Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle is in my opinion an extremely easy instance for moderate/mid level gear players. The most common mistake made in H UP is going into it with a group in greens and blues and expecting to roll it like Utgarde Keep. That is simply not the case.
Note: In this instance there is lots of mobs, No matter what your gear level, or skill level, help your healer. Don't be afraid to use some cool downs before spinny boss to help him out. Make sure that you don't have 10 mobs standing behind you where you can't dodge them. Keep a close eye on the healers mana. These are always rules to tanking, but very very important in here.
First boss: Svala Sorrowgrave.A Valkerie with some health, very easy fight especially if you have a range who can shoot at the boss while its in the air. Achievement: I am not saying its impossible, It just sucks to do as a bear because with maul and swipe hitting multiple targets. Hard for us to tank that achievement here. Best way is to have another tank or a hunters pet, try to tank the big guy near the sword and move them when it comes down killing the scourge.
Watch out during Palehoof for the healers mana, here and there the aggro tables are a little weird, don't be afraid to use taunt. Boss fight is really easy just zerg it and let the healer do his thing, tap barkskin and trinket if you got it during the fight. Really easy.
The next boss is the hardest in the dungeon. This is often referred to as the gauntlet, I just simply call him spinny guy. (skadi the ruthless)
Preamble: Soon as you walk into the room, guy takes off. As the fight goes on harpoons will hit the floor, someone in your group(not you) will shoot them at the flying boss in the sky from the launchers at the end of the hall way. After 6 shots with the launcher the guy flys down and attacks pretty much whoever is closest to him.
Ok, first when the event starts run half way down the corridor( or all the way if you have really good dps.) Now, just sit and camp the room where the 2 or 3 guys spawn. Kill them off and keep your camera slightly tilted, Soon as boss comes down, Taunt, Then FFF then Mangle. IN that order so that he doesn't one shot a person. You taunt for the snap aggro, then use your usual tanking rotation. Now the boss hates you, you dps for a while, he starts to spin. GET OUT OF THE WAY. If he spins towards you run!!!!!! If he spins away, Watch him, if he gets close to a dps or someone, you can taunt him towards you while hes spinning to save your dps or heals. Very important. If he touches the healer, you will probably have to do the fight over again, or battle rez him very quickly. Once you get these things down this is a fairly easy fight, just don't under estimate wind whirl or whirl wind, whatever it is.
Last but not least is the king, He is just plain annoying, Open with the usual, FFF, then mangle for snap aggro. Every like 20 seconds he will put you to sleep, and unlock a box. Really the boxes are nothing to be too scared of except the one that's much more harsh than the Violet hold bubble things. They can kill you. Its the last box on the left side, it kills people. If he gets this box, stay away from the silver things eventually he will freeze you again and if your near the silver things your probably dead. After that the boss is cake, just annoying.
