Training with Durian

I was able to solo this fight with [npc=68659] [1,1,1] for Murlocs, Harpies, and Wolvar, Oh My!.
Just fill in with two additional humanoid pets of your choice.

Vs. [npc=99015]
Sandstorm
Crush
Deflection
Crush until sunny is dead

Vs. [npc=99017]
Sandstorm if weather is sunny, otherwise just crush
Crush
Deflection
From here, use Deflection the round the [pet-ability=402] is going to go off and use Crush as filler until Roots is dead

Vs. [npc=99016]
Sandstorm (to reduce incoming damage)
Use Deflection when Beaky is up in the air
Use Sandstorm on CD and Crush as filler until dead

World Quest Team: [npc=55386] (1,2,1) | [npc=85527] (1,1,1) | [npc=15429] (1,1,1)
Essentially: two pets with [pet-ability=118], [pet-ability=230], [pet-ability=513] (list) & an ooze (list). I opted for Syd w/[pet-ability=934] to extend strat's viability, if you use a diff pet you'll just have to use the ooze more.

vs. Sunny

vs. Roots

vs. Beaky

[pet-ability=513]
[pet-ability=230]
[pet-ability=118] until Sunny dies

[pet-ability=513] (unless on CD)
[pet-ability=118]
[pet-ability=230]
Swap to Syd when stunned
[pet-ability=118] until Roots dies

[pet-ability=934]
[pet-ability=513]
[pet-ability=118] until Syd dies
Bring in Ooze
Prioritize:
1. [pet-ability=450]
2. [pet-ability=447]
3. [pet-ability=445]

Humanoid: Murlocs, Harpies, and Wolvar, Oh My!
- Surprise! [npc=68659] (1,1,1) can solo. Summary (here) by Skuppis, or play-by-play by Rikade (here). Don't forget to put Humanoids in slots 2 and 3 - [pet-ability=586] is strong vs. Beaky.

Magic: Master of Magic
- Team: [npc=85527] (1,1,1) can make a big dent in this team, usually 2/3rd (credit: Arrkhal - here). For Beaky, I brought [npc=68819] (2,2,2).

Mechanical: Roboteer
- Team: [npc=64899] (1,2,2) | [npc=12419] (1,1,1) | [npc=73011] (2,1,1)
I didn't wind up needing Bling, so another Mech could likely be subbed. If you don't have the Toad, Borelia has outlined how a [npc=68841] (2,1,1) could work.
