Wotlk - ICC - Pit of Saron (PoS) - Forgemaster Garfrost

[crowdx]

Something I have noticed with the PoS bosses in general is that the faster you can burn them down the less you have to deal with inexpected boss moves. Last night I tried a few different tactics with Garfrost and finally the tactic which worked best and seems like it might be one of the better ways to do this guy was to park my team on the right hand side of the steps but facing to the left and not the steps and actually moved over so that I could tank him at the bottom of the steps. This allowed me a bit better movement than at the bottom of the steps and the big advantage I found was that he needed to go further back each time and allowed me more time to heal and also it broke line of sight and so removed his buff.
UPDATE: I downed Garfrost again last night and the above strategy does work pretty well, it allows time to regroup if the rocks have knocked toons out of formation and also for everyone to heal up if needed.

If you stand on the steps and look left, youll see a ledge with a sharp 90 degree corner.. I stick all my dps and healer on that ledge/corner with the tank out front a bit and tank and spank him (just heal thru the rock with grp heals).

I tried this a few times and when the rock hits it sometimes throws my toons across the wall and to their deaths? I presume you are talking about, to the left where there is a mob that walks back and forth to an anvil?

On a side note, with a Disc priest, what is the best healing tactic for this fight? I have shamans with their frost resist totems but my team just seems to take too much damage, even the other mobs sometimes kill the healer if I cannot get them of the healer in time.
I wiped a lot last night on this one :P
