Wowwiki says:

Kargath will hit for about 500 on a well-geared tank

At the start of the fight, elite assassins spawn in the hallway near the stairs. Position your group spread out all the way around his cage. You need to do this so your group will not get owned when he does his Whirlwind spin. Assassins will not aggro unless walk all the way down the stairs. His cleave will still hit you if you are very very close to his cage, so have the tank tank him in the middle of the cage to keep Bladefist within range.

Over the course of the fight, non-elites will spawn down the entrance hallway and attack. These guys don't hit very hard, but DPS them down quickly since they'll be quite a pain in higher numbers.

During the fight, he will ping-pong around the cage, doing 1000-1500 damage to cloth wearers. This will increase as the fight goes on, so the more DPS on him, the better.

If you can take down the adds without taking too much DPS off Kargath, it should be a pretty straightforward fight.

Kargath's Blade Dance happens every 30 seconds, timed from when tank first engages him, and then it resets when each Blade Dance ends. If your group has Rogues it may be easier to make sure they run to join the rest of the group just before each Blade Dance starts and use the time the Blade Dance is happening to DPS down an add. This keeps everyone safe from the blade dance except the tank, and stops adds building up. Note: The blade dance is the main problem if you aren't aggroing Assassins from below. So it's really better to put eventual rogues and other melee on adds duty and kill Kargath with range attacks only.

The adds can be fear bombed with a well geared DPS group.

Casting amplify magic on all party members works well as neither the boss nor the adds do magic damage and keeping everyone alive during the Blade Dance can be rough on healers.

doogless Character Info Themorrigan 70 Human Warlock Kil'Jaeden US PvP Guild: The Collective Profile: Blizzard Armory	Re: [Shattered Halls] Kargath Bladefist You can stand on the 3rd/4th step up to him and do the fight from there for all ranged classes. You're far enough away from the Assassins that you won't aggro them and far enough away from Bladefist that the damage you take from Blade Dance is minimal. I'm not sure it's completely intended that you should do the fight this way, but after 5 consecutive wipes on heroic before we tried this I could really care less whether it was intended or not.
