So Blizzard has learned its lesson from MC and BWL. I mean, there's only so much lore, right?  Designing a cool boss and then tossing him bodily to the slobbering, unwashed masses ... Talk about hemorrhaging content opportunities.  Solution?  Feed the players the bosses one body part at a time!



You really haven't played WoW until you survived an eight-digit laser beam from a five-story-high eyeball.



Pewpewpew?

Keep your eyes peeled for more updates here when guy's eyeball lets us get more than a half-second into his room.
The key to this fight is bringing two 40-man raid groups, as seen below.

The first group should be composed entirely of fury-spec warriors.  The second group should be thirty-nine smite-specced priests and a paladin (because we're Alliance and we can).  The priests apply DPS and healz while the warriors teleport-hack from side to side.  ( <--Blizz: joke )

Meanwhile, in the next room, the paladin actually fights the bosses.  He bubble-pulls, then tricks the Ambiguous Ones into AEing each other by Holy-Shocking one while meleeing the other.  They die in each other's arms just as the paladin hearths.  The two raid groups enter to pose for the kill shots.

And now, the Twin Emps ... in more screenshot-friendly horizontal positions as promised:





One of the most fun fights in the game.  Lots of precision, every single person pulling their weight.  Lots of people screaming "Warrior DPS!" at mikes (no pun intended).  Rogues getting rezzes.  Mana pots like candy.  Acrobatics.  Improvisation.

And a paladin.
