TheWoWDBThe strategy my group came up with is actually quite brilliant, and I guarantee it will work if you do it correctly.
Step 1) Clear both of the Enslaved Nether Drakes in the area.
Step 2) Clear both rooms left and right of the Shamans inside of them.
Step 3) Have your group's tank initiate the fight by accepting the quest, and then quickly run over to where Zuluhed Spawns
Step 4) While Zuluhed is talking, everyone else in the group move into the room that you cleared FIRST.
Step 5) As soon as Zuluhed stops talking, have the tank attack him and then move him into the room where you begin to DPS.
Step 6) DPS Him hard and move out of his Rain of Fire. When he spawns a Demon Portal, everyone in the entire group run as fast as you can into the other room, have your main tank run out first so that he takes all of the gunfire from the archers.
Step 7) Once he's in the next room, the demon will spawn from the portal in the previous room, but will NOT aggro your group because he isn't near you anymore. DPS hard on him at this point because soon he will create another portal, and this time you will have nowhere to run to.
Step 8) Once he's at low health, he'll turn into a big demon, but he's still easymode, just DPS his down, and you'll be fine.
Step 9) Loot the key, and unlock the ball and chain around Karynaku's leg.
Step 10) Talk to her, and then you get to ride on a bigass dragon all the way back to your sweet quest rewards!Give + Rating if this helped your group!

How to get Neutral with Netherdrake (Netherdrake Epic Mount Quest Starter)
A list by Greengoo1. Kindness
- Kill 8 Rocknail Flayers, Use Carcasses to Feed 8 Dragons (don't move!). Also make sure to travel a bit when laying the meat, as the same drakes won't eat twice in a row.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=108042. Seek Out Neltharaku
- Fly on your mount and find Neltharaku, he patrols slowly around Dragonmaw about a few hundred feet up. You'll have to be about 5 yards UNDER him to talk to him.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=108113. Neltharaku's Tale
- Listen to story.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=108144. Infiltrating Dragonmaw Fortress
- Kill 15 of any type of orcs in the fortress.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=108365.To Netherwing Ledge!
- Find 12 Crystals from the floating island SE of the mainland.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=108376. The Force of Neltharaku
- Free 5 Dragons by using the item on them, then killing the orcs they agro.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=108547. Karynaku
- Find Karynaku, she's the second story of the fortress.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=108588. Zuluhed the Whacked
- Kill Zuluhed and recover the key. I recommend pulling him inside so as to avoid the archers, and kill him BEFORE he summons his add. Use the key he drops to free Karynaku.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=108729. Ally of the Netherwing
- Return to Mordenai, you will immediately gain 42,000 rep and become neutral.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1087010. ????
- Blizzard has announced that next patch they will be introducing a continuence of this quest line, including the ability to get exalted and purchase or receive through extensive questing an EPIC netherdrake mount. You will need epic training to use it however, so save your gold!
Make sure you're not mounted to accept this quest. He will not appear if you accept the quest while mounted. He appears right behind Karynaku.

What to do
Description
He hides in my thoughts, mortal. He waits for me to break... for me to bend to his will. And this will be his undoing. I will call for him. I will tell him that I will do as he asks. When he appears, kill him and take the key! Know this: Zuluhed is an ancient orc with unknown powers. He has surely been empowered further by Illidan. You risk your life for me in doing as I ask. Are you certain you wish to make such a sacrifice?
