Did a raid on him, on the Draenor realm. He seem to have the abilities of a disc priest. Had sort of hoped for a mix of a priest and a Paladin. Sadly, he doesn't wield his fathers sword(s) either. They should, in my personal opinion have given him that sort of Paladin/Battle priest mix they went for in the comic, "Son of the Wolf" (Which is a pretty good comic tbh - go read it if you haven't, it's free!).
His ability, atleast for what I know were something along the lines of:

-Penance (He throws this around almost constantly like a maniac), did approximately 22k-25k damage pr "bolt".
-Holy Nova
-Psychic Scream

Now I don't know if Blizzard intended him to never die, but we encountered something rather bizarre mid fight. When we got him to 50%, he heals himself all the way up to 75%... he HEALS himself... When he casts the heal, it cannot be interrupted. In the end we had to give up. It may be a bug of some kind, but that heal is a bit too strong and the achievement for killing him (Storming Stormwind) is basicly impossible if he will just heal himself backup to 75% everytime he hits 50%. in the end though, we had was good fun.

What Each Drop Is

The Anduin Wrynn encounter lists 22 items in the dungeon journal, item level 226. Equip slots covered: Chest, Neck, Waist, Finger, Trinket and Wrist. Every piece binds when picked up, so none of it reaches the Auction House.

Read from the current game build's item data. Listed prices come from our latest US Auction House scan; a drop that binds when picked up never has one.
