Fun fight. Think of Sarth + Tenebron + Lots of whelps.
You won't be going into the portal, you should be burning tenebron down ASAP to stop him spawning more whelps. The damage done by them is negligible at first, but they stack an armor reducing debuff where it reduces armor by 1500 per cast. More whelps = Less armor = More damage.
Tenebron also has a frontal cone ability, so the OT will have to face him away from the raid while keeping aggro on the whelps. This is a very healing intensive fight.
Lava walls and elementals occur as usual in the fight. Once Tenebron and the whelps are destroyed, just continue like you would be fighting Sarth without a drake.
Paladin/Warriors are best suited for tanking Tenebron due to their superior AoE abilities. Druids are very capable of tanking Tenebron, but if the armor debuff gets too great, they will die fast.
Expect learning wipes.
edit: I've got my guilds first Sarth + 1 Kill. I'm the feral taking care of Sarth. Video is Mage PoV: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBPCJgkDDTE

You choose how many drakes you get by killing none, 1, 2 or 3 of them before you engage Sartharion. They can be killed separately before Sarth, without aggroing him. The achievements are for killing any number of them while engaging Sartharion. Leaving any up, they come in the order of: 1. Tenebron - 30 seconds 2. Shadron - 75 seconds 3. Vesperon - 120 seconds
Just did this today for the first time. We left Tenebron up. We were able to one-shot him.
