As usual, lack of news doesn't mean we didn't keep trying, and eventually killing, the last boss we had left in ICC, that being Deathbringer Saurfang.
The fight does take a little more co-ordination than your average tank and spank approach that has become the norm since the introduction of wotlk, which did result in a couple of resets before we finally managed to bring things together on this boss. The main problem seemed to be that we were getting too many Mark of the Fallen Champion which was due to both raid positioning (had to keep range from other raid members otherwise Saurfang gains Blood Power quicker), killing of adds in a less manic order and a seemingly slight lack of DPS.
After many nights of trying, and wiping, we decided to bring full nuke on him, meaning using bloodlust at the start of the fight, coupled with 1 more DPS and 1 less healer (hard to believe, but it was Khaleb's idea!), coupled with a little more cohesion on add killing and spreading of the raid.
With all these adjustments being made, Saurfang jr. was no match for HyS seniors, so we added one more to the farm status.
