This instance is really a gear check, something which people should not forget. I got a few upgrades for my shammies today thanks to those lovely conquest emblems and I managed to get through the last boss without a single wipe.

A few things of note even Puppychow summed it up quite nicely.

1. Make sure you you cleanse your tank (something I totally missed on my first tries since things are really hectic).

2. Avoid those ghoul explosion at all costs, especially if your toons don't have that many hps. (if you come out low on health after P2 you most likely will wipe).

I have to admit, really fun instance and the rewards are just godly.
Just to reinforce the gear check remark - I had a horrible time on Friday night getting this instance cleared, took me 3 hours. I spent Sat and Sun instance farming and cashing in some Conquest emblems for new gear, and Sunday it was much easier, especially on the Black Knight (got him on first try). Now I know things get easier with more practice, but honestly the extra DPS the shammies put out made a difference on all the bosses in there.

I run with 1 pally, 3 ele shammies and 1 boomkin. The boomkin's in full Ulduar, the rest are in rep, Naxx and emblem gear.

People who run with a boomkin, don't forget you can push the ghouls away just before the Black Knight dies with your frontal wave attack (I forget the name right now). Note that the push will NOT work as well after the knight dies, they only move part way (at least that's what happened to me).
