The reason they suggest 15k is just for the pull, but i really never worried about that, after a couple of months there was only twice i got a full arcane blast on me, and both times my combat log said i had the dampen first but it happened so close together i ate the shot. I always got a bop when the hunters put their misdirects on the tanks, and would follow an imp up, as soon as the imp gets aggro and the mage starts casting on him i would run past the imp and spellsteal, from there its easy. I usually ran about 12.5k health and didnt go any higher than that for the pull.
The problem with the imp thing is that all our warlocks have had RL creep up on them at the same time. So now, we're running warlock-free. Which means that, even despite the change to CoE...Poldaran no longer has CoE.
I ate a couple of full bolts at first, but now that I've gotten the pull down, I think I'm good. I believe I'm gonna drop the couple of old Krosh-tanking greens I've been using in exchange for my better, more +hit capable gear. This'll mean I can get by with only 1-2 points in Arcane Focus, which'll mean that I can not have to respec every week for this one fight.
I have to be honest, this fight is much easier from a mage-tank perspective than the Maulgar fight was. The buff lasts so long and is recast so often that I don't have those nice, panicked moments where I know I'm gonna take a big bolt. I actually found myself kinda bored, so I'm gonna try to convince them to keep the priestess in range so I can CS something.
