Fire Boss Grand amabassador Flamelash:
Don't stand in the fire.
Spawns fire adds - They give the boss the buff Burning Spirit (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=14744), which buffs his damage and allows him to do an AOE fire nova. Stacks 50 times.
Water Boss Kai'ju Gahz'rilla:
Iceblocks a party member (dispellable)
Ice breath on tank, face away from party
Throws people in the air, stand in water to avoid taking damage
Ice blocks himself once and returns to full health
Earth Boss Crown Princess Theradras:
AOE Farts, Melee beware.
Throws you in the air.
Fears, use tremor totem.
Throws a rock that interupts spellcasting.
Air Boss Prince Sarsarun:
AOE Stun - 3 seconds
Throws people in the air with a levitate
Avoid tornadoes
Looks like they're pretty easy.
Every boss also seem to have his own quest in Stormwind @ king Wryn / Thunderbluff @ Arch druid Hamuul Runetotem.

I assume they give Justice points also.
The loot is meh. and it seems like I can only queue for it after the main city is defended.

Just follow your tank, hit, run and chain heal.

Just a note for pally teams:
For Gahzrilla, put Word of Glory in your DPS macro instead of Templar's Gayness or Divine Squabble abilities.
Use Seal of Insight.
Eat the knockbacks and stay out of the water.
Flash of light on the tank when he gets punted or blocked as needed.
Smash DPS button.
???
PROFIT!!!
[edit] Oh, and watch your alt windows in case one of 'em gets punted back out of range.
It r uh hard fight, neh?

Ran Flamelash and Sarsarun. Appears you can do one from Stormwind and Ironforge. Will try to get the other two shortly.
Flamelash ate my lunch, I stood in the fire. Move your team around, easy.
With Sarsarun I stood in the tornadoes and the healed through getting launched in the air. Did Chain Heal and Prayer of Healing a few times to top off from losing half health when my group landed.
Received two melee dps items, a neck and cloak.
Had some help with Magni on one and Varian on the other.

So with my under geared 4 melee + a healer alt grp I'm able to do them all... Nothing really special cept the fire guy keep moving. They drop 251 loot and you can chain run them :P

I "duoed" Flamelash after he exploded my DPS {note to self, READ strats, then KILL} and left just my tank and healer up. If you read up on them first, they should be easy enough for any team.

They aren't really impressive tbh lol. 3 Tank and Spanks and 1 Kite and stay out of the fires.

I did others except Earth Boss Crown Princess Theradras with my melee mixed team. She pwned me hard with that AOE and throwing me into the air. Probably need to try more. But since time is limited, I was so busy farming other bosses. How is the loot table, any of them share the same loot table. So I can farm the other boss instead of her.

Yes the loot table is shared among all 4.

The kills are ugly, the UI is screwed up (tooltip covering half my team's healthbars), the editing is lacking, but here it is... all 4 kills with the Ugly Guys:

I had trouble with the water boss, lol wtf. Fire was easy once I figured out not to stand in the fire lol. Earth, eh, got it, but probably could do it better. Didn't get to wind. So I guess nothing special to getting all 4 other than the quest and just to do it? So I could chain run fire guy for the lootZ since they all the same.

The princess took me 3 tries to get down, but she's easy.
Place yer toons against the right wall, under the water fall. That way, when she knocks them back, she won't move them far. (I'm 4 shammy + pally, btw). Keep running around her, keep moving, cause the spike into the air is almost insta-quick.
Flamelash was 3 tries as well. IMPORTANT NOTE: When you're learning this fight, kill the adds first. If you res or port back, the adds will be sitting, waiting for you.
Flame lash, I spread out to start and just nudge the toons forward when the flame hits. You'll see a spell effect seconds before the fire erupts under their feet, keep an eye out for it cause it ticks HARD!. The ceiling in that room SUCKS, so scrolling the camera out is hard, thus seeing your team gets tricky.
Looking forward to the other two bosses. Glad I suck at this game, cause I found them exciting! Haha.

Team: Ranged DPS + tank + Healer
Princess:
- moved team to the middle -> spikes throw team away like @ Ahune
- pulled her to the wall
- tank & spank, with Priest doing PoH spam
- one wipe for learning, just went in and did it. -> EPICS :)
Fire Salamander:
- Engage with tank and keep tank there.
- Have a GOOD EYE on your team and MOVE out of FIRE
- Priest doing PoH spam
- one wipe for learning, just went in and did it. -> EPICS :)
(After the first wipe the adds move away, and you can pull them independent of the boss.)

i done 3/4 the 4the has not showed up as its "random" what 2 bossess are picked??
Hm, I am finding Ghaz'rilla really difficult: he does NOT focus on my tank despite my having highest threat, using taunts, etc. Am I missing something obvious?

My first try was Flamelash and died horribly to the fire.
Immediately tried Princess next and got her after 4 tries.
Managed to get Gahz (3 headed Lizard) on the 6th try last night.
Going for a different one tonight now that I see a bit more into it.
Considering my lack of macro creation, (Focus tank, assist focus, Follow tank, follow off, inline follow, then tricks and misdirect macors are all I have total.) the diversity of the characters, and the lack of proper gear gem and enchants, overall I am pretty pleased with my face rolling results.
(Park and spark strategy)
Yeah it takes me more time to figure out a strat that actually works with this set up but I guess that's the whole fun of it for me. (i.e. can't wait for a new computer that has something other than AGP slots.)

So far did the Princess (earth) and salamander (fire).
Princess is quite easy. Done a few times to get the shield. Only thing that really bugged me was the spike which puts everyone out of range of heal but when I spread a bit every member I did fine. Fear was bothersome but she didn't use that much for some reason. No wipes on her.
The salamander. I never bothered killing the adds. Only one wipe for me because of the "Get out of fire" screwup. For some reason if I let the tank get aggro for a few seconds before the dps go nuts, he only puts the debuff to the tank, and never to others. Of the 15 times I killed him he only did once put the debuff to one of my dpsers because she over aggrod.
Will try this weekend the other 2.
Group Config: Pala tank, Arcane Mage x 2, Disc Priest, Ele shaman. Gear is all badge loot with some PVP weapons.

I didn't find all of these fights "easy" but then I don't have uber gear, and I haven't been boxing all expansion, and my skills are not anywhere near many that frequent this site :).
So thought I would post to give hope to the lower tier boxers as so many of the posts were "these were so easy I could barely be bothered to even type out that I killed them" hehe
Flame fellow I thought was the easiest, Wiped once as even though I knew "fire bad" I was too slow on my movement. I did see some folks kiting the boss around which I guess might make him go uber less often? once I focused on moving quickly I was able to kill him second try but was out of mana on healer (because I'm still too slow moving out of fire it would seem).
Princess: Wiped on here a few times(4 I think), mostly because my team would get spread out and I would be slow to realize it, and folks would get out of healing range. The tip one person mentioned of placing team near water fall worked pretty well,
Earth elemental: This one I found the toughest, took 4 tries to get and on last fight I was down to 2 folks at the end. It seemed he would spend most of the time targeting my team, and while I would round them up as they moved away, eventually they got spread out, out of healing. Plus when the team was getting targeted so much, hard to get any spells off.
Air elemental only one I got first try. It seemed the first half of the fight my casters were constantly in a tornado flying about, even when I moved them, but at some point that stopped and then he wen't down pretty easily.
So for those of us that are mere boxing mortals, the fights are challenging , but certainly doable.
It will be curious how I fare my second time through, I certainly expect some more wipes but hopefully not as many as my first time through.

I struggled with the fire one the most. Perhaps it was my cockiness thinking I could outheal the fire damage... I couldn't - it hit hard. I believe I wiped on that boss 3 times.
Gahz I was able to down on my second try, but I was a bit lucky to get him down that time. I'm not confident I could go one shot him even now.
Princess I was able to get my first time, fairly easily. I think the priests may just be made for that battle.
The air dude was extremely easy for the team. Maybe I was lucky with his abilities, but that was a borderline boring fight without any excitement (except the initial pull once I realized that he doesn't move and I better get to where the boss is).
After watching some videos of other teams (shamans mostly) I'm starting to realize this priest team may actually be extremely strong for PvE. Mana concerns may ruin everything in Cata, but there is so much healing going on that the margin for error is huge. I'm definitely excited to see how quickly they can get through content in the expansion.

So things did go easier my second time through the 4 bosses.
The wind guy I agree is pretty darn easy. I had my guys grouped too close together the first time through so they were getting tornado'd a lot, making healing/dpsing a challenge.
Second time through spread them out and it was just button mash.
Flame guy was just as challenging, it seems it is more of a don't let up thing, if I stop paying attention the fire can take folks out quick.
I was a bit scared to try the 3 headed fellow as it was quite painful the first time in, but went much easier, I had better control of agro so kept him pointed away from group, so less crazy healing.
Princess also went down easier, I spread against the wall then fought her right in front so the knockback didnt' have any side back :), so folks stayed together.
I think I see the difference between my skills and those that have been doing this longer. It takes me a while to figure out (or go read up on) what I'm sure the good folks figured out or knew what to do the first time in. And sometimes even if I know what I should do I can't always execute ....
Hopefully I'll keep learning and improving!
