Starting to struggle on my priest a little.  Trying to silence the first torrent and sacrifice my mindbender for the second.  My dps is starting to show though as I think I've hit the enrage a few times (blame it on the holy gear ).

Any priests got any tips at all?

Having trouble at the end of the fight as a rogue. I kick each torrent, avoid rain dance, but by the end of the fight he is hitting me for around 270k melee hits. Trying to use shuriken toss at the end, but still haven't gotten him down. Closest has been about 300k health left on him. I'm going to try saving my cd's for the end and see what happens. If anyone has tips they'd be appreciated!

Just to say a few upgrades this week I managed to pull enough dps to get him down.

Possibly not the best strategy but as a shadow priest I silenced the first Torrent and either Fade+Mindbender and sacrificed him for the second Torrent, or dispersed through it (but found that lost me a lot of dps time).

I do about 40-50k dps and struggled with it. Finally got food and flask buffs and muscled through it as cat.

I don't understand what causes some of the melee attacks to hit for more than 200k, while some others only deal 50k damage.

Do those 200k attacks happen before the 2nd rain dance?  Because after that rain dance he enrages.

I eventually figured it out. He enrages when he reaches below 20%. That said, if he's casting rain dance at 20.01%, then he will only enrage when he finishes the dance

Oh ok.. I thought it was timed.

I managed to easily survive until the 2-minute enrage timer by not attacking him. That's when I figured it had something to do with his health

he enrages after the second rain dance... first time i went against him he had slighty over 30% and enraged after the dance. after a few more looks at it he always enrages after the second dance.

Your video says to stun him, but from what I remember, you can't stun him.

I tired to use a stun as a boomkin because I only have one interrupt, but i clearly remembering not being able to stun him since I had to defensively survive torrent.

You have one minute and need to do 50k+ dps, he doesnt enrage at 20%.

Boomkin Strat - must re - Glyph into Fae Silence.

Start of the fight use all your CD's plus a pot (i suggest using a flask). As soon as he starts to cast Torrent you should cast Solar Beam. Once solar beam comes down he should (not always) cast Rain dance. During rain dance move around him casting Sunfire and Moonfire. Use Starsurge as much as possible during this phase. His next spell should be Torrent at this point your Solar Beam will not be up. You will need to swap to Bear form and cast Faerie Fire to silence him. after that torrent he should rain dance. he should be dead in the 2nd rain dance. if he goes on much longer i think he will hit the enrage timer.

i suggest as a boomkin get as many buffs as you can and possibly get a warlock to symbiosis so you can have another dmg reduction. i also hear that you can use rogues and get cloak and be immune (or maybe miss) to torrent i have never tried this.

Spells that helped me through this fight, Barkskin, NatureSwiftness + healing Touch.
Spells that do not work. Typhoon

Easy fight for arms warrior if you're decent geared.

Pre-pot, pop reck/banner/avatar/trink/deadly calm and go all out.
Make sure to interupt 1st torrent, and just keep nuking. As soon as execute lights up, go crazy

I managed to kill him during his 1st rain dance, pulled around 110k dps.

Just a note for rogues, Torrent is not stunnable with KS
