Ran Heroic Gun'Drak tonight (first WotLK heroic)

[Hachoo]

Alright I ran Gun'Drak again tonight and cleared all 5 bosses (Yay!). Not only that but when I did I got revered with Argent Crusade for the head enchant AND some nice shoulders dropped with extra stam. I also bought some tempered titansteel treads for the extra stam.

So now I'm sitting on ~24k hp, 535 defense, 17% dodge, 18% parry, 25k armor.

Eck was pretty easy. I wiped on the first try because I messed up with the taunting. I wanted to be 100% sure I owned him the second time so I dropped 4x earth eles which worked for AND against me... I never had to heal my tank, only had to chain heal on my shamans when he spit, but since the eles were all over the place every time he spit he would hit all my shamans. Wasn't that big of deal to heal through it (I had a nature resist totem down, not sure if that helped). Either way he was easy the second try.

The last boss wiped the floor with me the first time, and the second time I BARELY got him down. My tank was down, 3 of my shamans were down, my last shaman had 1k health and the boss had 500 health left and my LB went off JUST before his next hit otherwise it would have been another wipe. I think with the extra stats on my tank he will get easier now

So this will be my main farming instance now - all but the last boss are super easy (the first 3 bosses I've killed both times I've tried them without losing a single person).

The last boss was VERY easy for me when i decided to dps ONLY when he was in troll form and always dance around when he wirldwinds as it gives you some much free time.

The problem with the rhino part is that if i lose focus one or two seconds the tank is dead so i just fully focus on healing and 4x lesser healing waves when he enrages.

I only used 2 mana stream totems and didnt bother to change out my poison and disease cleansing totems. Keeping water shield up seemed to be enough!

I did have a dedicated healer wich makes the fight ALOT easier.

Riptide and earth shield + that 25% armor buff on critt heals is pure win.

Mana tide is a very nice boost when the time is needed.

That was a great tip dominian! I ran Gun'Drak again today and got the achievement with the Eck residue on cause I beat him the first try without losing a single shaman. Just as you said, I did nothing but cast chain heal and lesser healingw ave while he was a rhino, and then after the first rhino phase I used trinket/ele mastery/bloodlust and beat him before the next rhino phase

Ran Heroic UK again today and this time did it with no deaths. I changed one thing on prince that helped a LOT. Instead of mana spring totems I used glyphed healing stream totems x 4 - this cut down on how much I had to heal and nullified most of the ice tomb damage. That, combined with 4 fire elementals and blowing bloodlust and trinkets etc right at the beginning made it so he went down with no one dropping below 50% health. Was total cake.

Second boss went down on the first try, a bit hectic but not too bad, and honestly Ivar was by far the easiest boss. I hardly had to heal at all. Just took the first phase easy and used nothing but LBs and mana springs, then on the second phase I dropped 4x healing stream so I didn't have to chain heal after his roars, used bloodlust, trinket, ele mastery, etc, and he went down so fast I think he roared once and that was it. The best thing for this guy is to just make sure to tank him at max range and have a mod to see his cast bar and the rest is total cake.

Now I have to go back to DTK and get the achievement for that one
