Worst nightmare hunt of them all. Even the slightest bit of lag gets you rooted & then an ion cannon dropped on your head.

This guy was easy on a 252 prot paladin. I just stood in his face and punched him a lot.
He was very frustrating on a 246 marksman hunter.
You can only interrupt every 2nd or 3rd cast of his bolt attack. You can't interrupt his aoe. You can't avoid taking damage from his aoe. Self healing is very limited. I used a health pot, bandage, vers flask, weapon oil, whenever I could. Lust is only available every 4th pull or so. He melees from about 15 yards away. The only way to bandage is to frost trap him, and you still only get a couple ticks off because reasons. Pots are only available every 2nd pull or so. Frost traps to help my other cds come back was definitely helpful, but it's still a dps race.
General chat yielded no help, despite dozens of other people clearly running the quest. There don't seem to be any custom groups for it in the group finder.
I spent about 800g on repairs and another 200-300g buying some cheap gems and enchants to help out. The strategy is a combination of do it until your eyes bleed and pure RNG luck on procs. Or come back with another 10 or 15 ilevel.
I finally killed him and I just feel... anguish.

Description

This one presents a prickly problem indeed. Thornspeaker Edgath has made a name for himself by using his druidic powers not to preserve Azeroth, but to twist its strength both against his enemies and innocent bystanders alike. He has no regard for anything that is not a beast or growing in the ground. It is time we clip this thorn.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Prey: Dengzag, the Darkened Blaze (Nightmare)Level 90
Do you know why the Twilight's Blade call Dengzag the "Darkened Blaze?" It is because they are stupid, small-minded, and utterly bereft of imagination. What a silly name indeed. I, however, am not small-minded.
