A few observations: (I was on the left side last night).

1. After smoking the star (Rune's 1st add), I would pop a couple DoT's on Anub'arak, then dps Nic's add, pop moar DoT's on Anub, and finally begin smashing the little adds. When this was done, I focused on Anub until he burrowed. Repeat. Also, I noticed a little bit of time before they appeared (five to ten seconds in my view).

2. More often than not, the little adds would head towards the center (where the melee was). As a result, I would try and pull them back to the left side.

3. My prescription for the little ones: Dps like hell, frost trap, kite, dps, repeat.

4. I kept hearing the officers calling for the elimination of the little adds before burning the boss. In my view, we were doing a pretty good job of this. Although, it's easy for me to make this claim as I felt they disappeared pretty quick.

5. I'm fairly certain these steps were to be the strat. As side note, on the 1st pull I found myself surrounded by four or five of them, and quickly took the eternal celestial dirt nap with eleven (yes--ELEVEN) stacks. I guess they liked my new hat.

In conclusion, I don't see it as our collective inability to exterminate the little adds quickly, rather, to me, it's more of a situation of keeping them in a centralized location for ease of destruction... As to how this may be accomplished, I do not know. That's my two cents...

Suggestions from observations:

Preface-

DPS was the problem last night.
It was caused mostly by positioning issues.
If Anub burrows a 3rd time, it's a wipe.

Potential solutions-

Drop to 2 tanks. I'd suggest Rune on Anub and Rip on the adds.(BV set)
Drop Ice right on Anub's ass and everyone stack there.
Focus on Anub but use AoE until the 1st set of Adds are dead.
Burrow phase, everyone stack and use frost nova, frost traps, AoE roots/snares/slows.
Rogue have anesthetic to calm down the enraged adds via FoK.
Keep as many layers of frost as possible in the one spot. Does Death Grip work?
Blow shit up.

Gratz all for the downing of Anoob!

More observations:

1. Charles was hurt by the lack of opportunity to heal.

2. I'm thrilled by prospect of donning my new trousers. Leggings of the Lurking Threat
3. That strat rawked- Thx Nic.

4. I like seeing perseverance rewarded, i.e. the angst associated with failed attempts being paid in spades with downing a troublesome boss.

5. I believe it was Redhot and Angry; I just wanted to tell you that while most lawyers are pretentious pricks, there ARE some of us who are down to earth realists without the tiresome elevated self image. I guess that is self evident as I'm in this guild...

6. At any rate, to the death of Anoob, and I'm looking forward to the H version. No worries mates, we gotz us some skillz.

We now know we can run it with 5 healers and an empty dps slot.

Put this one on farm.
