He has around 4-5mill hp. He does a hurtful strike for some decent damage (guess on second highest in threat and melee range).
every 30sec he get a buff that increases his damage by 15% and it will stack. => dps race ;)

Every minute or something he do shatter which knockback people first and when you have 5 debuffs it does upto 9k damage to people around you. damage depends how far they are away. If they are next to you then you do 9k damage, 20yard is like 0 damage. 10yard 4-5k etc.

Hard part is the dps and managing the shatter.
