to wait until after a patch. If the CoH/Vortex issue gets fixed promptly I should have more luck. ;P
I'll keep in mind from now on that screenshots are much more useful for you than anecdotes.
This appears to be Malygos turning to do his Arcane Storm, and his breath happening to be timed to go off at the same time he turns.
The fight needs to be altered so that Malygos does not target or turn when using Arcane Storm.
All I've learned from this game is that if the fate of the world depends on 25 random people clicking on cubes at the same time, we're pretty much hosed.
The breath during Arcane Storm bug doesn't look like anything, its just all the sudden 90% of the raid is dead and recount tallies it as "No One" doing the breath damage. Just looks like he is continuing to beat on the tank, and the moment Arcane Storm fires, everyone gets insta-owned without any movement from the boss or breath animation. Prior to 3.0.8 he would actually turn to face the raid when he arcane stormed, and on occasion would breathe on the raid to the same end, though now there's just no turning animation it seems.
As far as Malygos attacking the air at the start of Phase 2 and during Phase 2, again there is no animation of him doing a breath attack, it's just again suddenly anyone in the direction malygos is facing (while in the air, mind you) gets one-shotted. Recount shows the same error damage intake message of the Arcane Breath damage being caused by "No One".
Both of these bugs occurred to my raid group last night multiple times, with the Phase 2 one causing us to wipe on more than one occasion as sometimes Malygos was facing where he placed the Anti-Magic Zone and he would breath as we were running to it.
I'll try to get a screenshot of it this week when it happens, though it will likely just be of a mostly dead group standing at the back of Malygos - is that what you have in mind? Or a mostly dead group while he is in the air. I could take screenshots of the recount window, though just that window alone can't prove when the actual breath damage occured, just that it did occur.
Ideas on what exact the screenshot should have that would help?
We had the same problem last night and what we discovered is that the lock and hunter pets are getting hit with arcane breath and the debuff that the arcane breath leave on the pets were killing the raid and when they dismissed all pets we 1 shotted him so blizzard plz check it out cause out BM hunter are sad panda's.
Don't regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.
You want SS? I'll have a Fraps up of it later on tonight after my raid (about to do Naxx at the moment since Malygos is bugged), but I have to say on a lighter note ...
Malygos seems to have a new skill: Arcane Fart
Kel: "I did it! I did it! I'm sorry, man!
I did it! It was an accident! I didn't mean it!
I ... dropped the train ... in the Raid!"

Exact same thing happened to us tonight. Breaths were being very weird and hitting people who were obviously ranged and behind Malygos. I found stuff like this in our combat log:

That's three ranged (and a melee) getting hit by "nil" after a vortex. After much frustration we did an attempt without pets and appeared to be fine.
FEIGN DEATH IS ALSO STILL BROKEN AND DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
edit: can't count
I don't have screenshots of it, but I have in fact visually witnessed pets exploding from the Arcane Breath debuff, along with the corresponding 'nil Arcane Breath hits...' combat log entry.
Somehow hunter's gets unreal high thread when pet is out, haven't tested with other classes who got pets, but did like 3 times targeted pets while in first phase... so propobly problem is with pets
