I guess I'll get in on this thread now.

So I finished Stockades last night and ran all the way to SM (which sucks pretty hard for alliance). I ran library once to get the key (trivial) and then went to Cath real quick before bed. It did not go well. I cleared the first hall, and then ran the pattern from the first page and while AOEing at the end they got loose. I didn't retry to CC, and got worked. I hit ice block to buy myself more time to think and then they ran over to 1-shot my alts. BTW, I'm specced the same as the frost spec mentioned on the first page (http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=of0qcoMZZbAMIcfxsbqz). I'll try again tonight to see if I do any better.

Suggestions welcome .
Your alts are too close. If they are far enough away, they won't get aggro when you iceblock. The max range for them to get XP is actually quite far, e.g. from the doorway at the end of the passage (start of SM cath), to the foot of the stairs leading up to the raised outdoor level (hope that makes sense).

Also if any of your alts are healers, the other option is to throw in a quick heal, although minimal at this level, it can still help, but they'll be guaranteed to aggro if you iceblock doing this ofc.

And on Ice Barrier, hit it 8 secs or so BEFORE you pull, this way the cooldown is up half way through the pull, so it stays up longer.
