I know I am doing this in reverse, But I just did this one and its fresh on my mind.
This is hands down the toughest 5 man I have ever done. The trash in 232 to 245 gear is no joke. I had some good dps with me, and it wasn't fun. 5 pulls them the boss, 5 pulls then another boss. Then you have, a mob with a kinda shadow ability. Then you have to go through about 5 or 6 ice blocks, being chased by the lich king. As Jayna tries to save your sorry asses. It is quite frankly a pain in the butt.
First you will need 3 very good dps, range is awesome, and a DK is wonderful if you can get on vent with them. Death grip to me in this place is amazing to get some of those casters pulled to you. Counter-spell, silencing shot. Everything to get a caster come close for you to swipe, you will need it. I can't stress enough how amazing your healer needs to be. If your healer isn't over geared or talented, don't try it.
Part 1
It is my opinon the first 5 pulls go from easy to hard, on the last one use Whatever you need to stay alive, as early as you can. You want it up for the boss fight. Try FFF the casters, doing as I said up there, getting things pulled close to you. We use the hole straight across from where you enter, works for me. Do as much as you can, Never come off swipe, Use beserk on the 5th wave. Innervate the healer between 5th wave and boss, and whenever else you can. If anyone dies, kill quite a bit of guys, tell the healer to over heal you, tap barkskin and then battle rez. Remember to try and tap every guy you can with something, get them close, lots of swiping, and don't let them get behind you where you can't dodge. You can do it. This first boss after the 5 pulls fears. He is a pain but pretty easy. (Note: Currently Fear ward does nothing on this boss) Just take your fears like a bear. Pop barkskin around the times you get feared, preferably with lower health. Use your cool downs when you need too. The next 5 waves don't feel as hard and you should do well on. The last boss is fairly easily, long as you get out of the purple things below your feet. You will know them when you see them. You won't need to be quite as intense as the first 5 waves and boss.
Run in kill the guy, swipe first soon as the mirror images come out. While you fight, your swipe should almost kill the healer, and take him, then you, them some dps. Very easy fight.
Part 2
The last section, first Pray, second flask, third eat a feast. Then dps the hell out of the mobs as you run up the hill with jayna, its very straight forward. If you are too slow killing stuff, the lich king kills you. First you get some ghouls dont worry about them, just swipe and kill. But the Abombs and such suck. Around the last one 5 or 6 in. You can tell from placement on the hill, blow beserk. Your whole group needs tons of dps on this. Shamans are nice for heroism and dks for army. If you have the dps, and you spam swipe, you will get it done.
And thats the secret to HOR. Sounds alot easier than it really is.
Good luck, more guides coming.
