Also here is a pro-tip that will make the fight a LOT easier: A priest (preferably shadow) can MC a Dark Rune Warbringer that comes out during the arena event that will give the ENTIRE RAID a 20% haste buff with its aura of celerity. This can be used when thorim is out to great effect, the mob also melees very hard so the priest will actually be doing a bit more dps then normal. This buff was party only until the patch last Tuesday (this has made hard mode a lot easier too btw). Just make sure the priest knows what hes doing and make sure healers are ready to heal him when he gets hit by lightning charge. If the priest has PvP gear he can wear that too to ensure greater survival. And the boss sounds nothing like Patrick Stewart... not even close. Thorim is not Hodir’s brother, he is Loken’s brother.

The third tank in the arena was a solution to the problem.
