Have a hunter ready with tranq shot for if he does enrage to remove it.
QFT. If you're a hunter please please please be spamming your Tranq Shot button if you're pugging this fella; also be sure that you're in range the instant he closes in on the wall as being on the other side of the arena can mean the difference between one DPS dead and 5 DPS dead.

At the risk of being called a noob...
1: 25 man and Icehowl was looking at where I was standing or so I thought. He was actually looking a little bit to my left and because I chose to run to the left, I died.
2: 10 man, again Icehowl was looking at where I was standing or so I thought. It was basically impossible for me to tell because another char was standing on top of me and that char was blocking my view even when turning the camera around. I chose left again and was run over by something big and white.
My point is that it isn't always easy to tell if he is looking directly at you or a little bit to your left/right. That combined with my constant lag has caused problems for me.

Its not hard to see who hes charging at with DBM, it comes up across ur screen who its charging at, also even if hes looking a little bit to your left you should still be make sure you avoid him by making sure you are out of his charge, espicially with the speed boost u get, its not hard at all.
You would think so but no. I run as soon as stun wears off but I still eat the charge. Maybe it is because of my lag.

I would know so... Seeing as I've tanked this many times and have never been hit. If lag is your problem (Lag is the only excuse I accept from anyone who gets hit), then you need to turn down your graphic settings or something. Maybe just get a better computer (You can build a top of the line computer for $700 if you order the parts wholesale (
www.newegg.com
) and put it together yourself, if you don't know how to put it together yourself, I should hope you have a friend who does.)
I don't need help to build a computer because that isn't the problem. The problem is that I live in Mexico and play on EU servers. My latency is always around 600 and there isn't really anything I can do about it.

Here
problem solved.
Can I transfer characters from one region to another (i.e. moving North American characters to European realms or accounts)?
No. Characters can only be transferred between realms and accounts within the same region.
Try again!

Use ventrilo and shout at people failing, the frenzy effect is probably causing this. Also, Icehowl has quite a few bugs, and this can of course be another one of them.
As you probably already know, when you run out of time on the enrage timer, he will insta wipe out most of your raid (except those with cd's on)

The problem is that you're a bad player. You just spent an entire post outlining two specific times where you died because you're not good at the game. Stop blaming latency.

Thank you for the solution to all my problems. I will uninstall the game right away and never play anything but tetris.

To add to the being trampled part, not only does DBM announce if he's targeting you, it also announces if Icehowl is targeting someone near you.
That said, I do not use the strafing technique. I hold right mouse click, then just run 45 degrees away from him. It is
not
difficult to determine where he is charging.
And I don't know if it's just someone in our guild raid, or DBM, but there's often a ding on the mini map where Icehowl will be charging. If it's not DBM doing it, it's a nice strategy to use.
