According to the dungeon journal you're supposed to hide behind a Permafrost Spike when he casts Freezing Tempest. This seems bugged right now. Both times I hid behind, and still got frozen. Saw others doing the same, and also getting frozen. Meanwhile quite a few players just stood still, and didn't get frozen at all.
Not spawning for any of the groups I've joined after reset.
