First time exploring the Throne of The Tides (ToT / TotT) and figured I could solo this. The bosses proved me wrong but only for a little while.... ok a long while with this bugger.

Third boss is our friend Erunak from all the Vash'jir quests except he's mind controlled to 50%. Fight him until the little jellyfish pops off his head and then kill that. Easy, right? Not alone at least for my attempts as a warrior.

Wowhead and other forums say this isn't a DPS race. When you're alone, I beg to differ. The shaman uses 3 spells or so and they all hit hard.

Magma Splash... Even with buffed fire resist (to 120), you're still looking at a 20K hit here in a frontal cone so just eat it.
Earth Shards... Hits for a couple K repeatedly. Just move out from where it pops up.
Lava Bolt... Another fire attack for 20+K Interrupt this and the magma attack any way you can. Since I'm limited to one pummel, I chose to stop him from using this attack every time.

For the little critter, it'll hit for around 10K a hit and do a few tricks:
Mind Fog... Green gas cloud that prevents you from doing anything except moving. Annoying and painful to be in. Get out ASAP.
Unrelenting Agony... 2K per hit per second shadow attack for 10 seconds. You could stack shadow resist somewhere along with fire but as a warrior you start to lose valuable armor and STR boosts. I'd wear fire resist shoulders for example but they create a massive loss to expertise - making the boss far too hard to hit.

Currently fighting with Tier 11 PvP gear from honor points along with a couple from Conquest. While the resilience doesn't help in anything but PvP, aside from perhaps slightly less Mastery, I see no reason as to why this gear won't suffice as being better until higher raids or Firelands - it boosts HP, STR, and nearly all other stats significantly from my old 348 set. The new armor I'm using for these battles is ilevel 383. Had to start using a few items for success here: Golemblood Potion, Drums of Forgotten Kings, Mythical Healing Potion and changing my 2H axe from Windwalker to mending along with also using the previous Tier 10 2H axe with Mending. Also finally leveled first aid so had Dense Embersilk Bandages at the ready just in case.

As you can see... SO DARNED CLOSE. Different technique than the actual win because I hadn't thought of it yet. Was still able to get so close due to tons of crits which the other fight didn't have.

Shot at 1200p / 60FPS but Youtube downsamples the clip. Too bad.
All settings on Ultra / High except Multisampling, which is on 2x.
