Has anyone tried to single tank this as a Dk?

We are a very melee heavy group and it has caused issues with getting volcanoes down fast enough we are thinking of adding one more melee dps (switching a tank) but not sure if it actually makes the healing more of a challenge since there is more AOE hitting more people.
I think single-tanking Lord Jaraxxus as a DK would be extraordinarily fun. You get to do your own interrupts for Fel Fireball (or AMS), and holding aggro on the Mistress shouldn't be hard at all. By the time the first portal spawns, your DPS will be off Jaraxxus so your threat on him will not be an issue at all. You can focus your target on the Mistress, and I assure you Jaraxxus will not be pulled off you unless quite a few DPS are still on him, when they should be on the Mistress. The Infernals may present a slight problem from their aggro reset after Fel Inferno, but with 6 DPS, you should be getting 2 Infernals everytime, maybe 3 max. Just assign/mark one for the DPS to take down first so you can focus more of your threat on that one for the time being. If you are not going to single-tank it, then the Jaraxxus tank should help DPS the portal/volcano as well - it makes a notable difference.

As for survivability, it shouldn't be much of an issue. Let's say you have a Paladin healer, who was healing both you and the other tank before. Now, that Paladin will be concentrating on your full-time so you should be okay. Raid healing is still the same - nothing changes with that. I am actually very eager to try this strategy as it sounds both fun, and easier.

Funny thing about ToGC10 is the changing of raid composition for different fights. For Jaraxxus, you can have a tank go DPS. For Anub'arak, it becomes easier to have 2 healers provided they will be able to handle 2-healing it (notably Phase 3).

It would actually be easier for a holy paladin to heal two targets than one target at 2x damage, due to beacon of light. However, Jaraxxus' melee damage is fairly trivial. I would not be surprised if the encounter could be solo-tanked easily.

Can anyone confirm that holy paladins can use aura mastery with concentration aura to remove the Mistress’ Kiss debuff, and give the raid 10 sec immunity.

Tryed it in tonights raid, and it seems to work. Got the debuff used aura mastery before casting any other spells, and i did not get the spell lock, i've try to use aura mastery after getting the spell lock but that has no effect.

Tryed it again today in 10 man hc, it works. The aura makes you immune to the spell lock, but it will not remove it if it's allready running.

Yeah, we just got the fight down with one dk tank tonight.

It's funny, we tried it with two tanks and wiped a few times. (We were a little melee heavy on our dps). Then we had our pally tank switch to his mage, and boom. We got a one-shot, no problem.

So not only is it doable on 10man with one dk tank, you might even find it easier.

Got it last night and the biggest issue is the tanks threat. Thats a problem for a different thread. On all spawns portal/volcano we had all dps switch kept everything under control. We also didn't tank the internals at all just smashed them.

The better your tank is the easier this fight becomes.
