Whether you can get more targets in on the burst 5 breath weapon by moving around will depend on the circumstances. This will also affect Infectious Petrification as its centered target is the player that fails the save rather than the Grey Dragon, so a spread out party won't suffer as badly from the repetrification.Second, petrification grants resist 20 to all damage, which should also work against ongoing damage. This makes Tail Lash significantly less useful, and will require above average rolls from Claw to do any initial damage as well. You'd have to wait for a breath weapon recharge to do any meaningful amounts of damage to petrified targets, and even that isn't guaranteed if you get some bad rolls.Third, Infectious Petrification's wording seems kind of ambiguous. Does the opportunity to use it trigger when A) a petrified player fails the saving throw to become unpetrified, or B) when an immobilized player fails a saving throw and becomes petrified again due to the aftereffects of Infectious Petrification/Stone's Embrace? Given the wording as is, the latter seems more likely, and that grants at least one character that unpetrifies their turn, unless you successfully recharge Stone's Embrace and choose to use it.</blockquote>
