I just checked some guides and it seems like you can do qon hc with 1 tank if you happen to have 2 Paladins available, which we have. At how many stacks do you have to use blessing to remove the debuff and when does the debuff drop off by itself?

You only need 1 paladin with Clemency. Remove Impale once before with Windstorm and shortly before Dam'ren transitions and all the dogs come back. You can use it one final time towards the end of the burn phase for safety.
With these HoP timings you'll be removing the stacks somewhere around 6 and 8. There are NO substantial advantages to removing Impale more often, but with 2 pallys you could remove it every 3-4 stacks if you really wanted.
Technically you only need one paladin. Doesnt matter which spec they are, just have them pick up clemency. Now a days we normally bop off the debuff at around 6 stacks but progression wise I would suggest 3-4. It MIGHT fall off during transistions but I wouldn't count on that. That is also the best time to get rid of the debuff and make sure that the tank has a cancel aura macro.

I find it amusing that the pally "requirements" in this thread keep reducing with the following post:
1) you need 2 pallies in raid
2) you only need 1 pally but they must take clemency
3) you only need 1 pally tank and they can take whatever talent from that tier they want
Anyhoo yep from a pally tank pov:
i) bubble off before wind (you'll have 8 stacks of impale most likely)
ii) hop off when the dogs drop
You'll have bubble available to use at your luxury if you need it.

In 25 HC you should bubble/bop it again, when Qon is around 30% health. Impale then ticks for ~600k.
Yes... And 2 Paladins can also both take Clemency and they would end up with 4 HoPs, but since you only need 2 debuff removals, you can use 2 Paladins without Clemency, 1 Paladin with Clemency or a Paladin tank...
As a pally tank you should be taking HoPur anyhoo
Or a dwarf tank lol. I'm a dwarf dk solo tanking this boss. Most important drop time is before wind storm and before Dam'ren transition. But since you are progressing and you have 2 pally, you could use one more between these 2, usually at 5-6 stacks; and one more towards the end. I use my 2min stoneform 4 times during this fight (timer is different than pally): before wind storm, beginning of Dam'ren (so that it will come up again at the beginning of p4), beginning of p4 when I am tanking all of them, towards the end.
