I solo all 12 bosses included HC LK 25 man each week. My character is Tarnesh on Dark Iron, I have ~535 ilvl dps gear as 2h Frost and ~540 ilvl tank gear (needed for Valithria).
I run 25 man for the first 2 bosses (only LK is heroic), 10 man on Gunship, 25 man for the 4th boss. Then I decide which wing to tackle first, blood or frost. If I go blood first, I clear trash to the princes, go mc a plague scientist, and kill princes as Frost with plague scientist. Then I clear to BQL, still on 25 man, with a plague scientist, and kill her as frost or blood (blood is easier, but Frost is faster). On to frost wing, step outside instance, switch to 10 man, put on all the stamina you can and spec blood, hope you can heal dreamwalker on first try. Sometimes takes 2-3 attempts (basically im not disciplined enough to stay on top of her to heal her with bloodworms 100% of the time). After thats done, go outside the instance, back to 25 man for the rest of the bosses. Sindragosa is easy, think I do it as blood, but is probably doable with frost.
As for plague wing, these guys have always been 1 shots for me since I started this a few weeks ago. I can do them (not PP) as frost with no problem as long as I have an mc plague scientist. I hit ~400k dps easily without flask or drums. On PP, I switch back to blood just to make it easier. Once LK is the only boss left, switch to heroic inside the instance, go blood, and follow the various strats already posted (p1 on the steps, dps through transitions using cd's to survive if you need to, i find icy spheres easy to target by having the camera straight above myself and the LK pointing down with nameplates off, single RS kills them, dps LK only using DRW and Outbreak together for double diseases). Total clear should take less than 2 hours, and thats a leisurely pace. Since starting to clear it weekly about a month ago, I have never wiped in plague wing, and LK is only due to poor placement in p1 and being blown off the ledge.
You're doing it all to complicated. You only need to kill Lich King once on 25m normal to unlock heroic. After that you can clear up to LK on 10N, go outside, set 25m and go inside and swap to heroic. If you kill any bosses on heroic, you can not swap between 10/25 mode.
It's been a while since I've done it, but I belive it's enough to enter with your alt now, accept save and then extend lockout every week. Though it's been a while since I've done this myself, as I usually clear full ICC with a friend for a shield that just won't drop.
Nomi Solo - 70 DK soloing
You sir/madam are a God. ^-^. I was going to give it another attempt tonight anyway, WANT THAT MIMS HEAD!. Thank you for your suggestions. With ampathy (I think thats the one that slows you down a metric butt load) is there any way of removing this? I'm avid at DK at best, only play it to solo H LK and soon Mims head (MORE LFR!!). That was a big issue, going into the first/second brain room with it on me due to having to tank a crusher and being unable to go kill the corrupters due to constrictors chaining me.
Thankyou for your reply Mione, I'll be giving it another shot soon.

Ok, thank you again Mione. A huge help
What ilvl should I aim for to solo LK and yoga as dps specc? I don't really like soloing as tank so if you don't need a insane amount of gear to do it as dos I would rather do it that way.

Fungj is asking about soloing them as a DPS specialization, which would require 530 gear as Unholy (slightly more for Frost I'd guess), and ~530-540 for Yogg in a DPS specialization.
The reason why people at 550 do not do well on Yogg is because it's the sort of fight where mechanics > gear. That's why someone like Mione can do it with a 510 ilevel, while someone else might struggle with much more gear.

Weapon and Trinkets make it easiert though
On Yogg+0 do the Immortal Guardian adds still do less damage at low health? Might be where I'm going wrong.
AND soloed morchok 25 normal, I know it's already been soloed, but had to do it as well!
Was thinking it would've been harder, especially since my 564 dps gear is fully reforged for blood dps, while morchok 25 stomps hit 2.250.000 physical damage, as in 975.000 pre-blood presence, bone shield, blood shield, IBF, and pre-sunder armor, wiped on first try at 44% after 4 mins (worried about enrage) and got it on 2nd try.
Used another set I have with around 194% mastery, very low avoidance though, including thok normal weapon which I just got tonight (and put straight to use) instead of sha of pride normal weapon which I normally use for max dps.
I was thinking I'd have had to get the mastery 543 trinket from the timeless isle, that I'd have had to reforge all my dps gear to mastery or parry, that I'd have had to pay 7k for the legendary tank cloak and instead...
A mix of dps gear and all mastery items I had + legendary dps cloak + legendary tank metagem were enough, although it was a fun fight.
Was like soloing 10-man back when the first kills happened, just with both having bigger numbers, required some cd timing for the stomps, I tried (on the phases with 4 stomps, so all except first) to take the first one without bone shield, which barely destroyed my blood shield, then bone shield before the 2nd, VB depending on how much my hp dipped, else kept it for the 3rd, I used purgatory and IBF glyph, purgatory because even though I love lichborne, the cause of wipes here is literally full hp BUT not enough blood shield, stomp, dead, there's no place for lichborne, in my kill shot purgatory didn't proc, but this time it can really save you if you dip not much below 1 hp, and as for IBF, it has perfect timing, can be used once per stomp phase, in this case I only used it once when I had 6 stacks (and easily survived the stomp) and could've used it at furious, but no point, my transition to furious was perfect, he did his 4th stomp, then went furious, so BL drums and potion and got it almost dead when he did a furious stomp which didn't even break my blood shield with bone shield and VB up, there weren't any more stomps. End of mop soloing objectives for me. 29 sec to enrage btw.

Recently picked up Juggernaut's Focusing Crystal-LFR Thoughts about using it for Frost/unholy soloing? Or even Blood.
Sadly yes, it's the best way, we blood dks are really strong in survival if we can hit the enemy, if we can't, we can only use death pact, maybe LB if you can get some rp out, IBF, AMS, bone shield to mitigate a bit the damage and kite a bit if you can.
This is fun stuff though, I remember letting magtheridon enrage at 85, took 22 mins or so, but I could outheal it fully without attacking him pre enrage, then I wiped in dps gear, put tank gear on, easier but still challenging, also did in cata lots of other tbc bosses enraged, like hyjal anetheron, kaz'rogal, azgalor (this last was really hard, 22k quick hits), black temple almost done supremus, done teron, SSC done karathress but only without him being empowered by adds, also done hydross I think, and also leotheras, either enraged or managed to kill the demon form (2,6 mil hp and stacking debuff). Also did void reaver in TK, al'ar, although the hp was low due to adds dying and removing hp to the boss, as for sunwell I was able to do felmyst, was annoying due to the fog, took over 20 mins and enraged 2 times! He enrages, 5 mins and it fades, 5 mins and enrages, lol. Wasn't able to do others in sunwell (in cata ofc).
