Hello,

So from what I understand is that Princess huhuran casts a "Wyvern Sting" (ID: 26180) which does 3k damage when cleansed or abolished. By default this shows up to be cleansed. Is this intentional, or should it be in the default affliction filtering list like Jindo the Hexxer's curse?

Hi,

Do you have some link explaining this cleansing penalty? I could not find anything on wowhead.

The problem is that this debuff is quite generic, I cannot add a generic filter for it.

I checked our logs and our Tank got cleansed, this is the effect that it says gets applied when huhuran's Wyvern sting gets dispelled:
https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=26233/wyvern-sting

It hit for 3.6k.

As this debuf is not specific I cannot add it to the default filters. this would require a location based filtering mechanism... maybe a feature for later but if there is only one spell that requires that, it wouldn't be worth it.

Was adding it to the filters manually a good enough solution for you or was it troublesome? (trying to gauge the usability here)

I did add it to the filters manually, but I play a druid and it complicates things slightly. Abolish poison tries to cleanse something for 8 seconds and is the default ability that Decursive uses. If I were to cleanse something, and a player gets hit by a wyvern sting after, I might accidentally kill them. That made me personally decide to not cleanse at all with Decursive for that fight. 
I don't know how the other healers play, we encourage (but don't enforce) the use of Decursive. We strongly warn all healers to not cleanse anyone who's not either a healer or a tank and to top them off before doing so. Just manually cleansing and healing, without decursive, seems to work best for now. Paladins don't have this issue of course, adding to the filter might work for them.

There is a low level quest (which I skipped) that gives an instant poison cleanse without the lingering buff. It gets replaced by abolish during leveling, but might be worth using manually in this fight. Just putting that out there. 

Normally you should be able to re-add this spell (the one that doesn't linger) to your custom spells by checking the "allow macro editing" checkbox beneath the edit box where you add the spell, then Decursive will use it instead of the default one.

True, the issue is mostly that at the time of writing I hadn't done the quest for that ability yet.

Also I'd like to clarify: 26233 (damage) always gets applied immediately when 26180 (Wyvern sting, sleeps target) gets dispelled, no exceptions. So unless 26180 gets filtered, decursive might blow someone up if the user is an uninformed dispeller. I can generally customize decursive if I want to (I filter 26180 manually), or make do for that specific fight by manually dispelling.

I don't know if this applies for others though, so I just wanted to bring this unique scenario to your attention. I'll leave it to you whether or not adding that ability to the default filter list (like "delusions of Jin'do") is the right solution.
