Turnstike able to block which AoEs?

In particular, I am curious about which AoEs Turnstrike blocks with Pentaclypse/Utaclypse and Mynzak. These are new in progression for me and I don't want to test it out during raid so then get yelled at for not jousting when it does not work. LOL.

Figure be a nice reference for the new dirges in progression. Post what ya know. Don't remember offhand the other AoE names, that Turnstike can block, so will be posting again here once I know after a few raiding nights.

There aren't many you can't turnstrike this expansion but the ones that you can't (forgive me for not being able to remember all the names, currently at work so can't check):

Tombs:
Xebnok - Overwhelming Intimidation

Palace:
Switchmaster - Elemental that gives you the vision (not the piss version)
Abstaltious - the noxious + mit debuff
Penta/Ultra - the noxious + mit debuff

Zarrakon - his noxious aoe

Gozak - the noxious + mit debuff

Everything else should be turnstrikable.

If you are worried about messing up by not jousting you can get in, turnstrike then joust out to a safe distance and see if it hits then - most aoes the expansion have less damage the further from the mob you are so you will still be taking a little bit of damage and can check your logs for it.

Lints lists looks right to me. You also cant Turnstrike the group-wide magic KB/dmg spell that Gynok does but its not a true AE anyways.

Also, remember that if your mob is orange and you don't have much slash, your turnstrike could just not hit, which happened to me from time to time on grush (lets face it, with a fight that long, there's bound to be a time you get hit by the AE regardless of your DPS and skill)

I think all heroics AE's can be turnstriked, but a lot of them can be interrupted too (like varsoons curse AE).
