After oneshotting the first three bosses, and having some tries on the last boss yesterday, I came back with a new strategy today, and killed Gal'Darah with my all-shaman team at lvl 75.

No more wipes on him with my new strategy :D
Even killed him without any deaths on one of my subsequent kills.

My new improved strategy from the traditional "drop 2-3 earth ele's and rest fire ele totems" was to drop 3 earth eles for the pull,
and after a while into the fight, when the ele's are either dead, or i know he's at least done with his first whirlwind and about to go rhino mode, I drop the other two earth ele's.

Gundrak on farm at lvl 75 without a tank :D
hit 76 a few clears later :) and then spent the rest of the day doing the "school of hard knocks" achievement on all my shamans for the children's week event. Now I just gotta have them kill last boss in UP...


The only other instances I've done in northrend on them before were:
Cleared UK up to last boss at lvl 70 (had numerous tries, but couldn't get last boss down at that level)
Killed the mage chick boss in Nexus several times at lvl 70 for christmas hats.
Farmed first boss in Drak'Tharon Keep trying to get pants, started killing him at lvl 73, had some tries on the second boss too, but he would either reset on my first death, or just run me oom and kill me.

Another note about Gundrak is that all the bosses can drop a nice blue each for ele shaman, and the snakes in half the instance give lots of lovely leather ^^

HI, Sorry but i don't have the answer to your question :(
I do however have a question of my own, which interface/group/cast bars addon do you use?
Thanks

Looks like Pitbull for unit frames.

My current unit frames are Pitbull.
Action bars and cast bar is Macaroon.
Cooldowns etc on the right is DoTimers.
Buffs are from CtMod.
Minimap addon is Squeenix.
Quest tracking as shown is by QuestsFu.
Little bar above the quests tracker is MoneyProgress showing my progress in money to a set amount (i set it to 5000g to track progress in saving for epic flyers), helps me see on the small windows approx how much money my alts have.
Minimap buttons on the right side of the screen are by Minimap Button Frame (MBF) (note that in this pic, the macaroon button is down by the minimap while normally it is in the empty slot by the rest of the minimap buttons, not sure why its down there on the pic).
Totemtimers is seen above my action bar.
Top of the screen and the very bottom you can see FuBar with the various plugins for it that I have running.
The bars above the FuBar at the bottom are the xp/rep bars from Macaroon (on my lvl 80 I dont need to track xp, so I track multiple reputations instead).
And of course you see Jamba to the left of the minimap.

I think that would be all the addons anyone could be wondering about.

Hey, what's the name of the mod that's showing the "squiggly" designs behind your minimap & behind Jamba? The mod that outlines your entire screen with the dark grey pattern...

Looks nice!

Question, why do you have Wrath Totem on all 5 toons?

Totem of Wrath Glyph

Ahhh, I see. Forgive me, I have not looked into the new Glyphs on all Classes, I guess I missed this one.

I'm actually not using that glyph, I just have the same talents on all shamans for simplicity, and so I can do instances with any combination of them without needing to respec.
