Standard blood tank build would probably be the easiest, I'd say.
While we're on the topic, would I be better off with my DK (4k or so DPS gs, significantly less, but still crit immune tank gear) or my Pally (4.4k tank, about 4k or so DPS)?
I realize that overall my pally has the better gear, but are DK's the better class choice to solo with (enough to offset the gear difference)?
For soloing old stuff, DK, definitely.
A blood spec going down to VB/Imp. Death Strike and then to Reaping in unholy will net you the most healing, an alternative to that is going deeper in unholy to get Crypt Fever/Ebon Plaguebringer and then to VotTW and MoB in blood, both are pretty much equally good. A perma-ghoul is very useful in some cases, and makes you able to use Death Pact 1 minute more often (due to reducing Raise Dead cooldown below Death Pact's).Originally Posted by Thun
If you're not doing interested in any of the "harder" solos you can just spec either unholy or blood and then just use a Death Strike-heavy rotation (you can also use a frost spec, but that doesn't give as much healing due to not having Imp. Death Strike/a third disease).
However, depending on gear, that extra healing might not even be needed. I know I don't need it >Originally Posted by Salooo
He has a 20-minute enrage timer.Originally Posted by mhp
Also if he's despawning check to make sure you're not near the door. If you're getting knocked out the door he'll despawn. (I almost got him Duo'd on my warrior with a paladin healer. I need to go back in sometime soon to down him.)
Since my guild has been having problems with people showing up (summer and all) I've been trying to start a soloing career as well and I've been curious which gets more dps and which gets more healing between the OP's ghoul/imp-DS spec vs. the unholy-heal spec. I'm really interested in trying to get Mag and Doomwalker as well viewing the videos today.
Just with a standard blood tanking build I was able to the trash in H PoS (skipped the mounted proto-drake mobs) and was able to kill forgemaster garfrost and get the achievement "Doesn't Go To Eleven" solo.

Other than keeping the heals on the king they pretty much just auto-pilot to a victory.
Dunno about the enrage timer. Either I remember badly and it wasn't 40 minutes of whacking, or I healed through the enrage. Then again... Doomwalker takes about 10 minutes, so Magtheridon might've been around 15-20 minutes of beating only.Originally Posted by Shelly
I had one time when I was near the door, but I was just knocked to the cube there when Magtheridon despawned.. will try to keep an eye open next time I attempt him.
