I've done it a few times and it isn't too tough...on regular anyways. The idea of doing it on heroic with less than 3 CC scares me.

The only real problems I have are handling the third boss, the priestess. One shotted it in a full guild run...but it was sloppy. And I don't like sloppy kills. In a pug it was dang near impossible.

My question is this, tanking her and X number of her adds seems very tough for me with all the stuns/traps/whatever her cronies do...so, how do you handle this fight?

Don't tank her. Have a rogue tank her, CC Mortal Strike Warrior, and make sure you have a decent healer.

Third boss can be cc'd, if needed.

They are untankable- they run around like maniacs and are taunt immune.
In heroic- we ran with 2 CC's. You need to CC the warrior-hits clothies for a lot, stuns-fears- also if you have the rogue, he needs to be CC also- does a lot of nasty stuff.

I will be running this a lot since I know for a fact the tanking trinket will never drop for me.

The heroic is not much more difficult than the normal really, Vexallus gets alot tougher, but the other bosses are still a joke.

And pretty much every melee trash can be mc'ed, which makes it silly easy to do trash.

This sounds like that summoned boss in the arena in BRD for the tier .5 questline. I always liked that fight!

I got extremely luck on my first run and scored [Nightstrike] off the 3rd Boss encounter. It was a one-shot ordeal, and I barely had to do anything since everything's taunt immune. Just put on your best DPS gear and pretend you're Fury for 5 mins. Just make sure you maintain a hold on the MS Warrior (Naga) if CC isn't available for him, cause he will destroy clothies. The hunter causes problems too... I was Ice Trap'd for 10 secs near the end of the fight... thankfully the "pug" I hooked up with was actually a guild LF Tank, so they brought the T5/6 ferocity down upon them, making this a very easy first-time SPlat5

...however, contrary to the instruction I received from the supposed pro-raiders, I recommend taking out the Healers first, and taking all the physical melee classes as long as possible (as in "last to kill"), since we tanks can soak that sh*t up all day. (They had insisted on killing the Warlocks/Magisters first, then the Physicians.)

I have my rogue tank the physician while we take the rest out.

I healed it and we got through. Aggro control was spotty and the 2 mages and shadow priest died a few times each. The bear tank did alright. 3 boss sucked. 2nd boss sucked because all the DPS tried to ignore the flares and nuke. He died but so did they. 1st boss is like a trash mob. We didn't touch the crystals, just nuked him......but 2 well geared fire mages and a shadow priest....

Nice huntard epic BP from Kael....but no one above leather in the group, lol.

What we did last night, was (since the only CC we had were two hunter traps), this:

Pull them back into the courtyard, and trapped two as they came through. Had our priest blow a fear, as we nuked the Priestess down, and then turned to the Warrior add. When the mobs came back, I blew my Int. Shout, and continued nuking. We also had our Druid go bear and hang near the priest in case the warrior went at her, and overall did it. But, coming up with that strategy for us, took 6 tries ><

We had the Shaman, Rogue, Warrior, and Hunter adds. Of all the ones to get when we had no mage for sheeping, and we get that joke of a make-up.
