Nexus Heroic (Anomalus)

Not quite our normal mix, Tanque had been booted off to do the sleep thing, so we pulled in a newly minted DK in the guild (blod spec), we managed to get Boss#1 down on the first attempt with the new grouping (Pally tank, Warrior DPS, DK DPS & 2xPally healers). Telestra went down on the second attempt thanks to a bad pull (heroic aggro radius is a sod) but we know how to deal with her. Purple -> Blue -> Red, that's the cycle.

Anomalus... we tried the standard approach, tank keeps him in the centre, dps takes out rifts, tank joins in when he shields. We wipe, simply not enough DPS to take out the rifts quickly enough to keep the adds down to something sensible.Second run, we change tack so that all three melee members attack any rift which comes up, I make sure the boss remains on me with AoE / multi-mob attacks and we spank down the rifts as fast as we can, this also means that the trash is collecting on the tank as they come through and hit the consecration keeping them off the healers.It works. Though it has to be noted that wowwiki states clearly that you must not kite him around in heroic mode. Maybe the author wasn't expecting an all plate team.. :)
