TheWoWDBOn this, make sure you don't bother DPSing Geddon down, thats not the point of the objective. Instead, use the Flameseer's Staff in your backpack to "weaken" Geddon, it is a channeled attack.
You have to get close to him to channel this, but make sure you do it inbetween his Inferno attack, else you will die very quickly.
Once you have weakened him "20 times", he will end up giving you the old Living Bomb debuff from Molten Core, which will shoot you up in the air. To counter this, there is several archways located around the small camp, stand under one and it will limit your damage.

This just in: Fire still hot!
To complete this quest, you need three things:
1) Flameseer's Staff from the last quest (Flamebreaker)
2) Your "Don't stand in fire" training from WotLK, and
3) The ability to count to 9.If you dragged the Flameseer's Staff to your action bar for the last quest (Flamebreaker) you have to drag it to your bar again. (Read the tooltips. During Flamebreaker, it reads "Weaken...Blazebound Revenant." For this quest, it reads "Weaken Baron Geddon." Yeah...don't ask.)
He can be found in the middle of The Circle of Cinders (and is hard to miss). Stand out of range (charred ground marks the range of his AoE but stand a little farther back, to be on the safe side). When his AoE stops pulsing, step in, click on your staff and shoot rainbow stuff at him. When you're done, step back out of range. No worries; you'll have time. But don't try to get clever and hit him again before he starts his AoE. You won't have time, and you'll end up a pretty corpse in Hyjal.
His AoE pulses nine times. Keep count, step in, shoot rainbow at him, and step back. Repeat until quest completes.
Turn in, collect reward, and if you're a tank, you get to replace those bracers you spent months raiding Icecrown for.
Molten Core was merely a setback!

Ragnaros is not the only powerful elemental that has re-emerged into our world. The dreaded Baron Geddon is leading the onslaught and we must put an end to this rampage. The Flameseer's Staff has proven powerful. Perhaps it is powerful enough to weaken him to the point where our arch druids can bind him where he stands. Go, {name} and be careful. Baron Geddon is a vengeful and treacherous being.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Flamebreaker
The large elementals that besiege us are not a singular entity. They are an amalgamation of lesser spirits bound together by the Twilight's Hammer cultists' magic. The rebuilt flameseer's staff will give us enough power to shatter its bonds.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Emerald Allies
The druids of Hyjal are not the only ones sworn to defend this land. The emerald dragons have once again become a powerful ally to our cause. Speak to Alysra at the Ruins of Lar'donir, to the north, and see what you can do to help.
