Johnny Awesome fights you accompanied by his pet [npc=54288]. He will do normal [spell=205567] at you, [spell=229139], and channel a [spell=229127]. Additionally, you will have to avoid rain of arrows indicated by green circles on the ground. [npc=54288] does a charge stun if you get too far away from it.
Use [spell=229127] to have Johnny Awesome kill [npc=54288] and he will cast [spell=229111], taking increased damage while channeling.

Avoid the Volley circles on the ground. When Johnny begins to cast Powershot, make sure you have Dazzle, the pet, standing between you and him. Powershot will hit and eventually kill Dazzle, saving you from death as well as forcing Johnny to cast Revive Pet, at which point he takes double damage. Use that window to finish the fight.
Since Volley circles last throughout the fight, melee should be careful to avoid having them cast on top of the boss, as it is impossible to move him and will make dps'ing him much harder.
