One of my favorite all time fights is back with all the hard hits and stupidity I remember. Due to the different strategies that are currently being used on this fight its hard for me to exactly get a good post down for this. Most of the time during the fight bears will be off tanks(we can go into cat form and actually be viable, able to battle rez, and innervate people, as well as dps.) However, its just a matter of when you start getting aggro, making sure you dps relaxes till you are in place. Your place will be with your back against the wall, maybe 5 yards wiggle room between there, IN THE CENTER OF THE WALL.
Around 60-70% she will fly into the air. No matter how your group does this, if you are main or off tanking the roles pretty much are the same. Tank the whelps and tank that adds that come in. You could probably 2 tank it, we usually 3 tank it(25 man version, 2 tanks on 10 man version). Couple on whelps and one on the add that comes out. Please keep in close contact on onyxias health, 40% shes coming down. If you are main tank you will need to not be tanking the add and call for a tank. If you are an off tank, you need to pick up the add and make sure its picked up. Deep breaths will be called, get to the sides or behind her. Please watch on the adds for their blast wave, it does hurt quite a bit.
Phase 3, Kill the dragon. If you are mting, same spot except this time fear. Very quickly after fear get your bearings and put yourself back against the wall, in the middle as much as you can. Use whatever cool downs you want here, right before the fear. Off tanks your only job is too make sure that if someone is tail swiped they don't bring whelps with them, with out getting tail swiped yourself. Another thing is, keep your finger near the taunt button, if your tank goes down, be instantly ready to gain the hate back and begin main tanking.
A quick side note, in my opinion that easiest way to do this instance is too when the whelps come on in phase 2 to just have everyone group up and murder them, moving as a group was more effective for my group.
And that concludes my bear tanking guide to onyxia thank you and good night.
