Alright, let's discuss it. It was gonna happen sooner or later.

Does he burrow at a certain health % or at a certain time interval?

I may have an idea, but if this works, I doubt I'll be inclined to tell anyone.

Anyone else have ideas?

75%
50%
25%

Each of these points Anub will burrow. The -only- thing i have a plan for is to dps down to like 78%, wait for him to start casting and then rammmmm the dps and push him past 50%.

Somebody posted their strategy already on this in the 5man forums. I think it was you cast something on him to slow his casting speed then getting him close to submerging and wait for carrion swarm then go nuts with dps. Supposedly you can skip a whole burrowing phase at least like that.

WoWhead has him at 512,278 HP. That's 4269 DPS if he never burrowed to kill in exactly 2 minutes.

In order to skip two burrows (the bare minimum, just as a possibility), and assuming you double his four second cast to eight seconds, you'd have to take just over half of his health in eight seconds. DPS him down to 75%, let him burrow, kill two adds, then DPS him to 50.5%, and hit everything you have. He has to die, because if he burrows, there's no chance.

512,278 HP x 50.0001% = 256,140 HP

256,140 / 8 = 32017.5 DPS

Your group needs to pull 32,017.5 DPS absolute minimum for 8 seconds. Realistically you won't have 8 seconds, though, because you'll have to react to him casting the spell, and it's likely that some of those 8 seconds will be taking up by GCDs hitting the cooldowns (Bloodlust, Avenging Wrath, TBW, etc.).

I'm not saying it's impossible, I mean heck, if somebody did it, they did it. It just doesn't look feasible to me.

EDIT: And it appears to be a common idea to post on WoWhead and tell others that you "brute forced" things, or that the only way to do things is to "brute force" them.
