WotLK Heroic Achievement advice wanted! (5 pallys)

Silly stupid question, but are you moving out of his AOE when it does it? (HOS boss) I am pretty sure he stands still and does his AOE, so if you tank him >15 yards from the middle, then when he does his AOE, you can just move away from him to help lower damage. The oozes (just remembering, not proof), just take time to join together? Or is there more to it. I remember that it just took time for them to join together (buff up, or grow whatever you want to call it). Then just have to count out how many you do, so you don't drag out the fight too long. Yeah, it is healing intensive though. I am 95% PVP on my pallies, so I put on a holy light glyph so I get splash healing. If glyphs are easy to change out and it helps, might be something that might help.

I am just curious, other than boss wanting to destroy the next person in line after the tank gets impaled, what is so bad about the share the love? Is it that impale is a lot of damage or something. Or is it that boss gets pissed later in the fight, so he is doing crazy damage? Or what? What is the big deal about spreading out on him?

in response to your question, he does a nasty ww that adds a stacking dot, you aren't in melee range because of this, thus you're not getting "free instant" heals and mana regen via attacks. He does a random knockback for a good chunk of dmg, and then there's the randomness of the share the love taunt/impale mechanic. It took only one try to do it, tho my pallys are pretty well geared. It was luck imo, if i tried it again i would prolly wipe over and over. The good part about that achievment is its NOT a dps race, so i probably (if i had them geared for it) could have had 2 tanks and 3 holy and just ranged pewpew(ie pally taunt, exorcism, judgements) and gotten him down low enough and then just taunted around on the impales. Its easy enough i guess hehe.

As for the last of my achievements, i've been brainstorming a ton lately and have decided its probably best to just wait it out and farm the 25 k gold before i actually even attempt this last one. This will give me more incentive to want to do it via the mount reward lol plus if i time it right and all i can mega guild spam which is always fun for me lol
