While people can be carried, if you know the fight and are able to do Emalon then you will be able to get the achievement. It's simply a quick way to filter those who are unable to do the fight.
Absolutely not. All the achievement shows is that you've been present when Emalon was killed, and there is no requirement for you to actually be alive when that happens. You can die thanks to your own stupidity and NOT having the slightest clue about the fight in the first seconds, and still have 9 or 24 people carry your sorry *** to the achievement. You can do absolutely everything wrong, have crappy dps, and it just won't show anywhere.
And it's not like the Emalon fight is overly sophisticated. It doesn't require any more attention really than Archavon or any other heroic boss, yet nobody ever wants to see an achievement there. (But we'll get there soon I guess).
It doesn't matter how many times you killed that sucker with a bazillion alts - you'll find yourself hard pressed to find a group willing to take you with a character that doesn't have that idiotic achievement, so it doesn't really matter how easy it would actually be to get - if you were already IN that instance.
Interesting enough, if you come across those achievement ***** in a heroic group, it's usually THEM you find at the bottom of dps charts, having to ask for boss tactics, or simply being plain stupid in general.
