When you are targeted by 
 Cudgel of Gore, use 
 Wraith Walk to
get maximum distance between you and the boss.  
 Anti-Magic Shell as you
enter the 
 Blood Storm to reduce the damage you take in advance of the
Cudgel hit.
 Death's Advance will let you clear adds in Phase Two without incurring
a knockback; just be sure to clear them 5 yards away from everyone else, as the
rest of the raid will remain vulnerable to the effect.

With 
 March of the Damned, your 
 Death's Advance cooldown
lines up with 
 Wind Tunnel perfectly, allowing you to completely ignore
this mechanic. You make a good choice for the last tank out, allowing healers to
move without worrying about the tank who stayed behind.
If your guild's strategy calls for you to tank adds in the next room, take
 Bonestorm and cross over with full Runic Power to use on the first
set of adds. Be sure to refresh your stacks of 
 Bone Shield before the
last add of each set dies.
Fetid Devourer

Blood is in an ideal position to offtank for this encounter; try to only use
 Death Strike immediately after a 
 Terrible Thrash.
 Foul Bulwark is a viable choice on this encounter if you need the
extra health to reliably survive 
 Terrible Thrash. If you are main
tanking, or if the additional health is not necessary to survive Thrash, stick
with 
 Ossuary.
Zek'voz, Herald of N'Zoth

Immuning one application of the 
 Void Lash debuff will make your
damage intake much easier to manage; do this by stacking 
 Vampiric Blood,
 Rune Tap, and 
 Anti-Magic Shell.  Which one to immune in the cycle
will depend on your guild's strategy; choose whichever one you will be tanking
for longer after the hit.
A well-placed 
 Gorefiend's Grasp should be able to grip all of the
Silithid Warriors into a single group for AoE control. Note that the Nerubian
Voidweavers will be immune to 
 Death Grip on Heroic and Mythic
difficulties, thanks to 
 Shadowbind.
Vectis

Refresh your 
 Bone Shield as the last add from Phase One dies; it
should last through all of Phase Two.
Zul, Reborn

 Bonestorm is a strong defensive cooldown, with Crawgs in range of
the ability quickly allowing it to reach maximum effectiveness.
During Phase Two, stack pools up to minimize the loss of fight area.  You can
accomplish this in part by using 
 Anti-Magic Shell as you enter the old
pools.
 Death's Advance will immune the knockback during the phase transition,
allowing you to hold Zul in position and keeping the rest of the raid from taking a
stray 
 Rupturing Blood.
Mythrax the Unraveler

 Death Grip and 
 Gorefiend's Grasp break mind controls
from 
 Oblivion Sphere. Be sure to watch ability timers and avoid breaking
a player from an orb only to place them directly in the path of
 Essence Shear, with no time to escape.
You can use 
 Asphyxiate to lock down a Vision of Madness in phase 2.
G'huun

Save your 
 Death's Advance for the final 
 Collapse during the
phase transition in order to keep boss positioning during the transition
constant.
