We are progging M Soul Hunters and we nearly got the kill several times last night but I just feel so squishy and like I'm playing like ass.
Any critique is welcome, be as brutal as ya want I just don't want to feel this garbage about this boss next week.
I mean I'm barely hanging on in eye beam it feels and getting trounced in DPS by B DK so I am playing like ass but not sure specifically how.

you are getting destroyed by eye beam because you are eating it in battle stance and not even spell reflecting. battle stance is for parsing only, defensive stance is for prog. i still sit in dstance 100% of the time on reclears of this fight because the fight design is irritating enough for healers already.
you are walling eye beam, which is good, but the other half of your walls feel random. there are only two damage events on this fight that are scary as a prot war: eye beam and the initial hit of felblade. you get just enough wall charges that you can cover both of those events every time so you should be doing so
your shield block uptime should be 10%+ higher. your blocked hits are way lower than your shield block uptime meaning you are probably letting the boss whack you in the back while you walk across the room, so stop that.

^ he caught the spell reflect and wall, the other thing I noticed is you are not using impending victory intelligently here
You use it 4 times the entire fight

your boss movement is also really slow. as soon as adarus starts saying "to ground... like a beast" and those blue circles appear you should be moving to his destination. by leaving late you are creating extended periods where the bosses are not grouped up and hurting your raids' dps

You also fail to defensive when folks are slow to pick up your fractures
Your damage being lower is also a partial byproduct of your low shield block uptime
72% is very low

you are also playing really slow for your haste amount. you are at 65 cpm and realistically you should be around 80+.

This - this is your primary loss of dps.
You are not using shield slam nearly enough, which leads to less blast procs, which leads to less tier procs, which leads to less damage
It’s all a feedback loop and if you are failing to press the button it will cascade badly
You’re cpm is low in general but shield slam should be 16-18 here and you’re at 12
That’s a very large amount of damage lost both through rage gen and procs

should prob also drop either enduring alacrity or BSV for massacre. BSV isn't that good for the damage profile of this fight except for eye beam, but you should never go low enough during eye beam to trigger it because eye beam is the main damage event you are planning all your defensive usage around. the other scary stuff on this fight like the initial felblade hit or getting hunted twice are either one big hit or one shots so BSV wouldn't help anyway. meanwhile, massacre is REALLY good on this fight because your average execute cast on 3 targets is close to 8 mil damage so a large part of maximizing damage here is getting as many execute presses as possible.
