Telestra is a rather unique fight, if not for her spells (AoE frost-damage nova with temporary stun, splashing firebombs, and a Kaelesque gravity spell), then for her pandaren split skill. Thankfully, she's cake in Kara Epics and T4/Badge gear. Anomalus is similar in theory to Vexallus and Curator, though less forgiving as his Chaotic Rifts do AoE damage -and- summon adds. High burst DPS is required to kill the Rifts fast enough to damage the boss. He seems to speed up his Rift summons if you leave one alive too long. I swear I've seen him summon two to three in a row. Omorok is easy and fun for everyone. Treat him like a Supremus without the volcanoes, added Spell Reflection and a flame trail you can quickly nip out of, and enjoy his shininess. Keristrasza is my favorite fight, an interesting one that promotes fast casts, smart instant spells and quick hops and twitches of movement, combined with the usual smart-dragon-positioning of side-DPS. The chains only add to the fun (Dispel Glyph wins for Priests) Each boss is a fresh new experience…
