Ultraxion was a more challenging fight than the first four encounters, and it took a little while to get the cooldown rotation down, and the timing for Heroic Will. As far as the DPS check for the encounter, being 6/7H before 4.3 certainly helped and we killed the boss the first time we didn’t have deaths due to failures on the heroic will mechanic (which can be unforgiving).
Our cooldown rotation for Hour of Twilight was
- MM Hunter, Deterrence
- MM Hunter, Readiness + Deterrence
- Prot Warrior, Shield Wall
- Prot Paladin, Guardian of the Ancient Kings
- MM Hunter, Deterrence
- MM Hunter, Readiness + Deterrence
- Prot Warrior, Shield Wall
We also had the option of an Ice Block, and Cloak of Shadows. In a pinch Stay of Execution, Last Stand and Shield Block (which is *always* up) worked too, but having a 1 minute Shield Wall cooldown was fantastic.
The picture is heading to the next boss on the ship.

Quote of the fight… “You know the reason we don’t mind wiping on this? It’s not orange…” Too true… such a relief to be out of the lava :S
