Easily soloed a 65 Feral Druid

Heres how I did it:
All I did was start his little summoning sequence, then when he landed, switched into bear and played it from there. Switched out and healed when I needed to (one time) and also a frenzied regeneration. Ended up with about 90% hp left and 60% mana. I dont't know about other classes but a druid can easy solo this. Let me add in that this mob is snarable and stunable.

When you summon him it takes all of the doomskulls so be sure you are ready or else you will have to farm them again. Also a lot of people dont know what these skulls are, and you don't have to have the quest to get them to drop. Usually you can ask around and get 20.

I soloed this as a LvL 65 Warlock with Warlords. I am Affliction with imp HS and imp Fel Armor. I sacced the void and and dotted him up then just cast shadow bolts. I had to pot once, use a healstone that healed for something around 1700 and also Death Coil for the healing. It was a VERY close fight, but I didn't get a lot of nightfall procs so I would imagine a buffed up hunter / mage could do this.

A word of warning - there are guys around the summoning portal, if you kill them then wait too long (1 minute) and summon the dragon, they will spawn before the dragon lands and cause problems. As a warlock I just shadow warded through all their damage when they did because all they do is cast Shadow Bolts. Also Teribus goes nutso is you don't get aggro on him. I have seen him wonder from the mound and go pretty far south.

RewardsDragonbone Greatsword, Dragonbone Talisman, Dragonbone Shoulders, 4,100 XP

Description

Now you must use the Dread Relic in a foul necromantic ritual if you wish to challenge Teribus the Cursed. To the northeast, beyond Auchindoun, is the Writhing Mound, a place where necromancers gather. The auchenai death-speakers and doomsayers carry doom skulls that are laced with powerful necro-enchantments. If you collect enough skulls you can use their power along with the power of the Dread Relic to command Teribus to face you.
