Overview The majority of the fight is spent in the land phase 1, interrupted occasionally by healing intensive pseudo-phase 2. During the land phase, you will want a few things kept in check. The first person to run to the boss should be the MT. The second person must be the OT, as she will link the player closest to the MT with Blood Mirror, causing them to take equal damage as Shadow damage. There is no tank swapping, Delirious Slash seems to be applied only to the OT, who will be a "soaker". Healers, the tanks will take a lot of damage - easily over 25k per hit on 25-man. Other players will want to be relatively spread out (at 6-10 yards range), but still close enough to be able to run to each other (or to an arbitrary point in the room, say the middle) quickly when Pact of the Darkfallen happens. Should you be targeted with Swarming Shadows (think Jaraxxus' Legion Flames), run to one of the walls, and drop your shadows in a line next to the wall, as far from the raid as you can. A key mechanic to the fight is Lana'thel's Vampiric Bite. 15 seconds into the fight she will bite a raider (the non-tank with the highest threat at the time), granting them Essence of the Blood Queen, and turning them into a vampire. The Essence grants 100% damage increase, self-healing equal to 15% of the damage done, and reduction of all threat to 0. However the debuff lasts only 75 seconds (60 seconds in 25-man). After it expires, the vampire is given another debuff - Frenzied Bloodthirst - which gives them the same Vampiric Bite ability Lana'thel used on them (button 1 on their new action bar). When under the effect of the bloodthirst (15 seconds), the vampires need to bite somebody, or fall under the control of the Blood Queen and likely wipe the raid. Biting a fellow (non-vampire) player will grant them Essence of the Blood Queen, as well as refresh the debuff to its full duration on the biter. So every 75 (or 60) seconds after the first Vampiric Bite, the number of active vampires will double. You should end up with 8 (or 16 on 25-man) vampires close to the end of the fight - and the death of even one of them will likely cause you to lack the DPS needed, so beware. Shroud of Sorrow is just a passive aura that ticks for a lot of Shadow damage every 2 seconds. It causes reflective abilities and talents (e.g. shamans' elemental shields) to proc very frequently. Twilight Bloodbolt is the reason you want your raid members at least 6 yards away from each other, unless they are melee/tanks. And the last part of the fight, the pseudo-phase 2, where Lana'thel flies in the air... 2 minutes into the fight, and 1:30 minutes after that, Lana'thel will Incite Terror, fearing the entire raid for 4 seconds. She will then proceed to fly into the air and shoot a lot of Twilight Bloodbolts at random people for 6 seconds. This is an extremely healing intensive part of the fight, and defensive cooldowns are strongly recommended, if not mandatory. Use them on the first "air phase", since a lot more people will be able to self-heal themselves during the second air, because of the higher number of vampires.Heroic: The Heroic version of the encounter is practically identical to the normal one, except for one thing. Lana'thel will now have a buff called Presence of the Darkfallen, which increases the damage done by the Blood-Queen's Shroud of Sorrow aura by 5% for every vampire in the raid. This will make air phases especially difficult to survive, so plan your cooldowns accordingly.
