Keep in mind that the only boss that'll be available tomorrow (assuming they've stuck with this plan) is the Northrend Beasts. Which...bleh. But
whatever.
Also note that at least right now, pretty good trinkets drop from the normal mode 5-man dungeon. Not best in slot, but if you've been gimped a bit on trinket luck, there's a good chance you'll get an upgrade there. The tanking trinket appears to be at least as good as anything else in Ulduar if not better than anything else in Ulduar - 1700 armor averaged + 126 stamina is pretty hawt.

A Jaraxxus video, with shitty music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfsYQIGu-oY The basic strategy (not that you can't figure this out, but I like being redundant) is DPS the guy, spread out, don't stand in fire, have a tank pick up the chick when she spawns & DPS the chick. Then switch back. Don't stand near the volcano (hi supremus), DPS the adds when they come out. The really tricky thing is to make sure that no matter what, the ability "Incinerate Flesh":Burns the flesh off your bones! Absorbs the next 70000 healing received and decreases damage dealt by 50% for 15 sec. If Incinerate Flesh is not removed before it expires it will cause a Burning Inferno. is healed. But that's basically it. More details on how to heal it and what the things do here: http://www.worldofmatticu...-coliseum-lord-jaraxxus/

Another good take on Jaraxxus:
http://4haelz.blogspot.com/2009/08/healing-lord-jeraxxus-25.html Specifically new info: when he opens a portal and summons a mistress of pain, he gets a stacked buff called nether power. This should be purged or spellstolen.

Faction Champions! Alright lets break out our pvp skills and do this, basicly its like a 10v25 arena match, with every class on the opposing side using pretty
much all of their pvp abilitys including Bladestorm, Fear, Chains of Ice, Hex, more chains of ice, charge, wound poison, chains of ice, deathgrip, priest fear,
trees, ele shaman knockback, boomkin knockback, shatter combo's, CYCLONE, roots, and Dispell's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDS0tc4fd-s There really isn't a strat for this boss aside from not being stupid and knowing how to pvp! Oh and also they're's a rogue that stealths around and kills priests, I shit you not.

This may be a "duh" for our healers already, but be sure you have a raid mod that shows aggro gains. Heroic is definitely gonna be more chaotic, and
early heal spams on a focus fire target will be key.

All speculation at this point, but figure you should start somewhere so that when everyone doesn't do their homework, they can be yelled at more accuratelypointed to this informational, helpful post.
Matticus has some details on the encounters from Tankspot. It doesn't look bad from this, but I doubt this is all: Northrend Beasts Encounter Gormok the Impaler
Acidmaw and Dreadscale
Icehowl
Lord Jaraxxus
Faction Champions
Val'kyr Twins
Anub'arak

More fun notes:
The beast encounter is fairly highly tuned; you have 3 minutes to down a beast before the next one comes out. That should be fun. Also, on Anub'arak - unlike on the PTRs the frost orbs that deposit permafrost don't stop Anub'arak from burrowing; they only stop his impale and the other mobs from burrowing. Not that it likely matters. His burrow is time-based; if you can get him to 30% within 1:20 he will not burrow at all.

Tankspot's video
for Anub'arak
[url=http://www.tankspot.com/f...encounter.html[/url]more text from tankspot about it It's apparently a fairly simple encounter; the only tricks I've heard about are to time death grips on the frost orbs to get better placement and to keep everyone's health around 40-50% during the leeching phase to make sure he doesn't gain so much health back (it drains based on the percentage of health you currently have).

Found some interesting stuff on the beasts encounter. Mostly from the plus heal forums
This second bit was very interesting to me. I am not sure how well we are timing healer cool downs, but it seems to be essential to achieve success.
