The Silver Serpent can be found almost immediately after you enter the instance, right after the initial ooze pulls. It didn't appear to melee that I noticed - just did a frontal cone ability ([spell=221174]) you should move out of, a bunch of purple swirlies on the ground ([spell=221185]) you should also move out of, and an unavoidable AoE ([spell=227364]). Extremely straightforward, just kill it and move on.

Edit: Have to kill Advisor Vandros as well. Since I cleared it earlier could not get credit for the quest.

Edit 2: Joined another Mythic Arcway group and was able to get it. Bosses dropped no loot though since I already cleared it.

Easily soloed the Silver Serpent as a Feral druid. Cleared the zone earlier this week, so just walked in and the boss is pretty much right in front of you. A few mobs to avoid, but I could stealth right by them. Avoid the cone aoe and swirly aoe attack. The unavoidable mana explosion did hardly any damage which I was easily able to heal. I could attack from the railing even though he didn't move much. There was some line of sight issues but jumping while attacking seemed to help.
