You're doing something wrong then. You'll get partials at 200 FR against Naggy just fine, but keep in mind it won't happen often because Naggy is level 55 and the max level is 50. You don't need pets at all to kill Naggy, he can be done with less than 3 groups even if you don't dodge the ae's (and if you wall the ae's then it's even easier - just time it so that your melees go behind the wall before he casts lava breath and you'll only need to focus your heals on the main tank).
I'm talking from personal experience, I have yet to seen a partial on a Vox/Naggy here on red that makes it worth stacking resists instead of hp or worth sending in melee (without wall hoppin). Fear seems to also have a decent chance to stick even at 330MR, again you have to peel instead of resist, not as it used to be in live.

The resists on the raid encounter do not match classic, and more importantly encourage the use of pets due to easier charming here than classic. I mean its fine if this is the intended effect, but somehow I think the resist values are encouraging non-classic approaches to raid mobs. Is this what we want? or do we want dragons to be raided with the right numbers with resists, instead of the now encouraged 4x rooted pets brought up from the backdoor?

I think you've been playing p99 too long and have forgotten what live used to be like. There are differences, and they encourage certain types of approaches.


On Pvp resists, I think they are fine as they are now, but fix the mage bolt and reintroduce dual line of sight requirement for casting.
