Naxx 6-8 boxed!!! (13/15 Bosses down) updated 2/20
On my server, there are not very many pugs so me and 2 of my friends decided to see how well I could 8 box Naxx. We tried this before and failed but with the recent shaman changes, we decided to try again. One friend was off-tanking and was not def capped, and had crappy avoidance. My other friend was on his alt resto sham in blues / greens. I'm the only one who knows the fights as my friends are usually just dps and never pay attention to anything else.
The Setup:
ME
Shaman - Blackbee
Shaman - Orangebee
Shaman - Purplebee
Mage - Soulbee
Druid - Moobee
Priest - Goodbee
Paladin - Imdbee
Warlock -> (subbed out for a druid on Maex, Heigan, Loatheb) - Whitebee ( sub: Gojiberry)
Friend #1
Deathknight - Scoobee
Friend #2
Shaman - Wafflebee
Bosses!!
Anub'Rekhan - 1 shot.
Easy fight when you just heal through the locus swarm. I think I ran out of mana on my dps but we were still able to down him.
Grand Widow Faerlina - 1 shot.
Easy fight. My OT was able to dps down the adds for the enrage without me doing anything. easy fight.
Maexxna - not so easy.
Took a good 5 attempts before we skipped this boss and came back later. My OT was doing dps and he had to break the webs and after all the attempts we did to teach him and my other friend the fight, he got webbed first and we just wiped it from there and moved on. We ended up coming back with a 4th real person and got it on the third attempt with that person.
Noth the Plaguebringer - 2 shot.
Real easy fight when your resto sham knows how to decrurse. I thought we were going to die because the OT died on the second wave but my paladin was still able to tank Noth + adds (Noth was at 3-5% health when he ported the second time)
Heigan the Unclean - Hard
Extremely hard boss without cheating since you cant cheat on him anymore. I think we spend a good 2-3 hours trying to do this boss. It took my OT 4-5 tries to learn how to tank and move him and the resto sham how to remove disease. After that, it was all on me to move 8 characters across the room without dying. I think on our best attempt we got him to 50% and wiped on the second raid dance.
Finally able to down him with 3 others and me 7 boxing, see below.
Loatheb - Easy
3rd try got him down. first try with 2 healers not knowing the fight got him to 8%. second try 5%, third try dead! See below for pics.
We didn't try any of the other bosses because I didnt want to setup macros for instructor just yet and my OT needs to be uncrit for patchwerk + more hp so he doesnt die instantly.
no screenshots because we all forgot but if we down any more I'll make sure to get some

Grats on your work!!
Heigan however, is easy. My first run through there with my group I run with, 5 shaman, lock/2 priests/prot pally/prot tank, everyone died but me, one of the priests and the prot tank. It took 31 minutes, but we got our kill none the less. I dpsed, cured, while the priest healed and tanky tanked. Since then we've actually knocked him out for our less than 8 achievement - by me dropping some of my shaman out of the instance.
He's even that way on heroic. We lost 17 people in the PuG I was in this evening, and the 7 of us who lived ended up killing him. Don't be afraid of Heigan, he's a pushover.
