Ok, does anyone know any good strats killing Baron in UD Strath? I've never actually tried to 5 man him before the 1.10 patch, just the standard zerg. Last night I tried my first 5 man of UD Strath and we did okay until we got to Baron. We weren't trying to do the whole 45 minute thing, just wanted to finish some quests so our warrior could get the Argent Avenger sword for turning in Baron's Head. We didn't wipe at all until Baron. Baroness was the hardest of the mini-bosses, but our group handled it pretty good.

The group I usually run instances with lately is myself(Warlock), a prot. spec. warrior, a pally, a resto druid, then usually a rogue. I usually do the AoE aftter the warrior gets aggro. I'm 21/30/0. I usually have the imp out for the reduced threat. The pally switches between healing and doing damage (she loves killng undead). The Druid mostly focuses on healing the warrior. The rogue does what rogues do best, sap/kick/blind etc., and of course DPS. For the baron I was on AoE/skeleton duty. I started out using rank 4 RoF, but someone told me that rank 2 does the trick without using alot of mana. I Amp Curse of Agony, corruption, Siphon Life, and Immolate baron then concentrate on killing Skellies. Did alright the first attempt, got him down to around 14% or so before I and the healers ran outta mana :(.

Pally used SS and we gave it another try. This time I sacced a VW for good HP Regen, also this time i remembered to use the holy water when low on mana. The HP regen helped a bit, but we only got him down to 4% before I was outta mana and baron mananged to sac his skellies for a big heal. Any tips on what we might be able to do to actually kill him the next time we go there?

I'm thinking next time to try and sac a felpuppy for the mana regen, as I have more mana than HP usually and I'd be able to actually cast alot more with the mana regen going. I'm also thinking rank 3 RoF would do the trick as rank 2 just didn't seem to cut it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
