I predict fire and not standing it it will be one of the rougher things for me to figure out a solution to.
Ranged classes can cheat apparently (I find out after I kill the guy) But this fight is really all about movement, and a melee team is going to have to be a little more careful.
The trick is to keep everyone moving to avoid the fires on the ground while keeping up the healing on the tank. I think my group wiped on this guy for ages and when I did get him down I only just made it (Tank died DPS killed him before he got to them).

I imagine as melee the hardest bit is when the dragon first comes down, as he tends to run at you and flame breath which was 1 shotting my healer + DPS. Once you have that down as long as you strafe a bit every few seconds, spam heals and keep threat you should be ok. But I dont really like the idea of doing it all melee as a boxer :P

I think I could do it a lot better now as well, I would ensure I have a spamming heal macro for the fight, ensure I strafe more etc etc.
