I use a level 80 prot paladin to boost RAF alts from level 45-55 in stratholme (then summon them to outlands). This instance works particularly well for a prot paladin because you can cleanse slowing debuffs and aoe stun everything. This is the service entrance to UD strat. This is not a perfect pull by any means, and in fact it could go much worse if you get kicked or bumped around by the fat boys.

1. Use blessing of sanctuary + frost aura (to resist the frostbolts). Keep sacred shield up at all times
2. Use glyph of holy wrath to reduce the cooldown to 15 seconds -- you'll need it.
3. Use rank 1 consecrate and holy wrath (to stun) so you don't kill the non-elites. Ret aura will kill them as well
4. You can pull almost everything at once (skip the spider part because they will chain silence you)
5. Strafe! If you get hamstrung with blessing of freedom on cooldown, walk backwards or die.

This method will get you locked out for about 25 minutes. If you want:

1. Split it into two pulls, you will probably die a few times using this method (especially if you get chain kicked with your back facing the mobs)
2. Loot everything to kill time
3. Pull the other side if you like getting chain silenced
4. Log off and go do something productive with your life when you get locked out

The results:

1. 45-55 in a few hours. I only had 2 alts in the group so that slowed it down -- it can be done faster with more group xp bonus. Toon with 2x heirloom items went 45-58 in same amount of time.l
2. About 10 broken shields, but all other gear at about 30% durability after the whole thing - and mostly because I died twice. Use level 5 gray shields, avoidance against lvl 55-60 mobs is near 100%

Note:

That's "The Black Heart" proccing, not blessing of protection. They share the same animation. Don't use BoP.
