Guild message says to read up on the strategy for The Plagueworks...So I went and read up on the PTRs posted by different groups....what ever I gather here is not finalized...

I saw the fight in youtube.com quite cute boss...
(real darn ugly...I am not sure about the adorable part yet...But I am sure he is real fierce...)
Its always exciting to watch what is posted on tankspot.com...

Anyway I gathered the following information so far:

Only 2 tanks is required, 1 for the start then another one later in the fight, and positioning is not too important - you can take the default position in the middle of the room. Ranged DPS and Healers should be roughly 10-15 yards according to wowhead.com to avoid multiple people being hit by Vile Gas. (guess I will have to be very careful not to be too close to others, very scared just by watching the different fights)

Once the boss is pulled the room will be filled with Gaseous Blight which deals Shadow Damage every 2 seconds (For all the videos I watched I can see lots of graphic intensive bursting of different lights here and there, I wonder if my PC can take it or not).

Gaseous Blight

For every 2 seconds in each Gaseous Blight:
0 inhale -> Boss does normal dmg, Gaseous Blight does 4.5k shadow dmg
1 inhale -> Boss does +30% dmg, Gaseous Blight does 3k shadow dmg
2 inhale -> Boss does +60% dmg, Gaseous Blight does 2k shadow dmg
3 inhale -> Boss does +90% dmg, Gaseous Blight does 1k shadow dmg

*note: healing intensive for grp healer at start and at later stage tanks.

Inhaled Blight

Inhaling the Gaseous Blight increases damage dealt by 30% and attack speed by 30%.

Pungent Blight

Will happen 30sec after Inhale Blight. Dealing 50k shadow dmg to all players....Resets Inoculated and Inhaled Blight stacks.

Gas Spores

Boss will cast Gas Spore on random players. Everyone must get within 8 yards of a player with a Gas Spore. If no one in melee is targeted one of the ranged must run in to apply the stack to them. If 2 players in melee get a spore one needs to run out to cover some ranged players.

The Gas Spores explode after 12 seconds applying 1 stack of Inoculated and deal 2k Shadow dmg to affected players.

Blight Spores

Upon removal of Gas Spores from infected players, inflicts 1950 to 2050 Shadow dmg every 1 sec for 6 sec. (Can stack up to 5 times if you are in range of 5 Gas Spore infected players) So very impt thing is to SPREAD!

Inoculated

After you receive Blight Spores, you become "Inoclated", each time you get about 2k shadow dmg and 1 stack of Inoculated, shadow dmg done to you will reduce by 25% up to 75%. Before each Pungent Blight cast, all raid members MUST have a 3 stack including the tank, 2 stacks will not work...

After getting your stack, players must then be quick to spread back out to avoid multiple people getting hit by Vile Gas (which is already mentioned above MUST spread!). Everyone not infected must stand next to the closest infected player within 12sec.

Gastric Bloat

Throughout the encounter the tanks will be getting a stacking debuff called Gastric Bloat which increases their damage by 10%. However if the stack reaches 10, the tank will explode and deal 50k damage to the entire raid. Therefore tanks need to switch after 9 stacks. The debuff last for 100 seconds according to www.stratfu.com.

OMG so many things...I see until blur liao...
