Vicejaw cannot be attacked from the front and he does a lot of damage, so you need to kite him over the Paleblade Flesheater bodies in the area until he gets full. When he starts to channel [spell=126126], you have 13 seconds to do as much damage from behind as you can. Then just rinse and repeat until he's dead.

At a certain point when he gets low, he'll pick you up in his mouth and carry you around, doing damage to you the whole time. You can use all your normal attacks, and have to finish him off before he kills you.
It seems like sometimes when he uses Upchuck, he will appear to turn around, leading you to believe you can attack, but attacks will still be deflected. This happened for me multiple times--if he does this, try to go in front of him to attack. Worked for me!

Description
Vicejaw! Sounds absolutely violent, does it not? I came up with it myself, and I think it's very suiting. I tried to wrestle my staff away from him for hours, but he simply would not let go! Okay, it was really more like a few seconds. I like to be truthful to my friends, even if it makes my stories significantly more boring. Anyway, would you be so kind as to release your oh-so-potent wrath upon this crocolisk with a vice-like jaw, and then kindly bring my staff back? Preferably in-tact!
