Method & Tips for Powergrinding RFC
I'm currently using my 63 paladin to boost 4 shammies and wanted to share a couple of tips for Ragefire Chasm.
RFC (for me at least) is a good grinding spot from level 8 [min required to enter] up to level 16
Make sure to have the following buffs up:
* Blessing of Sanctuary
* Ardent Defender
* Devotion Aura [NOTE: Using DA instead of Ret Aura will help you mitigate some damage as well as not kill the troggs too far away from your lower level toons to keep them from getting xp]
Method:
=======
1) Body pull with your high level tank through the first couple of pulls (5-6 mobs; a few earthborers and 2 molten elementals) up to the area with dozens of troggs walking around; have your lower level toons on follow
2) Once you have reached about 30 yards from the open area teeming with troggs, take your lower level toons off follow
3) Use your tank to begin pulling the troggs using a combo of body pull + Level 1 Consecrate and/or special abilities (mana tap/HoJ/etc)
4) Take the right most fork (it runs down first, then uphill) that leads up to Ogleflint's room; continue body pulls, etc
5) After pulling Ogleflint and his 2 companions in the room, run straight out of the room and jump down; this will put you at the end of the left fork you bypassed earlier
6) Run back to the open area where your lower level toons are; the troggs you left above by jumping will simply run across the lava and meet up with your fresh pulls on the left path about halfway back to the open area
7) Stop about 20 yards in front of your lower level toons, then flip on Ret Aura,then spam max level Consecrate and Holy Shield until they are all dead.
Total time to grind 50+ mobs: approximately 2 minutes, 10 seconds
===
Tip #1: A nicely timed Swiftness Potion could probably make this a sub-2 minute pull (this has not been tested yet)
Tip #2: Depending on your stamina, etc, you may need to bubble and heal; try not to get much below 1000 hp before stopping to heal
Tip #3: Use Concentration Aura instead of DA if you want to be able to get a heal while being whaled on my all of the troggs without bubbling.
Tip #4: If you are so inclined, you can save your bubble and just use health pots to replenish HP (author's personal note: i think this is a waste of money, but to each his own)
===
The inspiration for this outline was using the timer feature that came with the latest patch and a couple of trys/methods to see if i could speed up my RFC boosting at all. Also, the troggs have no knockback or special abilities save something akin heroic strike, so it is much safer and quicker than trying to pull all of the separate islands of Searing Blade orcs deeper in RFC. The Cultists have a knockdown that can make it hard to cast consecrate, etc if you pull them in large enough numbers.
Not sure if this has been highlighted before, but hope it helps someone. :)

Nicely written up ! - I was doing that last night but also going further into the instance after the first pull. Agree that there's no real point in going further in (except for the quest) due to knockbacks. It's pretty funny how the troggs run on the lava and swarm over the walls :) I was getting 1/2 a level on each pull - vnice. My shammies are at level 15 now so I might take them to SFK.
