Gluth How To
This fight is the same in 10 or 25 man. The only difference is in 10 man Gluth has 3,230,000 and in 25 man he has 8,436,725.
This fight has a 8 minute enrage timer. If you don't kill Gluth by then, it is a wipe.
You will begin this fight at the start of a tunnel. As you run through this tunnel to the boss's room, remember to stay to the right side of the tunnel. Towards the end of the tunnel there is a hole that you can fall through. Once you get to teh end of the tunnel stop. Allow the tanks to go forward and grab Gluth. After the tanks have grabbed him you can then jump down into the boss's room. Note to pet users: Sometimes your pet may not jump down with you. My advice to warlocks (personal experience) is to wait to summon your pet until you are on the ground in the boss's room.
Tanks
Jump out of the pipe first and grab Gluth. Once you have Gluth drag him to the back of the room where the door is. Be sure to have gluth facing the back door and looking away from the raid. During this fight Gluth will use Mortal Wounds every 10 to 15 seconds, this is a stacking debuff. Once you reach 3 stacks, the Off-Tank should taunt Gluth off of the Main Tank. The Off Tank will hold Gluth until his debuff stacks 3 times, at which point the Main Tank should taunt him off the Off-Tank. Releat this process the entire firght. Basically each tank will hold Gluth for 3 debuffs and then trade.
Adds Kiter - Hunter or Mage
During this fight Adds will spawn in the rear of the room over the floor vents. These are called Zombie Chow. It is the job of the Kiter to kite these Adds around the back of the room. You should use frost traps, frost nova, or anything else that can slow down their movement to make kiting them easier. It is important that none of the Adds hit you. Each time an Adds hits someone it applies a debuff and will increase the damage taken. Every 105 seconds Gluth will use Decimate. When this happens all Zombie Chow's HP are reduced to 5% and will try to reach Gluth. If they reach him, Gluth will eat them and be healed.
Raid Notice - Decimate
When Gluth uses Decimate, all DPS should kill the Zombie Chow as quickly as possible. During this Zombie Chow will ignore their threat tables. DO NOT allow them to reach Gluth. If a Zombie Chow reaches Gluth, Gluth will emote "Gluth spots a nearby Zombie to devour!". Gluth will then move towards the Zombie chow and eat it and be healed. Healers should be ready to heal the tanks when this occurs as it will reduce their life to 5%.
Healing
Healing should keep their eye on the Main Tanks, Off Tanks, and the Zombie Chow Kiter. By ready for Decimate (see above). It will reduce everyone's HP to 5% including the Tanks. So be johnny-on-the-spot with heals for that. Heal up the raid members when you can.
DPS
For DPS this is simple. DPS Gluth until decimate. When Decimate occurs kill all Zombie Chow as quickly as you can, and DO NOT allow them to reach Gluth.
