Koralon the Flame Watcher: New VoA Boss

Here’s a first look at the new VoA boss.
This what ultimately VoA is going to look like. We have an Earth boss, a Storm (air) boss, and now a Fire boss. I wonder where the Water boss is going to be situated.
Boss abilities
Not sure if there’s official names for them. That video was shot from the perspective of a Warrior (Arms I think).
First ability is the assorted flame patches that drop around. Stand out of the fires.
Second ability is the flame whirl like thing he does where he spins around and unleashes fire in every direction.
Expect this boss to drop tier 9 level loot.
I’m still downloading the 1.15 GB file right now for the PTR patch. I should be suiting up and ready to go within the next several hours.
I'm Matticus and I play a Dwarf Priest. My home is in Conquest, a raiding Guild that I have founded. Every week, I log 12 hours raiding on Ner'Zhul.
Wynthea is the Troll Priest with the best Mohawk on Firetree. Currently, I raid 4 nights a week in a hardcore guild. I started playing WoW in May 2005, and raiding end-game in May 2007. My guild is currently working through 25-man WotLK content. I've tried playing other classes, but Priests are my passion. I am extremely fond of Dwarves.... especially with Ketchup. 
My name is Sydera and I like to heal things--think Florence Nightingale with foliage. I play a night elf druid on Ner'Zhul, and I raid 12 hours a week. As a guild officer for Conquest, I coordinate healing and recruit new raiders. I started playing WoW in Fall 2005, and it was love at first click. Before I discovered the joys of Broccoli-stalk healing, I raided as a holy paladin, and I now have alts in all healing classes. I have to say, though, bark beats poofy dresses and heavy plate in my book.
guessing tank and spank, with don’t stand in fire, and makes sure your healers don’t suck and can heal up the raid, mmm aoe priests and discipline…
wonder what the enrage is on him and the raid dps needed….
downloading patch…
Wouldn’t Arch count as both water and air? T10 is going to be a new expansion, is it not?
Why hello there Chain Heal buff. It’s very nice to meet you. What’s that? You have some Tier 9 you want to give me? Oh, that’s very helpful, Mr. Chain Heal buff. I very much appreciate that.
Beej´s last blog ..LOST Therory: Quarantine?
Grobbulus, flame version with an added AoE? The hand animations were looking very Slag Pot-ty, but couldn’t tell from that angle.
Archie is definitely more of an Earthen (he tosses rock spikes, after all), while Emmi is Air (vis elementals). If there IS a water boss released with the Icecrown patch, I’d almost expect him to be an unlock in the center. After all, there IS a huge circular empty spot there.
Hmm very similar to archavon. it seems it will be puggable. i hope matticus decides to make a guild in the PTR so we can raid with him
i think that would be awesome. Matt, let us know if you decide to make a guild in the PTR so we can go and test stuff with you. 
That looks completely undone to be honest. A lot easier than Emalon, am thinking there are a couple of abilities that aren’t showing yet.
Also, a 1 tank fight after needing to bring 2 tanks for the other 2? Seems strange to me, makes it feel even more as if some abilities are not yet implemented.

It looks like there are 2 people in front of him, so its quite possible he leaves some kind of debuff on the tank which requires a taunt.
Ok my guess, kill all 3, water boss will emerge from the fountain in center that we’ve been walking around forever.
and I think t10 will be in this expansion likely found in Ice Crown Citadel, Its cool they are giving us 4 tiers, I figured we’d only see 3
Well if you count Dungeon 3 then we had 4 tiers last expansion, we just didn’t have a Dungeon 4 this time.
