How much of Zg can you solo?
I can solo both the fish boss and the panther boss. I don't know how much more a pally is likely to be able to solo. I've heard of warriors being able to do tiger and raptor, as well as druids being able to do the snake boss, but that's it.

Nice one. I'm thinking of trying this with my druid at some point.
Did you find you needed to heal much? I have the option of bringing a healer with me, but I'm a bit concerned with the knockbacks (and didn't realise he mana burned).
Would resist gear be helpful? I'll check wowwiki for this, but you get more of a feel for this if you have tanked the fight yourself I think.
Lastly, do you think that's the best place to tank him? I was planning just to keep him down in the water so I didn't need to clear too much for it.
Hoping to get the poly book for my mage and solo is easier than having to drag friends along.
I had to heal a lot. By a rough estimate I was taking around 7k damage every 4 minutes (at which point I would pop a mana potion, bubble, and heal) It was very noticable damage.
Running with resist gear may be helpful, but with resist gear you sacrifice a lot of other stats. I went for passive uncrushability first and then a high block value to minimize incoming damage, and hits hits still routinely were for 800+ (though I would block over 700) I did use frost resist aura (70 resist) and got a few resists but not enough to warrent taking more physical damage. I honestly don't know how it would go for a druid/warrior because you guys work off rage, not mana (and he doesn't burn rage)
The place I tanked him I know is the best place for soloing, because his geyser will never throw you high enough to cause falling damage. You can try in the water if you want but if you have to clear to fight down there, then you've done more fighting than I did. I killed no mobs besides the boss. You can avoid the pats during the pull, but be careful because the boss is leashed like an ourdoor mob, so you need to keep doing occasional attacks to him while you pull.
