Off-tank laundry list:
- Keep aggro on tail. This is slightly trickier than it sounds because you spend a lot of time doing other things in this fight.
- Grab both adds (or just the one on your side, depending on the strat of your group). Ideally you'll want to buffer your aggro combo so that you can hit both adds with part of your aggro combo, and then drag them all to the tail so that people can AoE all three targets at once. If you don't buffer and rely purely on un-comboed stuff, you're gonna have a bad time. Saving Circle of Scorn for this part helps too.
- Plan B: Just pick up and hold both adds wherever.
- Plan C: Cover whoever is getting chewed on.
- Pick up the mage add, and start chain stunning him at around 70-80% health. Renew stuns at the end of 0 seconds left on the previous stun. You don't have a lot of time to establish aggro on this guy (about 2 GCDs) before you have to start stunning, so it also helps to buffer your aggro combo here.
- Mark yellow orb things.
- After Lev's ultimate, we didn't have a caster LB3 for the second set of yellow orbs, so we had a melee LB one of the orbs and then downed the rest normally. Normally it's a caster LB on the two orbs near the tanks, or a caster LB3 on 3-4 of the orbs if the healers are good. You don't want to kill all four orbs at nearly the same time because that's a lot of AoE damage on the entire raid.
- When the blue orbs spawn, you don't have to pick them up right away if no one else touches them. Dodge the dive, and then pick up all orbs with a Flash or two before the body slam. This part is pretty hectic and can mess with your dodging, so pop Tempered Will if you are worried about sliding off.
- Once you have all blue orbs, run to your corner with the tail as usual, wait a second or two and then pop Hallowed Ground. All four orbs will explode with no damage to you. The melee DPS should be staying out of the blast radius until this happens.
- Pick up adds, stun mage as usual.
- Burn. If you see two more normal adds show up, pick up the adds but maintain DPS on Lev. Lev will enrage shortly after these two adds spawn.
