I'm wracking my brain (theorycrafting) to see if there's any viable way for a Warlock to boost in this manner. (Looking forward to what else Heyaz might have learned.) Nothing's coming to mind as very viable considering the warlock's 'squishyness'. I simply can't imagine the micro necessary to spam Siphon Life on that many mobs. (Hrm, maybe the new targetenemy might help?)

A few questions for the experts:

1) How long does it take for the skeletons to despawn? (I'm presuming that even doing a single point of damage is okay as the objective is to have all the summoned skeletons "tagged" and they then somehow despawn but still generate experience?)

2) Are there any other "breaks" in the action other than bailing out by jumping out to reset?

3) How does aggro work? I'm wondering if a fully buffed VW with a druid damage shield would be a viable option?

Thanks.
Haven't done much of it, but here's my input:

1) the ability is this one: http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=12506
in short, totems have a 1min duration, and summon skeletons that last 30seconds.
i think this is the skeletons he summons: http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=8324 (2400hp at lvl 46-47, dont know if it changed now they are 49)

2)the whole fight is constant beatting by 30+mobs.
even after zolo dies the skellies will finish their 30second life still beating on you.
You wont be able to cast anything non-instant spell for the whole duration of the fight until you jump. Unless you have 100% pushback resist or a priest/mage/paly bubble etc.

3)i guess it's proximity agro, and the fact that you tagged Zolo and have initial threat.
an alt might be able to buff you without taking agro from skelies, but any healing will definitely agro a bunch (probably all those that have not been shield-spiked)
The VW with thorns will probably work like a totem or a hunter pet i guess. it will only give xp to the pet since he will tag / 'kill' the mobs alone.
i don't think your clone will get any xp from it unfortunately.
