So now I've done this on 25 hard. We still started with a healer (holy priest) but then started working on the more problematic dps while people CCed and interrupted the other 2 healers. It was my job to lock down the rogue as much as possible who I think is the game breaker for most people. After chasing this turd all night I'll give some insights:

The rogue is definitely a fixate mechanic. He picks someone and chases them until they die so whoever is targeted needs to kite the rogue (unless he targets someone in prot plate then the fight gets a LOT easier). The rogue will change targets from time to time. The times it seemed random were maybe once per fight and might have been related to someone getting too far. The other more consistent reason was someone was low health. If someone is low health the rogue (and I think all dps) will turn on that person. The rogue however has high burst and shadow step making him the most dangerous. This is why you need someone on the rogue full time who can stun. When this happened it was my job to charge/intercept and control the rogue while the targeted person got away. A dk to assist in these times is really helpful.

For those of you who see this fight on 25 hard good luck. Its honestly the hardest fight I've done since 60 naxx. Un nerfed sunwell might have been harder but I missed that.:(

IMO, the Ret Paladin is the most dangerous of the melee oriented FCs. We've seen him not follow standard GC mechanics where he did a melee attack, judgement, and divine storm all within 0.05 second period which will pretty much kill any person barring someone in tank gear (and it did kill one of our Bears in caster form to do a cyclone).

Definitely, when it comes to normal and hard, the kill method for normal should be to kill the healers then all the remainder, but in hard, it should be more along the lines of control the healers till you get a couple DPS down, then kill one healer while continuing to control the others, kill more DPS, then look at if it's easier to continue working on DPS or take out another healer.
