Welp time to solo it myself BRB
Yes all classes with pets can do it (Frost mage, Lock, Hunter and DK, but it wil take ages as dk since all you can do is ranged attacks), just make sure your pet makes the first hit and then move it so it wont stand in melee range. But I wouldnt call this clever use of game mechanics, its more of an exploit since you simply removes the possibility of the boss to do melee attacks and you remove the enrage timer.
I would assume it'd be possible for any class to solo a boss that roots its self in place (durumu, ji'kun, immerseus etc) as long as they have some way of dealing with the mechanics they do when you're out of reach. Ji'kun spams quills if there's no one in melee, Durumu spams "gaze" (50% weapon dmg ranged attack on entire raid), Sha of fear and pride spam reaching attack... Immerseus just continues to do the same thing he always does, and that makes it a much more trivial boss to solo. There's in theory very little healing you actually have to do to be able to kill him as you can avoid swirl, and move out of the sha puddles.
So yeah, you could do it as a hunter. Just put it on passive, and put it outside melee range, but closer to the boss than you and it'll soak the breaths. You'll just do a little less damage is all.
Immerseus is weird for a rooted boss, every other boss this expac that roots themselves in place has something they do if no one is in melee... Elegon, vizier, sha of fear, ji'kun, durumu, megera, phase 2 ra-den, Sha of Pride. Every one of those will make you heal through something if you're not in range (or in elegon's case he'll yank you to him). Immerseus is just like "hurrrrrr i'll breath you every 30 seconds and put puddles on the ground".

It has never been impossible. There is always someone soloing current content raids. Either by cleaver mechanic usage or flaws in the mechanics(such as pets being immune to the debuffs and such). Mages were able to solo all of Naxx during the start of LK by spell stealing the bone shield buff from the DKs there and just dragging one around with them to keep the buff refreshed. Blizz ended up making that spell immune to spell steal to fix it because it was such a damn powerful spell to begin with.
Random question - what is the name of the addon that counts down the buff duration in the video? Is that WeakAuras?
Regarding the addon ... if you have a lot of alts and you want to track what they have and havent done, then try savedinstances (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/saved_instances)
Am I missing something on the solo video? How is he soaking up the damage from the splashes when the sha oozes hit the middle?
what this exploit doing on front page, fml...
Tried this Immerseus myself today. Once the pet is set up its pretty simple. The enrage just makes the odd thing that hits you hurt a bit more than normal.
Careful positioning and patience and its not too bad. Took a resto druid friend with me for loot chance. Gave me symbio, which was useful but not really necessary. Both items dropped were unuseable by either of us Hardest part is keeping enough embers to outheal the damage he does when the small adds reach him at end of each p2.
Took me 70 minutes. ilvl 564.
I'm pretty sure this is an old video. When he enrages he one shots the raid now. I know this because we were doing the achievement for it a few weeks ago, and he berserked cause we took our jolly time with stopping oozes from reaching the middle.
Kinda sad people are bitching about blood dks soloing current expansion while warlocks solo current tier

really? if you got 2 accounts with 11 characters on each... many of those doing older lfrs for legendary quests, all doing soo...
Get the glyph that lets you chain MD to your pet, put your pet on passive & standing ~30 yards to your right, kgo. You'll need to remember to keep the MD refreshed constantly, but it should work fine.
You'd also need to be a bit more careful on the damage, but deterrence will deal with the slime explosions from p2 even better than a lock & your healing talent tier should be enough to clean up any incidental damage.
Can Windserpents sit at range & spam lightning bolt? If so, that'd make it a bit easier on the MDing.
No, wind serpents do melee damage, like every hunter pet.
I suppose this means hunters have to be SV for this fight. I imagine with deterrence/spirit bond this fight'd be a joke.
I need to learn how Blizzard reply to people.
They're not offending them but they're not saying : "yes too" or apologize to every replies.
I kinda admire them for that.
