I've never really put much effort in it until i discovered this thread and 5.1 removed the necessity of being in a raid group; This week I soloed all the old raids i was able to complete. The new razorgore was really easy and viscidus freezes and shatters really quickly (also bonus style points for killing it with warglaives).
RoS required a couple of trys to understand the fight. I used the classic Kick->CoS->kick->Prep->CoS->kick and after that Dots and recuperate did all the work for me.
Illidan was a bit of a challenge, being the only boss in BT who forced me to use a health potion (in the elementals phase). Sunwell was really easy, except that damn Brutallus...
Your suggestions were really useful in that encounter, because i understood that DPS>sustain in that fight, so i just kept recuperate up and used CoS every 3 stacks, ignoring shiv. Eventually he went down, too.
SSC is easy, but I couldn't win against Vash'j because after i got the 4 cores and started the last phase, she just stunned and owned me. I'll try again tomorrow with PvP trinket.
TK is a piece of cake, but i prefer to separate the 4 guys to be sure i don't get controlled too much.
Tonight i wanted to see how hard ICC 10 is: Marrowgar and Deathwhisper were critters, for the gunship i switched to Assassination and used Bovan's strategy. At the second try i managed to win with 3% health left on my ship, oh well.
Saurfang... is a different story. He hits hard and has a lot of health. I still have to give it a serious try with flask, food, drums etc though.
I'll let you know. How did you guys kill him?
