oculus hard mode, nobody uses a drake.
do it. Pro: everyone gets all 3 void achievements at once.
Con: It takes about an hour because eregos has almost 4 million hp. Also, pretty sure that without Time Stop the first enrage will kill the tank.
Edit: Tenpenny, your assumption that we were overgeared is false. My first group ever was a fresh 80 paladin who didn't even have his helm enchant yet, a resto druid in all quest greens/blues, myself in full T6 and the ring of anguish weapon reward, an arcane mage in nearly the same mish-mash of quest greens and blues as our healer, and a warrior who had just crafted his tempered saronite/titansteel gear. We stood our ground and soaked it, then ran behind the pillars when he teleported, just like in the Ikiss fight. We also 1 shot it.
Just because you run with crap groups doesn't make the encounter "hard". It means you run with crap groups who suck.

Another suggestion would be to típ people off to do the "pre quest" where you actually learn to fly the drakes you use on Era.
The pre-quest shows the dragons used in the
Malygos
-fight, not the Eregos-fight.
*edit*
Btw, IT's a daily. :P

This is really interesting, I have never had problems with the Mage boss OR Eregos in Oculus, NOR the snake boss (sladran?) in Gundrak either. Even Loken I've only had one group that had trouble, but the Prot Pally (who was amazing) and a very well geared rogue were able to finish him off.
Oddly enough, the groups I've been in have had trouble on Anub'arak and Keristrazsa. Just goes to show it all depends on the group.

The Mage boss imho is the hardest heroic boss in the game. 2nd would be the Snake boss in Gundrak.
You think that snake boss is hard? I think he's the hardest boss in Gundrak, though all Gundrak bosses are the easiest of all hc's. And for myself, I think that Loken is the hardest.

simply put..research. There is a load of information(read/video) available on all the bosses. There is never a reason to go blind into any boss fight. Occulus is easy once you know what each boss does and where you need to be. It just seems that when some players have to deal with anything besides standing in one place and fighting they have fits.
The Mage boss imho is the hardest heroic boss in the game. 2nd would be the Snake boss in Gundrak.
Mage boss..always have range stand by pillars. On teleport and return..immediately move to next pillar. Tank kites towards them. Melee stay with tank..no one should ever be behind mage.
Snake Boss in Gundrak. Don't fight him in his room..keep clearing out trash mob until you get to second boss location. Clear out that room of stone golems and purple adds.(you can choose to do second boss if you want first..but not necessary) DPS stays there. Have tank run back and pull snake boss and run back into second boss room(do not fight boss..just run and make him follow). Tank snake boss just inside entrance. You will practically deal with no snake adds. Have a healer standing at front entrance of second boss room just in case tank needs a quick heal or cleanse as he is running back.

I love Oculus. It's a great instance to run to see if you are ready for running raids. It's not
hard
. It just takes a degree of group coordination with which most non-raiders are not familiar. If you're having trouble with Oculus, read up on the fights and make sure you go with a group that has done the same. If everyone understands their roles on the drakes,
Ley-Guardian Eregos
is a loot-piñata.

A lot of people, myself included, hate Occulus because I can't faceroll my way to easy badges on Eregos. The rest of the bosses aren't really challenging though, so as long as you explain (and make sure people hear) about what the drakes do, you should be fine in there.

You've obviously never done Heroic Shadow Labs.
Murmur was a pain in the ass.
