TheWoWDBVess-Guard Vik'az is a fairly straightforward fight. He walks about in the open with little risk of running into adds. It's a movement fight for melee, though, so keep your head level.
He uses whirlwinds as his most common attack, but also sets down a Whirling Blade. Its area of effect is actually a bit larger than the animation seems to indicate (at least so I thought), so until you get a feel for it, better stand an extra yard or two away. The effect doesn't move with him, so just get out of the area and don't go back in, as it lays down quite a whack over its duration.

He is NOT marked as a boss on the map. You'll find him around coordinates 29, 75. He doesn't move too far, just sticks around the houses.
if he is disarmed when he casts whirling blade, he goes to cast it again and will repeat casting it until his weapon returns(the spell does not succeed).

Description
Vess-Guard Vik'az co-ordinates the defense forces at Zan'vess. He is worth ten mantid in battle, and his presence inspires the Zan'thik who fight alongside him. Needless to say, we need him dead. He patrols the housing area at the center of the island.
