The biggest problem here is the other morons who will try to taunt the boss onto the bridge and reset him.
My general run to winning an Ashran game is Find the artifact, push up the middle as Ret, respec Prot once Emberfall is captured, and then attempt to rocket boots to the boss to pull him while blowing every cooldown to ensure I don't die. If Kronus is spawned along the way, I swap over to Prot to tank him as well.
The artifact is pretty key to this for me; that 200% bonus damage makes it so only a taunt will lose me threat, makes Light's Hammer kill anything that comes into melee range of me, and doubles hp so I last a little longer for healers to hopefully notice me and keep me topped.
If I can find the artifact and keep it (or find it twice in a row), I'll generally win Ashran within a 30 mins outside of some tricky horde pulling shenanigans to counter me.
