Killed the boss at the first try, not sure if it's nerfed but I did it with a 390 ilvl Orc Destruction Warlock with starter build, whole fight took around 4 minutes.
TL;DR Key is to Subjugate the summoned demons!
(I rewatched my own fight, now here is a small update, uploaded the video too, link below.)
Fight starts after you find Madam Shadow and after a small talk (SPOILER) she turns into a Dreadlord named Lord Banehollow!
That's the boss you will face!
But, now, BEFORE THAT prepare yourself! Conjure your Healthstone, summon your Void tank, pop any buff thingies you will use BEFORE approaching Madam Shadow. One extra note, in my fight I totally forgot and didn't put down a Demonic Gateway but it can help to reduce your aggro, so keep that in mind too, during preparation.
Also, prepare your mind too, because it is surely a (long) SOLO fight, no one can assist you and the place gets phased, no other player can enter.
After the reveal of the true face, fight starts quite normally.
- At 90% hp boss will pop his first fel bubble, this breaks with certain damage, but he will also summon an Empowered Felguard with a sword and board equipped, that will probably be tanked by your Voidwalker instantly, BUT here is the moment:
SUBJUGATE HIM!
The Empowered Felguard will easily tank Lord Banehollow, do your rotation, melt him down.
- But you won't, because you will just melt his fel bubble down, and when you manage to do that he will summon the second demon, an Empowered Pit Lord.
Now, in my fight I subjugated Pit Lord and Felguard attacked me, so I just waited for Havoc to proc on him and kept attacking boss, used a Mortal Coil for heal and Fear him away, then easily killed him. Probably you should keep Felguard as tank and kill Pit Lord though, seems more reasonable, but even if you don't you'll manage, no worries.
- Now you'll have two Empowered Dreadstalkers, just kill them, they're low hp, no need to worry. They'll keep coming until you get boss down to 60%.
- At 60% you'll have your second Empowered Pit Lord, yours will probably die off at this point so subjugate this new one and turn back to your rotation.
- Now you'll see an Empowered Imp, fun thing is, if you don't kill (or subjugate) this one, he will do a Fire Storm and rain an AoE with that all around, you'll see small fall points, escape from them.
- Boss will also start to cast Rain of Fire too, you'll see big circles on the ground, also escape from these.
- Again, prio is Empowered Imp, kill it then turn to boss, do some Drain Life, watch out for your own hp.
- Your Empowered Pit Lord won't keep any aggro, but that way it will do nice damage, he will die at some point but no worries, just keep doing your damage rotation and healing yourself.
- At 30% boss will pop another fel bubble and start another Drain Souls, just dps his bubble down now, but oh no... You won't because this bubble is huge, fills up boss's hp up to 50%~ish levels, but no worries help is coming!
- When boss finishes his channel, this time an Empowered Felhunter will come. Immediately Subjugate it! (I don't know what will happen if you don't but since they are "Caster Killers" and you are a caster, probably nothing good!)
- But here is the good part, this new colorful fluffy puppy IS the help! Send your new pet to boss, and here is the good trick: It will dispel boss's fel bubble instantly so you can continue to melt him down!
- Watch out for Seeds of Corruption now, with the purple circles and orbs at the center, also watch out for the Rain of Fire's big red circle, won't be too much of a problem but don't tunnel vision because boss is low.
- You can Fear or Mortal Coil boss now, pop one to heal yourself if you get low, also don't forget to Life Drain too, watch out your hp!
- Throw some more damage and he's dead! (Promising he'll be back... Arnie? Naa...)
So, that's it!
As you see, I can't say it's "easy" but it's very doable.
Focus on Subjugate, that was the key reflex move for me.
Good luck fellow Warlocks!
