RELOG when the Brain of Iso'rath is evading. Easy as that

For those that the quest has bugged, just drop the quest and pick it up again. I ran into this issue last night and that solved it.
As mentioned, stay in the circle so that he does not evade, you will be provided bubbles and healing from the shaman you save. They will aid you. Just to add, his hit box is so large that melee can likely stand in the shield the whole time.

Yeah. It's bugged. Sometimes your 4 buddies are nowhere to be found and with solo dps you won't be able to kill him w/o running under cover. And if you run back and forth to heal/remove acid boss will most likely evade bug on you.
Best bet is to make sure those 4 guys are following you (abandon/retake if needed) and then nuke the brain. With quest gear Its doable, but will be a close call.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Terrors of Iso'rathTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35
We need you! You were stuck in some kind of nightmare. So are many of the other shaman. It doesn't matter... our plan is falling apart.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Warm WelcomeTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35
I'm glad you're back! Saving the world or something, I'm sure. I was dispatched to establish relations with the red dragons in the area, but I'm finding this bunch somewhat less accommodating than the ones at Wyrmrest were. I have, however, been told that you are the type that solves problems.
