Just going to throw this out there in case its a bug, or out of the ordinary. On our last several kills of Gore, since the most recent buff to spell damage for raid targets, every 12-15 seconds in our logs she is popping off her AE for 937. Prior logs from before the patch that changed spell damage for raid targets, Gore was casting her AE with 20-30 seconds between casts for 750dmg. Consistently since that patch, she is casting her AE more frequently, which coupled with the damage increase, really puts a strain on Druid and Shaman healed groups still in Kunark. I don't know if there is any merit to the pattern we are seeing in the logs, but I want to post it here in case it was indeed unintentional side effect.

Far as I know the AOE can be as little as 14 seconds apart. Gore has several spells she casts though so if she is casting a CHeal or a DD on the tank, for example, the AOE will be delayed at least until the casting is complete. This explains why on these above parses, most AOEs are spaced out more than 14 seconds apart. She can also chain cast spells which is why when she is in CHeal mode below 50%, you hardly ever see any AOEs until she runs low on mana. One mistake I see many make on Gore all the time is the pullers getting hit by too many spells on the pull or folks mana draining her. You want her to be casting as many spells as possible when engaging her to delay as many of those AOEs as possible though there is a big RNG factor in her casting in the first 50%.
Oh also one of those posts for the 750 DD is prior to PotM and one was after which explains why it hits harder now.
