After numerous ways of trying various teams, I found the tried and true Pandaren Water Spirit / Chrominius combo worked the best.
Your first pet can be basically anything. Its job is simply to take the charge Eleanor does in round 2. Whether you can survive it or stun it or not is irrelevant, and even if you survive the stun, Eleanor will heal herself back to full by the time the first pet is dead.
In comes the Pandaren Water Spirit. You simply start the Geyser, followed by Whirlpool. Then switch to Chrominius and immediately hit Howl. The Geyser and Whirlpool will hit, stunning Eleanor at around 35% health. Surge of Power with Howl active will finish off Eleanor.
Love you, @undergoat! :)
EDIT: To make the strat even more fail-proof, you can have a specific first pet. I personally like to use Darkmoon Zeppelin to drop a decoy, then blow itself up. This gives you a bit of extra time for the Water Spirit/Chrom combo. As others mentioned, Unborn Val'kyr is good too. Any of the foxes to give a speed boost can work as well.

Video of her demise here: Eleanor the Undead Goat gets bunnystomped
1 S/S Bunny of any variety can almost solo her - but the moves to use are pretty set; I used a S/S [npc=63558] because teeny bunnies are even cuter. (after the big nerf of 6.1 this is even easier!)
Team used:
- [npc=63558]
- [npc=61690]
- [npc=61690] didn't even use
The moves you will use are in a very static order to deflect what Eleanor's scripted moveset is doing. She is *very* strong however because of the bunny's speed and dodge, you are just chuckin' and jivin' around her moves and it's great!
These are the moves in exact order:
[npc=63558]=[petability=360]>[petability=312]>[petability=360]>[petability=163](lasts 3 rounds)>[petability=312]>[petability=360]>[petability=163] - [npc=63558] dies.
Bring out [npc=61690] and [petability=360]>[petability=312]. Done.
None of the posts here before me worked, I did finally find a team that did flawlessly.
Mr Bigglesworth 111
Zandalari Anklerender 222
Red Cricket 111 Really, any pet with Swarm/Stampede will do.Certain breeds aren't needed.
1- Ice Tomb
2- Ice Barrier
3- Switch to Zandalari
4- Primal Cry
5- Black Claw
6- Hunting Party, raptor will die during this
7-With Red Cricket just Swarm and Eleanor should be dead.
