Culling of Stratholme mount run (25 min boss)

Has anyone done it yet? I'm currently working on it, but I'm highly annoyed with the second boss which always seem to get me to a near-wipe state with healer almost OOM. WTB help! :P

One of the problems I'm having is being unable to rest after a bossfight (to regain healer mana) because the non-elites will put me in combat all the time. I'm not sure how to get around that. Maybe a chain thunderstorm/cyclone or something.

Meathook: I didn't have much trouble on him. I was told that groundings would eat the hooks, but I'm not entirely sure and he's very doable even without. He hits sort of hard, but nothing out of the ordinary, just keep him away from casters. Nature resistance totem will help with the disease damage.

Fleshcrafter: The exploding ghouls hurt, but groundings will eat his shadowbolts. Keep shadow resist up (aura), keep grounding totems up and kill the ghouls as soon as they spawn.

Chrono-lord: ?

Infinite Corruptor (drops mount): Tank and spank. His stackable ability is shadowbased, so just keep shadow resists up.

Closest I have come is 4 min shy of the timer. 1st boss is cake, just los him around the corner from the healer or have 1 ranged stand at max to eat the chains, while the others are within melee. 2nd is just a straight dps fight. I usually blow hero/bloodlust on this boss. Beyond that its just a matter of how much your tank/healer can handle at once.

Had a DK (tank), 2 hunters, mage, and shaman on that run. Having a DK tank just seems to make things go faster as their dps is massive even while tanking.

Yes, I did it twice - did it in my third and fourth run, haven't runned it since :-) I want 4 drakes, tho!

EDIT:

I am only running 4 shamans, tho .. so we're not in the same shoes!
I haven't experienced the hook going into grounding, I tend to heal it up and bop one of them. Chrono is pretty much NUKE, I use my fire elementals here and remember to hug him, his charge will kill you otherwise. Watch out with healing, he can hit pretty hard.

Infinite is tank'n'spank as you said, but WATCH your tanks health, keep it 100% all the time .. He does a 80% blow, which is totally insane :)

And GL :)

Thanks. What difference does it make if I bunch up near him when he does the charge? Does he do more damage if chars are apart?

He doesn't charge at all, if you hug him :)

ooh, the goodness! :-D

I've beaten once with my 5 man group, but it was the anti-fun and only happened after several bad attempts.

To save time, I only stop running when I reach the center of the next wave, fire nova totem when it's up and always consecrate beneath my group to kill all of the nonelite zombies.

The first boss involves keeping your finger on the heal button.

Three fire elementals(all I have) usually kills all of the ghouls on the second boss

and give the third boss a hug, as stated

my resto shaman has almost 20k mana which makes it a chore to go oom, so idk my bff jill

lol nice one ss2.
