I was actually pondering that today, but given how smoothly the bastard goes down, I figure max was good enough...

Any tips on the 3rd mo-fo... the healer I had with me today (pug or not) was damn good... and he kept me alive til the dragon came down, then I was turned into pudding. Not sure how to position that one, and the fire globs makes for LOTS of movement if you dont bring the dragon down FAST.
There's not a lot special about how I did it, but I do have a slightly different config than you (1paly4shaman).

Start the fight killing the two "guards". As soon as you kill the second (when the rider drops off and comes after you), drop 4 grounding totems cause the dragon will start nuking you. You can basically hold the dragon off forever with 4 shaman (OP OP OP :P ). From here to the end of the fight you want to keep dropping groundings as soon as they refresh.

So start working the orc down, and when he's around around 30-50, Nazan will drop from the sky and come after your group. At this point, I head my paladin towards intercepting him, but I keep all shaman nuking 100% on the rider. He will die in a couple more rounds of LBs.

So this leaves me my paladin by the dragon (with agro on the paladin), and the rest a ways off. It's important in setting up this fight to figure out where you're going to tank him, and make sure (before you kill orc) to setup your shaman at a place that's in range of that spot (for heals). I find that 5-10 yards in from the edge of the bridge, while tanking right in the middle, works pretty well for me.

The key(s) for tanking this fight are: 1) always move the tank out of the fire on the ground, 2) always keep the dragon pointed away from your group, and 3) expect huge burst unless you have tons of fire resist gear. Aside from that, tank-n-spank. It's a very challenging (and fun, imo) fight because EVERY cast I have to choose between a heal (I don't have a resto shaman, just run 4 elementals - so when I heal, they all heal LHW) or a nuke, thanks to the burst nature of the fight. Really no secrets here, just try to keep on your toes.

I will give you a hint about an alternate strategy that I believe could work, but I shy away from it because I'm not sure if it would be considered borderline exploitation. I'll just say that the rider isn't the only thing that 4 shaman can target while he's alive.

Anyway, that's what I do, all pretty standard I suspect. Don't know if it will help you without a tank, but I can see a non-tank class (like one of your shaman) tanking him. Not going to be easy, but I bet it's doable.

Hope it helps, I got this guy on farm status.
